Sunny Sunday Sewing on the Go??

Looking out the window and it's a beautiful sunny day in California !   My flowers are all blooming or going to bloom very soon.   The outdoors is calling me....please come outside!   So I will take my hand stitching poolside and enjoy a day in the sun.
Lantana in wild abandon


I have contemplated taking my sewing machine outdoors...have you ever heard of anyone doing so?  I don't have a patio cover, just an umbrella or an easy up but that takes a bit of help to put up..funny since its called an "easy up".   I once read that Pokey Bolton likes to take her machine out onto the porch in warm weather....

My only issue is running back inside every time I remember I need something..like the seam ripper or the other seam ripper or a different thread....I already do this when I need to run upstairs for some notion or another.

 Scarlet Trumpet Vine....I never thought it would take to the dry, dry rocky soil......

Are you an outdoor lover too and do you create outside?  Love to hear your comments.....

 The first Hibiscus....they take a while to start blooming, but will bloom all summer long....








 Raised vegetable beds to keep the bunnies at bay.  Tomato sprouts and a lone zucchini plant.
Giant Bird of Paradise.  Not sure if this is the real name...

Off to sew away the day, K

Update, here's the blocks I finished today while enjoying the garden....

Linking up with Plum and June.
