The Wall

My last post talked about how I've been working on my quilt (still am!).  The other project to finish in preparation for the new baby is a stone wall by our pool.  This is a project that was started last summer.  I saw on the internet how to build a stone wall without mortar.  I said, "I can do that.  It probably won't take me more than a day or two."  Huh, huh, huh. My dad came down to help me.  He was here for 5 days.  We finished about 1/4 of it.  To put it mildly, I miscalculated. 

This is my pool/patio/wall inspiration:



Not quite a year later, it is still unfinished.  But I have not given up.  Since I learned of my due date, I've been working on my wall a little at a time, about 30 minutes to an hour each day.  I'd say I'm 2/3 of the way done now.  I'll post some pictures soon so you can see the progress.  Actually, I think I'm going to go out and work right now while someone is sleeping!
