LAZY DAZEY

Here is a card I whipped together this past Monday.  I just love this spellbinders Daisy 2.  The leaves are just great and I enjoy working with the different configurations you can make.  I used a paper that I purchased form Michaels that I just love.  I can't remember the name of it since I only bought 2 sheets but it's real thick, front and back sides are dp and I love the feel of it.  Almost like leather.  Had to make something with it so this is what came out of the thought process.  The verse I just love.  I found it on A Year From Oak Cottage.  I love reading Marie's  blog so check it out.  Marie is an outstanding artist and lots of yummy recipes on her other blog site The English Kitchen.  She's always putting little tidbits of wisdom and poetry into her blog and I just love them all.

The picture is a little yellow since I took it on the desk in my bedroom and my lamp is pinkish so it made it a tint more yellow than it really is.  I sewed around the edge just because I like that shabby look.  Enjoy and have a wonderful week.

Am I Obsessed??

Yes I do think I am obsessed with my patio garden this year.  I have enjoyed it so much and the summer has just begun.  How can such little things bring such joy I don't know but they really do.  Somehow I can sit for hours and stare at these flowers and just feel nothing but peace and contentment - lost in my thoughts and embraced by the beauty.  I watch and preen these little beauties like babies.  Watching them grow into adulthood is my greatest joy.  Such a short time and we are in full bloom and still growing.

Just click on the picture to enlarge.

Happy Spring Planting

Here are a few pictures of my new plants.  Some are about a week old and have doubled in size already.  I like to take pictures of how much they grow every month to see the difference.  That's most of the fun is watching them grow.  On vacation this week and enjoying every second.  Just plan to sit on my patio and enjoy the sun and beauty now that the wind has stopped blowing.  Whish - thought I would blow away yesterday.
