Beauty

as it stands
from my garden
i am ever so grateful for...and to have
sweet scented roses

a dear friend lost her mother this week
a card to soothe her soul
thinking of her

a niece of mine is about to give birth
knowing its a girl
i wish dear little scarlet rose a safe and dreamy delivery

a few months ago another friend of mine lost her mother
and another gave birth to a girl the same day
its a very interesting life cycle we have going on here sometimes
it seems

you may remember a little while ago me boasting about these scones
Stephanie from Providence Handmade will gladly share this
ever so easy peasy recipe with you too
thanks Steph they were a treat
or so i believe
i am being good !!

last ...but never least
the same roses about 5 days later
i have learned to pick them early morning and just out of bud
some of these roses give me a week in a vase
without changing water
now there's a gift
stay well my dear friends
thanks for popping by....sweet days :)x

Oww

an old rowing partner

rang me
it happens from time to time
..............

the rest is history
i had this post sitting in limbo for the past two days
camera not obeying
new updates installed
and not enough time and/or motivation to sit and sort out the varyances
.....
found a very delicious scone recipe from Stephanie at Providence Handmade
just had to make it
but not eat it...(these hips need reduction) LOL
was told by the critiques (piranhas of the home)
they were 'OK'
i take it that means pretty damm good
considering it took all of 10 minutes to devour
....
sorry Stephanie
no pics as promised
once i have the time to play with the canon
that does not want to play...or perhaps its my computer
or the handler behind them both
.....sorry guys...boring post
I WILL SAY THOUGH THE ROW WAS SUPERB
thanks for popping by
happy weekend :)x
dreaming about my quilt

I Said

i wouldn't
but of course i am going to

a sample pot awaits
it must be the integrity in me
that says to leave this alone
but i have such a strong aversion to dark wood it seems
so
USA white
it will soon be
it is going to be some job getting all the little metal plates off though
first i must have the missing drawers made
...
in the quiet hours
...

i continue with a little stitching
braid stitch
i think my thread is a little too thick for the stitch
i will persevere though
i want to add lots of patches of
stitchery
to a quilt i have in mind
...
day off today
although i need to meet with a client for an hour or so
and more rain expected here
i am surrounded by
beautiful wet green pastures
happy day :)x

Just a little glimpse

of some beauty
unfolding
here
...

...
lots of beautiful hibiscus
only moments to snatch pics
such continuous rain
...

...

a little unlearned of the climatic conditions
of this beautiful yellow Clivea

a surprise
for sure
...
beautiful rainfall means
lots of creative time
inside
will grab some pics soon
...

happy new year :)x
