    I love that embroidery on the feathers -- it is so YOU, Marie! :) The color of the hydrangea is beautiful, I sure wish they grew well here...good things lie ahead, I'm thinking, with those new fabrics! xoxo

    Hi Peggy,

    I had big plans for yesterday, july 6, my birthday...one was to sit and stitch and contemplate my life..lol! None of which happened! lol! I did have a lovely day and seeing your comment made me smile :)
    I can not wait to jump in to those new DS fabrics and make something fun! I was trying to see if I could sneek them into my Madonna quilt, but only one of them will work.
    The hydrangea love acidic soil (coffee grounds help them to stay that brilliant blue).
    Wishing you beautiful Summer days!!!! xoxo

    Happy Birthday Marie!
    I have been thinking about you and your garden. So glad to see how beautiful it has become. From reading your blog I can see that you have been making a lot of drama come true. what kind of dog did you get. what did you name him or her ?

      Hi Becky,

      The dog is a small Yorkshire Terrier. His name is Oliver Bentley. There are parts of the garden that are doing really well. Thank you xoxo

      Hi Gina,

      Pinterest is my therapy lol!
      I spent the day with one of my daughters running around doing errands...the fun kind. We had breakfast at Panera's Bakery/Restaurant and then to Victoria's Secret because I needed girl things (which I am too cheap to spend money on lol!) All and all a fun day. Dinner with the other family members :) Thank you.
      Wishing you and your family a fun Summer! :)
      xoxo

    Hi Dulcy,

    the garden has been lovely this year...about the only thing that has been accomplished. The squash leaves are giant! The baby tomatoes did very well.
    lots of pretty flowers too!
    Days like this one are such a gift. xo

    Hi Marie,
    Love that fabric! Beautiful garden as well. I am sure you would love to be back in your garden of time for it had passed on to another season. Nice that we can press these memories in photos!

    Hope you are having a warm holiday season!
