HELLO, SPRING-- GREEN AND PINK

 
A Springtime hello to you all;
above is my North facing living room
plant window 
with my new spider plant
and

my two mini pointsettias
I am coddling 
to hopefully keep them for next 
Christmas. 
 
They both seem to be thriving here; 
I see little new leaves and
some buds, too.

My favorite is the pink and green one;)))
Isn't she lovely with that shading?
Sigh....
the light lime green one is also
doing really well
so far....
↧↧↧
See that tiny leaflet and those little buddlings?
this makes me so happy;))๐Ÿ˜‡

****************************

All this greenery and "pinkery" (:}}} )
led me to check out my green and pink
scrap bags....

And I just made these:
↴↴↴↴
Just some simple strip sewing--
and----
what will they be you ask???
Answer: I have no idea! 
I am hoping something will come to me...

For right now it is enough that I
actually sat down and sewed
for a little bit, pairing these
leftover bits together...
For you see, 
I have been in a deep sewing 
slump this past month...
as you probably noticed with
no postings...

I just couldn't get myself to 
do any sewing at all..๐Ÿ˜“๐Ÿ˜”

So I've just been
reading and glue booking
a bit and working on
my crocheted 
afghan...on and off...

I hope this lovely Spring day
brings you joy...

hugs, Julierose,
La Blageuse

  3. Love the pink and green combo. Getting the inertia out is sometimes all you need for inspiration.

  4. Those pretty pink and green fabrics will vanish the sewing slump. Such lovely fabrics. Pink and green are the best of friends. Love the sweet hexie runner your spider plant is resting on. Those poinsettias are looking healthy. That sunny little spot seems to be the perfect place to be. Enjoy your Spring day.

  5. I love that your pretty plants inspired your sewing, Julierose! Sometimes all we can do is sew some scraps together, but doesn't it feel good? I hope you're doing well - good to see a post from you!

  6. I love your pink and greens. Good for you keeping the Poinsettias alive. I haven't had any luck with that.

  8. I always love pink and green together. Sew when you feel like it. Sometimes, it's nice to just take a break!

  9. We have one very shady spot in the backyard. I'm thinking about caladiums...

  10. Hope you have better luck with your spider plant than I do. I can't count how many I've managed to kill and I'm currently working on another one. They're supposed to be really good for the air quality so that's why I buy them but I have never been lucky enough to see any babies.
    I think, when it comes to reblooming poinsettias, that at some point in the year they need to be put someplace dark for a period of time. I remember reading that but have never tried it.
