My little table garden...
in our side tv room
facing Northerly....
I have two new amaryllis bulbs
placed there...
that I have put on sea glass
in water for now,
and
When they arrived in the mail
they were already sprouting...
Mom and I collected this sea glass
on our beach walks long ago...
And....
This cactus has had only one bloom
But, it is so pretty...
So....
I have ordered new cactus soil
and feeding beads as I think
their soil is depleted...
I will be doing some planting
of them in larger pots...
My "forgotten" amaryllis has
sent up lots of leaves
but no stem as yet
Below is my spider plant,
a favorite for me...

This morning I set up Helga for
quilting and got
to work on my 3 placemats...
This is the first one
in progress:
I took a little "shoulder" break and
went for a short circuit of our Cul-de Sac--
Here is the placemat all quilted:
This is made from all the little cutoffs
from the Christmas Ojos I made...
the back--
this fabric has been hanging out in
my Christmas box for-EVER!!
I used matchstick quilting as I know
it will be washed a lot and
wanted to make it sturdier...
Two more to finish before I work
on my larger Ojos; I thought
I would work on these smaller
projects to "get back" into
machine quilting before
tackling bigger pieces.

Our garden guy is stopping in at noon
to give us a quote on digging up
our little front patio garden as
neither of us
cannot handle digging
anymore; we will just
have him seed it with
grass for easier care.
So, between the clump of bushes
and the patio seating area
will be just a continuation of our lawn..
The roots are pretty big and deep
S I G H
I will SO miss
puttering about in this small
garden area for sure...
but.................
I plan to put out some pots
along the patio edge and also
we will put our new garden planter
on the side of the patio...
Here is Tom putting it together...
this morning it was warm enough
in our garage for him to poly-
urethane it...
**********************
The rest of this week will be machine
quilting a bit at a time and then
filling in my 3rd strawberry with
hand quilting...

Oh
and...
