FLOWERING, et al

 

My big front-yard Iris

in bloom...

It smells like grapes;)))

Also my Rhodie has begun

its yearly plethora of

flowering

↓↓↓↓↓

I do like this color bloom...

Almost a lavender-pink-ey hue...

Looks like Spring has begun here...

Pretty hot today, but not the 

scorcher they predicted..

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

My Fabric Journal "Beautiful Bird

and Favorite Color" page is

finished...

Flying away home...

Some beading and some 

wayward French knotting...

to add some interest

and a bit of lace at the bottom...

I kantha stitched this little bit of 

binding on the 

edge also...

All the fabrics in this series are raw edge...

This has been my favorite prompt so far...

We have one more for

 this group of

pages in this style...

This has been a lovely Sunday--hot, but not humid;

we are sitting out on our deck after our

bbq hot dog and potato salad

welcome to Spring dinner...

IRIS IN THE RAIN, et al

                                                            ISN'T SHE LOVELY?

this iris has three to four buds and as this one fades another one will bloom...
this beauty  also smells like grapes...amazing...

 My son and daughter-in-law gifted me with this lovely geranium for my birthday/Mother's Day...

It sits on my front steps....such a pretty color in these Ivy geraniums...
****************************************************************

Now, something feels wrong to me about this piece....It would be (in this form)
about 60 x 60 and                  
is a whole lot of blue and white...AND............
it has just begun  to not "feel right" to me....

Star Rise is lifting over my front garden (in my mind anyway)--and so I feel that I need
a garden of some sort at the bottom...I need to move it  around and see how I can add
deep, dark greens to indicate the garden areas...and what form they should take...

Why can I never seem to just follow a picture/pattern as is?  I don't know why...really...
after staring at this for many days now, it just doesn't "do it" for me--
as lovely as this pattern is...for me, it needs ..............

something a "je ne sais quois" bit...something more....

Here is the bottom section...uhhh....the same as the top...so I am in the throes of
changing it all up...to what and how it will turn out, I have no idea--well, a few, but they are really just amorphous right now--just a glimmer of an idea...

And so, on this very cool Tuesday, while I am pinning the 2nd "I Spy" quilt on my dining room table, my mind is imagining blocks....imagining in green,....
