FLOWERING ,et al

 

The brief rain shower we had two days ago
brought my Hydrangea into bloom;)))
Aren't these big blowsy flowerheads just beautiful !!
their whites are SO WHITE--against the
deep green leaves....

It sits by our deck staircase and we
can view it from our living room back window
as we sit there for our daily cocktail hour
and chat...
What a lovely sight 😊
**********************

My African Violet has just finished
a huge spate of blooming
and there are now just a few
little blooms left
I wonder if it will put forth more flowers
or if I will have to wait while it
rests up...?????

****************************
And Kawandi 
aka "Daughter of Dark Days"
is also
in Flower:

I finished pinning all the patches in 
place--not the usual pin as you go
method, but I don't care for that
piecemeal way of construction...
So....

I added this lovely floral fabric as the central 
motif...and got everything
placed....

As I work around--each
round gets shorter and shorter
and the stitching 
 moves along faster...

You can see the spiraling stitches move
in the rectangular shape...
here is the warm end

And..
Here is the cooler end...

Using varied colored threads makes the lines
appear and disappear depending on the
fabric colors as I move along...
toward the central portion....
************************

We are still in a heat 
and humidity wave here
in our SE CT shoreline...
But....
They predict showers on Thursday
followed by a cool front moving over us...
I sincerely hope so!!

Hope those of you suffering in this heat
can stay cool
