AMARYLLIS ,et al

 

Yesterday, Amaryllis began to open up...

It looks like

 a striped pink one!!!....

💗;))))💗

(sorry for the dark photo--a very

gray day out there).

AND

this morning early....

She is opening more by the minute...

And....

↓↓↓↓

Now....

you can see the striated petals

Definitely worth waiting for...

So lovely against last night's 

snowfall...

Here is the early morning view from our

back deck--

You can just make out the last

of the snow clouds and the 

sun rising in the far misty morning...

A Winter Wonderland--

All so quiet and

so hushed.....

And now with the sun having 

come out...

the tops of the trees look

gilded..

.

I love the Winter landscape after

snowfall....

***********************
My friend Lizzy

encouraged me to take 

my Bramble Blooms 1

out and revisit it...

she liked my pot of 

little 

crocuses....😇

{I was unhappy as to 

how it came out before--

somehow I felt I had 

failed with this one}

It is resting on my dining room table

right now for a 2nd looksee....

I don't think I will abandon it

after all...

It measures 28" x 28"...

and

I have decided to finish it; as

it was 2024's big project

along with Audrey

for her SAL....

As my first ever effort 

making a 

medallion piece

it contains a lot of my 

favorite fabrics and those 

little yellow roses that

I made long ago...

Soooo,

I am now thinking 

it's worth finishing...

But.....

So so out of my wheelhouse...

😔

Thanks so much, Lizzy,

 for your kind words

 of encouragement.

Hugs, Julierose
