PASTEL BLUES....NOT SO MUCH....


Strippy scrapping along here...these are the extent of my pastel blues--see those little pieces?? 







I'm not kidding, this is it....











And these few...just a couple more strippies will contain some bits and bobs....

My September RSC13 is a little paltry, huh?  But, with so little to work with I figured I might as well get busy on my "Sea Glass" piece.  So far, 31 blocks, and yesterday I made 11 more strips to piece together.

I am excited to  have been invited to post on  Stringthingalong .....   so, I am re-energized to finish this piece.  If you visit that site, you can see amazing string works....

MISSIE:  This is for you  ma dear....merci, merci look at this....
Here are the pix of the clematis you sent me--still not in bloom, but sprouting away:







It has really grown out over my plant holder and wind chimes................










AND, I think those are little flower buds--I can't wait to see it bloom; last night we had thunder boomers, lightening and rain and today more rain...so perhaps this weekend I will have flowers! I can't thank you enough for your generous gift.....((((((hugs))))
 Missie can be found at Hallbrook Designs  check her out--great stuff.

I hope you all have a great weekend...

P.S.  I am off with my wonderful friend, MaryAnn, to Colchester Mill Fabrics today--uuunh, didn't I say I was on a fabric diet????  Wellll, I really really DO NEED to get some white with blacks for a new hexie pathways project; I mean it is really NECESSARY (right ROTFLOL) ; and I have to re-stash those blues, don't you think I mean after seeing those puny little pieces....yup.  I will post my goodies next time,.,...hugs to all
