Flowers and Friends. . .

 

The lilacs are blooming, the irises are happily swaying in the breeze and everything is green.  Today I saw I have columbine starting to bloom.  Roses too!!  The bleeding heart has some flowers and the shade garden is really coming together.  Peony should be in full bloom any day now. . .

This is a picture of our iris patch in the front yard.  I love irises and these are so fragrant.

The lilac next to the front porch was very nice this year.  Another beautiful fragrance that hits you when you step outside.  

 

I had to share my Betty Ann dollie with you.  She looks just like she is off a covered wagon going through the Flint Hills.  Made for me by my friend Betty of primitivebettys.  Her apron says “friend”, I love it Betty, thank you.  Betty Ann looks so at home on my desk’s shelf along with Stacy Nash’s  pretty Robin Pinkeep and the Quaker Box I made at Stitch Camp!  That was such a fun project by the gals from Blackbird Designs and a pinkeep to go along with it.  There is a cross stitch piece that sits on the bottom of the box, but it’s not quite done yet.  When it is I’ll upload a picture of it.  Hmmmm, still have to tell you all about stitch camp.  It’s been a very busy three weeks. 

Pam W shared her Quaker Row finish that I uploaded to the gallery.  The piece and framing turned out beautiful.  The frame definitely looks old.  What a great job Pam!!!  And thanks for sharing the picture with us!!

Ending this with a picture of Momma Cat with her four babies.  They are so cute.  And they are so round!  I am guessing she is taking really good care of them. 

Thanks everyone for stopping by!!
