Snowflakes and Flowers

So it is the end of April...and it uh was SNOWING TODAY. I've about had it with "whimpy spring" and "Mr. Strong winter". My poor tulips are swaying in the 32' weather...

I decided to come inside and put my hoe and gloves aside and do fun stuff. ANd try to remember that the fun outside will come one of these days.

I am not ashamed to say that I love my Living Magazine. When it comes, I just get a little thrill. I know that the pages are fresh and new and smell good. I know there will be glossy photographs of food I would rarely try. But I also know that reading it gives my creative juices a jump and my mind gets to going...LOVE THAT.

So when I saw this months issue with the poppies on it...I was THRILLED. I LOVE poppies! Okay, there is really no flower out there that I DON'T love. But right now, I love poppies.

Off I went to get some red silk so I could make one...

and I wore it on Easter Sunday. I don't really care if it is as big as a salad plate....I am so over being cool. I wore it because I think it is really pretty.
