I spent a good part of Friday in the sunshine. These beautiful camellias are in full bloom on a bush in our backyard. They are just gorgeous this year! And so many.
My fig tree is starting to leaf out and even the little figs have begun to grow!
I worked on three different art projects. One I can't show, but I am aching to as it came out so cute. It's a post card I made for Cat in our Global Postcard exchange. But I have to mail it and wait for her to post it on that blog. So keep checking in there in about a week!
I did also work on my "Love" card for an Artshine Traveling Book page.
Some of you may recall this photo. It's my grandparents dressed as
Maggie and Jiggs
for a costume party many years ago.
They are to me the epitome of love, as they shared a true love for over 60 years.
I sewed paper photo to muslin and surrounded it with pink and red woolly bits.
And wrote using the free motion foot the word
Love!
This is a small hint of the NYP I am devoting a lot of time to.
I hesitate to show it full on yet, as this is but one of many parts,
and I want it to be a full surprise for the person for
whom I am making it.
Therefore, you have to wait too.
;-)
Have a wonderful weekend!

The camillias look like roses, so pretty. Your art project looks like it is coming along rather nicely. Happy Spring Weekend.
ReplyDeleteLovely colour those camelias are. What do you do with your figs? As for the art work, it is great. Love the one of your grandparents. Have a great weekend. Thanks for your comment on my blog, but remember you only eat a small ammount of these so your not getting that much sugar and I prefer sugar to sweetner as I get bad reactions with it, but that's another story.

You're getting your vitamin D all right! We are just hinting at spring here, it should be warm today but will cool off again next weekend.

Love the work on the quilt, the photo of your grandparents is just magical! I'm sure whoever the recipient of it is will be so thrilled! You do such gorgeous work!
