Look What Happened When I wasn't Looking

Spring has to be on it's way, as the proof is in my garden:
grapefruits a plenty, peach tree ready to bloom, camelia poking her head out, daffodils in full bloom and what are those big purple flowers down below? Clamentis with some shadows and brights being added...painstakingly slowly...but surely...

And I went to Joanne's with this swatch of fabric colors to match and buy threads for when I get to that part of this project. A ways off yet, but there was a fifty percent President's Day Sale I could not pass up. Got the thread holder too!
