I hope your weekend is going well so far! It’s been quiet on the blogfront which I, in an odd way, find a little thrilling because it must mean people are busy with summer plans.  I just wanted to pop in and say hello and share some flowers that are around our little house.  Nothing fancy but that’s how I like my bouquets for the most part.

I actually have a couple of sewing projects to show you (finally!) and corresponding modifications to go over.   But I’ve had a sudden and rather unwelcome recurrence of tendonitis in my left elbow which means I really should remove my person from the computer RIGHT NOW.   So I’m off to do some more sewing–at least I can do that!

Yellow flowers for Monday.

Spring has a way of shining a different, a new light on things, doesn’t it?   Sometimes quite literally: we’ve gotten a fair amount of late season rain and clouds which explains the greyish-white light in these pictures.  (I’ve been obsessed with cut flowers the past month or so.  I picked up these irises the other day–for a dear friend who just had a baby–and arranged them in my hand and tied them up simply, something I learned to do from Chelsea of Frolic!)

For the first time I’m tending to some strawberry seedlings in the tiniest terra cotta pot, nestled by the kitchen window over the sink.

So small!

More cut flowers.  I sketched these and will probably color in the drawing this week.  I love Gerber daisies (and regular ones too).

Some Shop notes:

*My printer has decided to quit on me, JUST when I decided to upgrade my paper.  Eek.  Perhaps it was merely boycotting the change.  Anyhow, instead of rushing off to buy a new one I’m going to get my prints done elsewhere for now.  That means I’m still offering prints in le shop, but my usual 1-3 day turn around time will be more like a week or two.

*If you have tried to contact me via the “Handy Contact Form” and have not heard back it’s because the email address given was not valid and I’ve been unable to respond.  This has happened a number of times and I’ve been meaning to mention it here.  Please try again if you still have inquiries.   (Unless, of course, you are trying to spam me–in which case, consider yourself  ignored!)
