| I just finished this little sunny sunflower to give as a door prize at the mid atlantic seed swap in February.
I had a double nose biopsy yesterday (not a big deal). Should have the results next week.
Working on a Circle of Angels doily and waiting for the rain to begin today.

| How talented you are - what a lovely sunflower.
Thinking about retiring in a couple of years and then I will be able to make a dent on all the craft-related stuff I have stashed away in storage.
Hope the results are good news. |

| Steve just made me a bit of a craft chest for some of the materials.
So what crafts have you been "putting off" for retirement?
Thanks for the compliments on the sunny, it was a quick project. I am working on 3 breast cancer doilies that I sold last week and hope to finish this weekend and also just finished one of the Circle of Angels for a DG member that must go in the mail today or Monday. |

| I just finished this little angel trimmed in gold metallic holding a bouquet with a chair of pearl beads and bold breast cancer ribbon charm. I am not sure I really like the gold trim on this small one as she only stands 8" tall?

| Thanks BB. I had a wonderful day yesterday. My neighbor and I spent a delightful afternoon at the Tranquila Tea House in Waynesboro. Being a tom boy growing up I never experienced a "real tea party". This was quite elegant and quite a treat.
Lyn had a gift card and was kind enough to treat us to the full sandwich platters, tea, scones and dessert.

| I love going out to tea. We do have one teahouse (not the Chinese dim sum tea places, but the High Tea kind) in Sacramento, and I like searching out ones to go to when I am out of town. They are a lot of fun, and I like the portions of the goodies that they serve - small enough to try a little bit of this and that.
Nice Angels too!
BB - how is your winter coming along? Hopefully it is not too harsh.

| I am looking forward to going again Dianne, it was very relaxing and I purchased 2 lovely tea sets for my granddaughters at a very reasonable price.
Rained all day yesterday so I worked on the Barbie gown. Today they are calling for more sunshine and the 50's again so will enjoy that.
I went to the Mid Atlantic seed swap the other weekend and Ric brought a lot of black pussy willow to share so I stuck some of that in the ground on Monday with fingers crossed . I killed the one established one that I had and then last year lost my 25 year old pink flowering almond bush so I put the willow where that bush had been, Hope it fills in. |

| Over at Cubits, they have a seed swap at Ella's garden. This is the second year that i took part in their "piggy" seed swap. I got over 200 seeds - both flowers and vegetables. Now I just have to start planting and trying to get them seeds to turn into seedlings. I only planted about 25% of the seeds i got last year, and maybe only about 10 kinds of plants to actually flower. i am hoping to have a better record this year. The black pussy willow sounds like a neat plant. I have such a small yard that I don't have room for trees.
Did you get a lot of seeds at the seed swap? |

| Yes! We meet at the Chef Lin buffet in Frederick. There were about 20 of us and had a great day of lunch, swapping seeds and door prizes.
I actually don't spend a lot of time at Cubits or ATP these days, just taking too much of my time trying to start up a new website. I worked really hard in the early days spending hours and hours here at DG when it was just beginning and I just don't know about spending so much time doing it again on another site. It was okay when I first started at cubits and ATP, but for all the work I have done on those sites I haven't really gotten much return so I returned here to DG for most of my plant needs. |

| Had a nice fire going on the patio last evening. Nobody stopped by to enjoy it? Has everyone gone on vacation?

Hope your gardening is going well. I am still trying to keep the weeds under control

| Hot here in the day, but still cool at night. This is our evening shot a bit ago.
Finally got a cool Deere with a wagon so "weeds be gone"!

| Still in the heat wave 10+ days of 99 or 100 degrees. Hoping for a break in the high 80s today!
Been making my arrangements and have put 6+ loaves of zucchini bread in the freezer.

| Just made this for Breast Cancer Awareness month. I made the Survivor's Grow marker using polymer after my lesson from Ridesredmule! The flowers are all from my gardens end, dahlia, grasses and zinnia. What's everyone been up to?
I have a lot to clean up in the gardens and soon as the frost hits will be digging dahlia tubers. I already pulled up my banana and a few elephant ears and the bulbs are huge. Can't imagine what this big one is gonna be like to dig, wanna come over and help?

| We were in the Panama Canal and it was a fabulous holiday. Just got back today and am exhausted, but glad to be home. I got a beautiful chandelier for the Burning Pickle, what do you think?
