i'm almost done with the quilt, the top is done, what you think?
look at the perfect points!
i finished it in about a nite, added the borders this morning, my first time doing mitered borders...and they came out perfect...anyone need help...i'll do a tut (if i can figure out how) just ask.
anyway, i think i like it, i'm a perfectionist, so i can always find something i could do better next time, for this, i would have liked to see darker colours, but, i wanted to use what i had, and this is the best pink and green color combo i had, fit for a baby that is. i'm hoping it will come to live after its quilted.
on to other news, i took the lil ones outside today to paint...we had a blast. i took 248 pics. really. i am discovering i have two new obsessions. taking pics, and roses. i have tons of rose bushes around my house (i wonder how many? i'll count and do a post of them...pics, numbers and all.). i love roses. i think they are my favorite flower. them, and freesia. but i love me some roses. and with all the ones in bloom around this house...i can't stop looking at them, at all angles, and all stages, buds, blooms, dried. i am starting to obsess. my god, they are beautiful...beauty unfolding...so i will share some of the pics here, and i think i'll work on making a few photo albums for anyone interrested. with the new change in season, i'm yearning to do some gardening...i've been in my garden working about four times this month so far, that's alot for me...and each time finding a peace...so i talked to easy e about us gardening together this summer. so we'll see.
also, i've been thinking with quilt eyes behind the lens, taking pictures, looking for compositions behind the lens...i will share those too.
ooh, and yesterday, the lil lady of the house busted her lip, ironically she didn't cry. i don't quite know how she did it, i think she hit herself in the lip with an arm band from the dancing princess lets dance doll (this one ). at least that's what she said. how she did that? don't know she was lying down. but anyway, she looked so cute with that fat lip...so i took pics. it went down, but she still has a blood spot there.
so here is a scroll show, i'm'a leave the discriptions out...pure eye candy...they are all from today, or the busted lip from yesterday.
enjoy!
my gosh...it was so hard to not include more. i have tons more great rose pics, and more abstract compositions...i'm afraid i'll picture bore, so i'll save for the photo album or another post. i love some of these photos so much, i don't know what to do with them. i wanna do a rose study...study the rose for a year or so, maybe more...see what i can create...
i'm in love!
roses and wood.
anyway...can you feel summer coming...i can after today...i can't wait to buy tons of summer toys for the kids, water table, crochet, lawn bowling, sprinklers to run through...ooh i can't wait!
i'm in love!
seeing the world through rose colored lenses...
