i am playing with a new toy today that arrived in the mail, i have been too busy to take any photos yet, but my table is covered with papers, card stock, stamps, punches and all sorts ! i will take some photos and show you next month, that could be as early as tomorrow !!!

around the house

this post is mostly just pictorial !
i have been confined to home basically now for 7 weeks, but not bored or disinterested !
some of the visions and things that have kept me busy and occupied !

there has been many hours spent sewing and reading magazines, gazing at things i like and dreaming, looking at the garden growing and the blooms appearing as spring has taken over the season !

it is friday and a thunder storm is brewing here in my home town, so i picked some of the spring blooms to bring inside to enjoy !

and you can see the roses growing, all the new shoots from the old wood !
