It may be happening in other parts of the world
.... but here in Florida we are already
hitting record temperatures ....
oh Yeah!
Thank goodness there was a trip North
in the plans and I could enjoy that
beautiful bit of season ...
which is my favorite!
This weeks blog features an older design
of mine ... but I still absolutely love it.
All that life springing forth took me back.
It's called ...

In the past I've thoroughly enjoyed gardening. Anything I plant here has to make it on it's own ... hence lots and lots of succulents! |

There is a lot going on in this piece. I used beautiful silk ribbon, hand painted silks, and some crazy fuzzy stuff too. |

Mountains Majesty! My granddaughter loves to ask you what your favorite color is. Her Mama told her before I arrived ... "when you ask Mimi, she's going to tell you she loves all colors". So true, although the new green of spring really touches my heart. |

My Little Flower Child ... this one has my heart in a tighter grip than she has on those dandelions! |
