FLAMINGOS HAVE LANDED AT THE COTTAGE THIS YEAR!

The Flamingos haven't visited this garden before, so thought it was time. The spring flowers and  trees are so pretty!

Jackie and Eli; granddaughter and grt. grandson are still living here but I still enjoy the outside!

Thought the little purple flowered  banner added a nice touch!

Sister Judy and I enjoyed breakfast at Cracker Barrel "Siblings Day" Actually had an overnight too!

I bought us both a pair of these cute little polka birds as a remembrance.

Our little Sunday School Class Palm Sunday.

Our Archie, Mo. Beta Sigma Phi Chapters celebrating Founders Day.

Too many to get in one picture!

Was walking thru Walmart the other day and just had to back up and take this picture! SPRING!

BLUE BIRD OF HAPPINESS


Isn't this cute? This girl makes all kinds of shapes out of old quilt blocks and sells them for charities. There  was a robin, birdhouse, owl, and several others. I really liked them all ! She sprays them with starch so they hold there shape well.

I make a new pillow for my chair in the "Mamma Mia Room" in my garden each spring. I really liked this material. I think it will look good with my other blue things out there.

Great Grandson is back in Day Care now, so I'm really enjoying my quiet mornings!

Tasha is too!

Grand daughter and Great Grandson's plans to move to Utah got put on hold for awhile so we've been creating some. He loves to paint, color, draw and cut.\!

Special friend Rose Marie and I still make quilts for the Baptist Children's Home on Wednesdays at church.

Today Joy; one of the Day Care Teachers brought her class in to see the quilts. Their  letter for the day was "Q" She mentioned quilt as starting with "Q" and they didn't know what a quilt was. They called their bed coverings  blankets or comforters. So she decided this would be a good visual lesson for them.

Made another "Glam Camping" block for my studio wall  # 6. They are so fun to make and look at too!

The current "line-up"

Isn't this Crochet Thread Gorgeous? I plan to use it for decorating Journals, Prayer Flags and etc.

I'm living with my latest painting,"Glorious Spring" for awhile to see if I want to add or change anything before I   put it out there for sale.

Eli likes to try out our different shoes to see which goes with his outfit!  Happy Spring! I'm inviting you again to come visit my other blog too: www.mcreatesdaily.blogspot.com
