When I was last up in Corvallis (in May I think), I entered a drawing at Friendship Crossing for a basket of goodies. Ann notified me shortly thereafter that I had won! Joy! I asked her if she'd hold on to it for me until my next trip north. She graciously agreed, and on Saturday I was able to get my basket of treasures.
The treasures included a nice selection of DMC floss, 28 count fabric, needles, and a hoop, scissors, three charts, a kit, and other odds and ends. Such fun and I am so pleased to have won.
On the gardening front, I planted my begonias in a set of funky pots I got a while ago from Michael's. I think the leaves provide a sharp contrast with the green pots.
And yes, I had to purchase two more coleus. These are large (full-sized)
plants and they just glow!
This begonia also reached out and grabbed me - more for the elongated leaves than the small pink blossoms.
One more fuchsia - it's a beauty - and with the cool summer weather we've had thus far, the fuchsias are thriving!
Hope you are off to a good week.
Thanks for all the compliments on the photos of the house, and plants, and stitching projects. It is a thrill to have followers (25 now) who not only read my blog, but are kind enough to take the time to write thoughtful messages.
The bunny turned out great! I love the picture if the sunflowers.
