More from the garden

One of the reasons I love summer is the garden and sharing it with friends.  So, here are just two of the daylilies that are blooming right now.  Hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I do!

When I'm not working in the garden,  I'm beading.  I've come to realize that beading is mostly what I do now.  If I use fiber or fabric at all, beads are involved with it.  So, what I'm working on when it's too hot to be outside is this...

It's another free form necklace.   I'll tell you more about it when it's completed.  But, I love working with these colors.  They're so summery and fun.  I keep thinking of melons! 

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful summer day and that you take time to enjoy it.

Where have I been?

I've not been around the blog or the studio much the last few weeks.  Part of the reason is petty things that life throws at you.  But, most of the reason is this...

the roses...

and these...

the fushias and mopheads...

the lollipop lilies...

and the clematis...

And so much more.   It's garden time for me, and this year Mother Nature has blessed us with an abundance of beauty.  Certainly, she's making up for 70 inches of snow! 

But, I've not abandon the studio entirely.  I'm playing with kumihimo, with beads (of course).  The results should be ready for showtime soon!  But, in the meantime, it's back to the garden!

Make sure you take time to stop and smell the roses!  Thanks for visiting.
