flowers, fairies, and plbt

So I embroidered the fairy on this skirt for K and she had to wear it today. Guess what, the skirt is too big and the tie is fake (no I didn't make the skirt, I bought it). No time to take it in so off she goes to school - hope it doesn't fall off.

The butterfly lace is to cover some weak places in the fabric. I love how the fairy turned out but the skirt - ugh!!

But K looks cute.



This morning it was overcast and we had early morning showers. I had been working on the photos from a shoot since 5:30 so some relaxation was in order so what else would I do but take pictures of my flowers.

The poppies have started blooming.






Twins


Doesn't the knot in the fence look like a wolf's eye gazing at you?


Some of the fancier iris and the Dutch iris are still blooming.



Columbine - first time I've had it in my yard.





The wild thing about columbine is that you can get two different colored flowers on the same plant!!








I love black and white!!

Pink yarrow - if you don't like invasive, don't plant it.

If you like impossible to kill, pink, and carefree - plant it.




I am so plbt - you would think I had a memory disorder rather than anger issues and depression struggles. I can't believe how often I forget my Zoloft. If you've had Zoloft you know the half-life is short so crashes are hard and fast.

Plbt.

I know I had something else to share but I guess I will do it later today when I post my last tin can project (I was going to be done with projects for the Iron Crafter but I decided I really wanted to do these).

sigh - off to get the girls from school...i hope they are happier than yesterday.

I am sharing this at:

  3. The skirt looks lovely, love the fairy and the butterflies. Your flowers/photos are beautiful. I've been photographing flowers too. I have loads of what you call Columbine - we call them Grannies' bonnets! I love them, mine are mostly done flowering now tho, they flowered early this year. My heart goes out to you with the other stuff, I know those feelings. We have a saying here in england - chin up old chap!

    The flower photos are stunning. I liked the photo of the poppy that was from the side/the one just above the twins. It has a luminous quality. I also like the black and whites too.
