A Little Bitta Sole

I recently purchased
my summer sandals and was admiring the various sole styles. Have younoticed the bottoms of your shoes lately?
I'm particularly smitten with
my Bjorns (the sole, that is) and need to make a stamp with them before they get too worn!
And check out that pink on my new Merrells! How
cool is that? C hates them, but of course,
I am in love with them!

My blog buddy Elizabeth sent me some truly heirloom Primroses last week. It's about time that I post a pic of them, so that she can see how her little babies are doing!

I also wanted to show you my newest irises! I love these guys, and am really excited to see that there are so many buds this year!

PEACE!!!

Such a silly blog title, huh? LOL Well, you know, when I'm at the gym working out very strange things run through my mind......and '2dye4u' just came rambling through my semi comatose state this morning!

Carol asked that I show you the Shibori scarf (from my last post) after I unwrapped it. I must admit that the anticipation was so much greater than the actual unveiling. I didn't like it! All of that tying, wrapping, etc and I didn't like it! So disappointing! Here it is, lusciously puddled on my sewing table:

I love how silk puddles, don't you? Well, I was not about to be undone by this experience so I mixed up some discharge paste and went to work. Here's how it now looks:

Here is another scarf that I delivered to the art center this morning:

I really, really love this one!



And here is the third:

I'm working on a few other things right now...mainly trying to finish 'Reflecting on Grace'....and I'll share pics soon (I hope!).

My Mom turns 92 (gasp!) on May 11th, the day after Mother's Day. We are putting together a little dinner party for her, so that is pretty much my main focus right now. At my request, my friend Bobbie is going to whip up a Boston Cream Pie for the occassion. YUMMMM, YUMMMM, YUMMMMMM! Bobbie's Mom and my Mom have become fast friends and we celebrate both Christmas and Mother's Day with them.

We are having lots and lots of glorious rain. Many of my gardening friends aren't too happy about it, as their newly planted veggies are getting too much water and not enough sun. I am loving it, and will never complain........perhaps I belong in the Pacific Northwest or lived there in a past life?

Here are a few garden pics

I cut back all of my Rhodies last year after they bloomed, so
their few flowers are really cherished this Spring!

PEACE!!!
