I appreciate the time and thought that goes into selecting, assembling and posting the photos and adding your narrative.<br /><br />I rested at home most of Saturday until my son's basketball game in the evening. On Sunday afternoon I set up my paints and painted a cheery bouquet while listening to worship songs. <br /><br />The weekend was satisfying. I am due back at work in the morning. Not quite ready, but I do enjoy it once I get there.<br /><br />Peace to you. --Alexine--<br />Hartslovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071061000392088617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-71440518071454295072019-03-04T05:33:12.438+10:002019-03-04T05:33:12.438+10:00Lovely to see your birds feeding happily together ...Lovely to see your birds feeding happily together and what a beautiful flower. Such a shame about your mug - what is it about mugs! I love my collection all of which are for different drinks or times of the day and I would be so upset to loose any of them. I am glad that you have been able to repurpose yours, it looks so sweet in the garden. Well done on completing the blanket, it looks gorgeous. I hope Rafaella has a lovely birthday - Philip shares the same birthday but as we just arrived back from Spain this afternoon we shall be too busy/tired to do much celebrating. Will try to make it special though. xxLinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406333686298786963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-8409733473303235862019-03-03T01:17:06.053+10:002019-03-03T01:17:06.053+10:00That blanket is so pretty!

Happened to me too. No cup ever filled the space. I love your garden ideas. Our garden is just wakening after winter. We have a few daffodils and snowdrops. It will be a couple of months before we have much colour unless I get some from the garden centre to add to the pots. Your stitcheries are looking wonderful. Cant wait to see the whole thing. My eyes get tired though with tiny stitches, so I am inclined to enjoy the machine piecing more. Happy birthday to Rafaella. Enjoy all the celebrations. I love her blanket.

We could have a treasure hunt.<br /><br />It must be lovely watching those birds every morning. We have two young cats now so the little birds are giving us a wide berth thankfully but I miss them. I get piles of dead leaves dragged into the house from one of them but it's better than birds & mice.<br /><br />Your garden looks like it's recovering well which is great. I love your blanket & it's neat border. Rafaella will love it. As you say it's hard to believe it's a year since she arrived. Enjoy your time together.

I remember after the 2011 floods everyone was nervous for quite a long time when it began to rain. Your garden is looking good and the little birthday blanket is absolutely gorgeous. That year has gone quickly I must say.

I've just trawled through almost 800 CK mug listings on UK Ebay to try and find a replacement. 2 listings had a mug with the same colour/style rim around the top but the flowers were slightly different. The handle (from what I could see of yours) looked the same. I've saved your photo (to remind me) so whenever I'm out and about visiting charity shops I'll look out for a duplicate haha. Good to see your garden is getting back to normal after all the flooding you had recently :)Lesley Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12391675183992422658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-50582118084931678552019-03-02T03:32:05.172+10:002019-03-02T03:32:05.172+10:00Don't you just love the sweet pea colors?

I am planning to make a baby blanket with it for a new baby coming soon. It just crochets up fast, looks nice.<br />Broke your favorite cup, eh? Well you made a nice use for it. Still get to enjoy it, yet, in a different way. You are so creative, Jenny. It's good to see you getting back to some of the things you love to do. With that settling down of the weather finally. I LOVE your birds in the feeder. We do not have those kind of birds like that in our feeders. So many differences from where you live and I live. It is always interesting to see or read what you have to say.
