Thanksgiving # 3

Yesterday I bought these pansies.

I am thankful to live in a place where I can plant pansies now and have flowers to pick all winter.

 I can enjoy them here.

I am going to plant them tomorrow afternoon.  If you'd like to come and help me I'll make us a nice hot cup of tea and there might just be some homemade cookies to munch on!

Pansies

I just love pansies! Right outside my studio door I have several planters filled with pansies and hostas. Every morning I deadhead the wilted blooms and pick fresh pansies for my little vases on my kitchen windowsill.

This flower block is the perfect vase for pansies. The delft vases are great for pansies too.

I also have a planter full of these pretty violas. I just love the thin black stripes on each one. It looks like someone has painted each one! Pansies are so cheerful. Hope my pansies cheer your day!

First Day Of Spring

Happy first day of spring! Finally spring is officially here. For those of you who are still experiencing signs of winter, have faith, spring is on it's way!
If you live near Charlotte NC you might like to come to the Charlotte Quilters Guild Quilt Show. It's on Sat & Sun at The Fletcher School on Sardis Road. If you come, stop by and say hello. I'll be at the table selling raffle tickets for a sewing machine.
Have a happy weekend.
