How awesome is that for a fabric nut? I ordered some Essex linen and some more Timeless Treasures white on black stripe and when the order arrived, I noticed this sticker! I scored about half a yard of extra linen for free!! Happy dance!
The flowers are blooming everywhere in the yard but with the flowers come the weeds. I did a lot of weeding last weekend. Husband took a picture of me. That is me stuffed into the plant matter with a wheel barrow beside me. I was on a search and destroy mission with buttercups as my target. I am sure that there must be a use for buttercups. The chickens won't eat them. Nope. I was telling my buddy Cynthia that there must be a use for them. Somebody out there needs to find a way to make quilt batting out of buttercup fiber. I have a ready supply!
Speaking of Cynthia.. 2 things... she has a block in the most recent Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks. There it is. Block #834. I got her to sign the page. She is so famous. Cynthia is also the brilliant publisher of an online magazine called Made In Magazine. Check it out. It is quite amazing.
And look where we have flowers growing... in the crook of this apple tree. Nature finds a way. Nice little Jurassic Park quote to finish off Random Thursday. Linking up with Cindy and the Randomeers!
It is finally spring weather her in Wisconsin with the trees budding and starting to leaf out, but with warm weather brings weeds. I too will be on my hands and knees pulling out those littler buggers. How fun that the flower found a home in the opening of a tree trunk.
ReplyDeleteAw you so rock! Thank you so much for the shout out!! I love the little flower in the tree, so adorable! And yes, buttercups must die, DIE! lol! They're cute but dangit, invasive little buggers!
ReplyDeleteUm, so that's what that sticker means. I had one, but didn't get it. LOL
ReplyDeleteoh the little tree flower... so cute. Weeding is back breaking! We haven't started that yet. This weekend though, flowers and me!

Weeding may be hard work, but don't you feel virtuous when you stand back and look at all you have achieved. I do, then moan about the sore back. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI got one of those stickers once too and I really did feel like I won the lottery :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to get one of those stickers--jackpot indeed! Cynthia's block is so cute. She IS very talented. And that flower growing in the tree is so sweet. Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful garden you have there. Are you on summer holidays yet? I hope it's nice and warm for you.
