Cloche

I made this cloche yesterday and I'm pretty pleased at how it turned out.

Silky Yarn

I bought this silky smooth yarn in Mexico City and it's just wonderful. I'm knitting a Downton Abbey inspired hat with it for a friend who lives in Florida which she plans on using when she visits England with her husband.

Aprons

I have been compiling aprons lately. My friend's aunt made me a few with fabric I took with me to Mexico and today I made an apron using some Mary Englebreit fabric that I had originally used to make some valances for Annelise's windows about 10 years ago.

Wisteria Plant

When we moved into our new home 4 years ago, this vine was already in place. Every year it only grew leaves and once in a while it grew a single mound of purple flowers. This year I noticed that it had multiple clusters that resembled a very tight pine cone and almost every week since then I have taken pictures of its development. Take a look!

Lavender

My lavender bushes are quite different from each other. One has so many flowers on it and the other has just a few.
