I have been busy.

I haven't blogged  for awhile,

 Sorry - I had to take time out to clean my house and studio.

My daughter in law sent the info on my house to a Realtor.

We have had 12 years living at the special place.

But we need to downsize eventually.

Somehow squeeze 4000 sq feet into 1700 sq ft.

With a bonus room for a studio.

It is getting harder to keep up a large home and larger yard.

So if it happens it was meant to be.

If not we will live here in paradise longer.

 I dyed some background for my new project

but I ended up using my first choice.

The colors are the palette for my new quilt.

I am going to try for the Quilt Nationals.

If I doesn't work I will have 2 pieces for my show next May.

SO it is a win win.

I get a head start on May's show.

Or I hit the jackpot.

May as well aim high.

Summer brings a show of color.

Flowers keep blooming all season.

In March the ground is bare and brown.

Than it warms up and a riot of blooms

 pop out of the ground and delight us all summer.

I just love the magenta petunias with an edge of lime green.

They are my favorite new annual.

Have to have a few annuals for color.

Well a full day in the studio today.

A clean studio at that.
