Today... I was lucky to enjoy my best friend's company for tea! My sweet husband is home on vacation so it was tea for two! Yes he has a name, it's Mike. I think he might be tired of being called my sweet husband :-) (click photos to enlarge) So nothing fancy... just the little table in the front parlor again. I kept the fru fru to a minimum and lured him in with sweets! These Teacups were my Grandmothers. Part of a complete china set. The flowers look like wild flowers to me, and since we just took a little trip to see the wildflowers in the Cascades, I thought they were an appropriate choice. Here is the bottom... Fine Bohemian China Czechoslovakia Yummy... The bait... Raspberry Kolacky cookies. (Czechoslovakian cookies) I bought at the bakery... it's vacation! Some flowers... I made a little bouquet with one of my favorite roses, April in Paris. They are not really happy about our bad weather... but they smell fantastic! and.. More rain today... so more garden centers. Where I found this gorgeous Tree Peony. She has no name, and her blooms are a little past their peak, But.. I got a 30% discount! And she makes my heart pitter patter, and thats what is all about :-) Today I am joining a bunch of great groups! Marty at A Stroll Thru Life For Tabletop Tuesday Martha at Martha's Favorites for Martha's Favorites Lady Katherine's Tea Parlor for Tea Time Tuesday Sandi at Sandi's Rose Chintz Cottage for Tea Time Tuesday Lot's of great places to visit!

♥ With Summer in the UK seeming to have decided to hang fire for a bit, I took matters in to my own hands the other day and set about creating my own little piece of Summer for my kitchen shelf. Seaside Cottages, Cornishware china and a garland of Summer Daisies were definitely what was called for..... and here's what I did ! After a little dig around in my yarny odds and ends drawer I found some small amounts of cotton, DK I think, in white and cornflower blue and a length of some thin blue ribbon. I used a 3mm hook. You'll also need a small amount of stuffing for the crochet beads. The pattern for both the daisies and the crochet beads will work in any weight yarn, just remember to use the correct hook size to match. To make the Daisies: Begin by making a Magic Ring, and work 8 DC into the ring. Pull the ring closed and SL ST to join. Now work 2 DC in to each stitch. 16sts. SL ST to join and finish off. Sew in the ends. Join in your second colour and chain 7. Beginning in the 2nd chain from the hook work 6 DC, bringing you back to the beginning of the chain. SL ST in to the next stitch. Now chain 7 again and work the petal as before. Continue making petals around the circle. I found 14 petals to be about the right amount, leaving you a stitch to SL ST back into to. Finish off. Sew in your ends. I decided to block and stiffen my daisies, which I did by spraying them with Fablon Ironing Starch Spray and then pinning them out onto a board to dry for a couple of days. To make the Crochet Beads: ( for a full picture tutorial clink here Crochet Beads ) Round 1:Make a Magic Ring and work 6 DC into the ring. Pull the ring closed and SL ST to join. Round 2: Work 2 DC in to each stitch 12 sts. Round 3: Working in a continuous round, DC 36. Round 4: Decrease 6 times, 6sts. Finish off leaving a long tail. Stuff the bead and using a needle and the tail of yarn, run a gathering thread around the bottom of the bead and pull closed. Finish off and sew in the ends. To join the garland together I alternated the flowers and the beads and I used a large needle to thread the ribbon along the back of each daisy and through the centre of each bead. Once finished it was just a matter of hanging it in place, and whilst it may not be quite up there with a holiday in the Caribbean, it's more than Summery enough for me ! ♥ My little Seaside Cottages are made by the lovely Loraine of Shabby Daisies - Seaside Creations. She sells through Etsy or her facebook Page. ♥

German Chamomile is among the most famous of medicinal herbs in the world. This sweet aromatic annual has delicate finely cut leaves and lovely small daisy like flowers. In the aster family, slightly bitter Chamomile has been employed as a digestive and nervous system tonic for thousands of years. Chamomile’s earliest record of use goes back to ancient times. According to the Eber’s Papyrus, dated 1550 BC, ancient Egyptians used the herb to honor the gods, embalm the dead and cure the sick. Throughout Europe, medicinal use of Chamomile has been recorded since the 1st century. Today, Chamomile remains a top-selling herb in the tea marketplace and is indicated for a variety of health challenges ranging from irritation, insomnia, gas, acidity, colic, bloating, pain relief among other things. Chamomile is anti spasmodic, anti inflammatory and helpful as an external wash for cuts, wounds and swollen eyes. Chamomile is especially indicated for children due to its gentle effects and calming nervine gifts.
A field of flowers like no other, Cotton Daisies has all the charm! The key for visual success is the low volume flower petals. With a slight contrast between the 2 fabrics, the petals blend but one can still see a modest difference. Too much contrast and the petals start to pinwheel. Time saving techniques to create 8 half square triangles using only 2 fabric squares and corner triangles make this quilt come together quickly. And what a great opportunity to play around with machine quilting within the open spaces! Cotton Daisies comes in 2 sizes, 45” x 45” and 45” x 63”. All piecing uses traditional rotary cutting method.
You can enjoy the efficient and bright lighting with a daisy design that will last much longer than a flower would.
Whether you prefer to call it a wildflower or a weed, this bright and joyful flower is actually very unique. A daisy closes its head at night and opens in the morning. How's that for special?

Not quite sure why, with the Spring into Summer-long heatwave and drought, but 2021 was an AMAZING year for Mule’s Ears (Wyethia)! This somewhat whimsical native sunflower is one of my favorite mid-summer beauties. Their bright yellow, cheerful flowers helped get me to the other side of the long dry season. Done during Day 8, Inktober 2021, this print did not follow the prompt. Whether I'm following the prompts or not, I'm always alternating with Birds and Flowers each day of the Inktober Challenge. Each Lino Mini print is made with the same intention and care as my larger, more elaborate fine art. Cherish and enjoy in health & happiness! A donation will be made to California Native Plant Society (statewide or chapter) in the first year of printing with each studio sale.

To "deadhead" means to remove old flower blooms. This helps tidy up plants and makes room for second blooms. Many of our favorite plants bloom repeatedly including petunias, daisies, echinacea, and more. Snip off the old flowers during the growing season as desired but be sure to leave some seed heads in fall for winter wildlife including birds.

Hiyah! I have another rolled flower cut file for you today, I promised some more of them :). I went with a daisy style this time and kept the outer petals larger than the ones in the middle but it&…
Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum x superbum) is an old-fashioned favorite for perennial borders and cut flowers. An incredibly versatile plant as it flowers in late spring/early summer in white or pale yellow and therefore complements many other colors and cottage favorites in the garden. Shasta Daisies are spectacular in a meadow, wildflower garden, or when cut for bouquets. Can also be grown in containers. Sow the seeds into containers outdoors or directly into the ground in after the last frost. The seeds need light to germinate and should be gently pressed into the soil but not covered. The seeds will germinate within 14 to 21 days if kept at 70°F in a bright spot. Garden Uses: Perennial borders, cottage gardens, meadows, wild gardens and herb gardens. Also effective in containers. Interesting addition to butterfly gardens. Advantages Bee Friendly, Attracts Butterflies, Deer Resistant, Rabbit Resistant, Easy To Grow, Low Maintenance, Long Bloom Time, Naturalizes, Cut Flowers, Mass Plantings Blooms: Spring-Summer Light: Full sun to part shade Soil Type: Loamy Soil, Sandy Soil, Clay Soil Soil moisture: Average, Well-drained Height: 16-30" Spacing: 12-15” USDA Zone: 4a-9b
