Er zitten heel wat quiltsteekjes in, maar eindelijk is het zover, mijn Posies in the Valley is helemaal af. Het patroon is van Barb Adams en Alma Allen. Ik had er geen patroon van, maar n.a.v. de foto die ik wel had heb ik zelf het patroon gemaakt. Gewoon elk blokje uitknippen van de kopie en daarna steeds vergroten. Zelf noem ik het eenvoudig mijn Blauwe Bloemenquilt, maar als je het uit het Engels vertaalt heet ie "Kleine boeketjes in de vallei". Het was leuk om deze quilt te maken, maar soms werden me die kleine cirkeltjes maken, en later er omheen quilten me wel eens teveel. Het zijn er 230! De randblokken met die mooie bogen er in vond ik het leukst om te maken. De rand is ook gezellig gequilt, dat maakt de quilt helemaal af. Omdat ie niet zo groot is, hangt deze quilt gezellig boven mijn bureautje, met daarnaast de blauwe kipjes quilt. Hoeft nu dus maar even omhoog te kijken om er van te kunnen genieten 😊 Na alle regen die gevallen is (was hard nodig voor de natuur)... ....kwam de zon weer tevoorschijn.... Overal bloeien de verschillende grassen... De weegbree... Weet niet hoe dit aparte diertje heet, maar zo dichtbij gefotografeerd is het zo mooi op die betonnen muur van mijn schuur. Even een update: kreeg net een berichtje van vriend Frans: Deze vlieg is het vrouwtje van de schorpioenvlieg. De mannetjes lijken op mini-schorpioentjes met vleugels. De rijkbloeiende Erigeron bloeit weer volop in mijn voortuin. En zaait zich overal spontaan uit. De Clematis staat weer prachtig in bloei, net als het Vingerhoedskruid. Dit weekend wordt het gelukkig weer buitenzitweer, dus we gaan er van genieten. Wens jullie een heerlijk zonnige week toe! Liefs, Floor

Schools are cancelled again today. Just when it looked like the snow was finally leaving and the air was feeling warmer we get more snow. And lots of it! That means my daughter Kristi will have a 1.5 days of school this week. We are off to a hockey tournament this week end in Halifax NS. so she will have to miss school. Her Bantam AA team competed last week end in the provincial championships and won all their games in both round robin play and crossovers to earn the gold medal and "Island" champs title. This is a picture of my other daughter, Riley and her friend Alisha. Riley is on the right. They are the only two girls on their Atom AA boys team. They finished up their provincal week end with a silver medal. Thanks to some poor refereeing. I picked up this cross stitch on the week end. It was getting framed. Yes, another Blackbird design. It is called Birds of a Feather. I absolutely love how it turned out. I love how primitive it is. Other than that I have been working on nothing.
This is a limited offer of a box of 24 individually, luxury gift boxed porcelain vases. The boxes are beautifully printed with a gold logo and original artwork that matches the design on the vase. The fine white porcelain vase has been engraved with lily of the valley and butterfly cut outs. These vases were designed to take posies of flowers which makes them perfect for the center table at weddings, parties and event lunches. They also make a fabulous gift and look great at home. Florists and wedding planners out there, you may be interested in stocking these as I am offering them at better than trade price. If you would like multiple boxes let me know. The original retail selling price was £18 but we now need to make space for new work.

Lily of the Valley (Convallaria majalis) is well known for its delicate bells and beautiful sweet scent, and was the late Queen Elizabeth II's favorite flower. Other names include Conval lily, Lady's tears, May bells, Muguet, Our Lady's tears and Mary's tears. This fast-growing perennial provides excellent ground cover in gardens and has lush, green leaves. It quickly spreads to form a fragrant carpet of white or pink-nodding bell-shaped flowers in spring. Lily of the Valley makes a wonderful cut flower for scented, springtime posies, and is a plant traditionally featured in spring wedding bouquets. Lily of the Valley plants have delicate, lightly arched stems can bear up to 12 bell-shaped flowers that are blooming in May and June – each bell comprises six petals, and can grow up to approximately 8 inches or 20cm in height. We offer five (5) plants in your single order! PLANTS FLOWER IN MAY & JUNE so are no longer currently flowering.
