HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Hello out there!  I'm still here, no I haven't fallen off the face of the earth! 

I wanted to wish you all a happy day and evening.  I hope you get to spend it with people you love.  I've been just working in my little shop, kinda same as usual here.  It is a most gorgeous day today and I would love to be playing in the dirt outside getting ready for spring.  I am taking Sat. and Mon. (President's Day) off and will attend a composting seminar at the LA County Arboretum this weekend.

I made a succulent heart wreath last weekend at the California Cactus and Succulent Center.  I'm happy with how it turned out.  Now I pray all those little cuttings LIVE!  It was time consuming but fun to do with a bunch of people who enjoy plants like I do.  Measures about 14" x 12".


Today I got a vase of lilies and irises from a secret admirer that was delivered by Fedex.  This is how they arrived, unopened buds.  Now, who could it be?  I really don't know who it could be so it must really be a secret.  I also got a little chocolate, a card and an invite to dinner.


I've only been making these ruffle scarves lately for presents and oh, yeah I made a matching scarf and hat for a friend as a Xmas gift but was in a rush and didn't take a photo of it.  The yarn is Red Heart Sashay.  They are so easy to make, mindless really.  I can still crochet at the end of the day even though I might be tired!

Look there are still strawberries trying to grow right now!


Take care and until next time....thanks for stopping by!
