Accessorize with flowers

Here’s a bit of a triple flower threat.  I picked these glasses mostly because of the flowers on the sides.  The earrings were a gift from my wonderful husband for my birthday.  They actually have real flowers in them.  I also have a necklace to match.  The headband was made with this pattern I found.

snacking like a college kid all night long
chili lime plantains- fiesta in your [...]

When I came back from my trip to Phoenix I found a blooming rose bush- didn’t even know I had a rose bush.  She is mixed in an enormous hedge at the side of the yard.

I also planted a couple of moonflower plants today that I had growing in a pot.  The moonflower is a [...]

Another sewing project

I made this bag for my cousin that I just visited in Phoenix.  I thought it turned out pretty cute.  It was a rather simple project and the size is prefect.  I did add a little length to the straps so that it would be long enough to wear over the shoulder.

This can be either a wonderful treasure or an enormous annoyance, depending on how we [...]
