how's this for a little romance~!? one of my begonias has these clumps of tiny little flowers (about the size of a pencil eraser) on looong stems at this time every year. which leaves me with actual floral valentine confetti for the whole month of february. how cool is that~!

if you would like to see what others are doing with their 15 minute challenge or you're interested in joining in you should visit Kate at Life in Pieces.
btw: i know that the double pink used in my pieced blocks is looking a bit purple/lavendar . . . i'm not exactly sure why i have (so far) been unsuccesful photographing it but i'll keep trying.
recent gifts include:
- having several of my houseplants flowering which makes it slightly easier to wait for spring to get here
- having just enough time in my life to get a few more photos taken
- the availability of clean drinking water. right out of the tap. whenever i feel thirsty.
Hi Libby Q! I love those bunnies!
ReplyDeleteFabric buttons are fun, aren't they?
You are a wonder worker, friend.
More snow today. Hmmmm.
LOVE love love!
I can't believe that begonia! Doesn't it know we are still in winter?! VBG
ReplyDeleteIt sure sounds like you've had a variety of projects to keep you from getting bored. I am loving the buttons!!
I love your photo of the flowers. It is beautiful. I haven't started quilting my Pink Lemonade. Can't wait to see your finished quilt. Hugs
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty post.
ReplyDeleteI adore begonias - very pretty when the flowers are at the paper stage.
Thank you for reminding me to try some pearl cotton in quilting!
Your buttons are amazing!!!
Your pink lemonade is lovely - I too love the backing (we used to have a pet bunny that was litter trained in her crate)
I'll raise my glass to clean water - so may things we have and take for granted.
what beautiful early blossoms on the begonia! I love that soft color.
ReplyDeleteYour quilting looks lovely, but I bet it's slow going through all the seams, but well worth it.
I LOVE that backing fabric too, I love collage fabric and this one is terrific.
great buttons! how many have you made so far and what do you plan to do with them?
Love this post - a feast for the eyes!
ReplyDeleteYes, what were you thinking - that fabric is adorable.
You say it isn't the correct color of pink, but I like it.
Dare I say it - cute as a button!
Just lovely! Your photography is so beautiful!!! And congrats on the 15 minute list...I have kind of curtailed that challenge for awhile, although I did get some creativity done this week...keeps one sane doesn't it? Or is sanity relative???
ReplyDeleteThe begonia is beautiful Libby - stunning photo. You have been busy, love the covered buttons. Lesley x
ReplyDeleteStitching on 6 out of 7 days is an excellant week!
ReplyDeleteI hate the "Why didn't I buy more?" question. No matter what guidelines you try to apply they seem to be wrong by the time you find a use for the fabric.
The fabric with the bunnies is lovely. I really like that style of fabric. Is it a Lecien fabric? Jacky
ReplyDeleteGreat buttons and oh, that pink thread.....yummy!
