Blooming in July 2008

Some of the plants I've managed to keep alive this year.

Pansies that I planted about 4 months ago. This is the longest I've kept pansies alive in our hot weather.


Coleus 'Fishnet Stockings"


Echinacea 'Bright Star'


Echinacea 'Magnus'


Echinacea 'Magnus'


Geranium of unknown variety.

Handmade scarf for Ruth's Birthday.

I rushed this project and it didn't turn out as well as I would have liked. I hope she likes it anyways. I started it the afternoon before her birthday and worked on it until her party. I should stop doing things at the last minute . . . maybe one day. Hand sewn scarf with a flannel back. The ends are hand embroidered with some beads as embellishments for the stamens. It's my very lazy attempt at cherry blossoms.
