Tomatoes and Flowers...


First off, on this beautiful Memorial Day, I would like to thank all of the Men and Women who have given, and those who still do give, their time, energy and lives to keep us - as a country and a people - safe and FREE! May God bless them.

I love the way my tomatoes are growing. It seems like every day I go out to look at them, they have grown a few inches taller. The two plants pictured below have so many fruit on them (the other two plants have a little longer to go before producing). I can't wait to eat them...


Cherry Tomatoes 
 
Grape Tomatoes 


I am also amazed at how many flowers I have growing on my hydrangea bush. The colors are so beautiful...

Another New Project...

So, this is something new for me. Crocheting this tightly hurts your hands after a while...

You'll see in the last picture that I have used a small coated paper clip as my stitch marker. I saw this at another blog and it really works out pretty good.

Crocheted Flower...

I have had a couple of very busy weeks. With end of the year awards ceremonies, sports banquets, my sons high school finals and my daughter graduating from the 8th grade, it's been "Go, go, go..." But, I am so proud of both of them. And, I just know our summer will be full of fun (I am looking forward to it).

I have something to share with you... 

I saw this flower pattern at The Yvestown Blog and fell in love with it. It's super easy to make. You should try it.

Edited to add: Here is a new link to the flower pattern (thank you ThreeTwentyThree Creations)

I Finished My Bag...

I love the way my crocheted bag turned out. All of my yarn fit inside so nicely.

Happy :o)
