Cockscomb

This flower was growing in my back yard without permission! Every year we dig up a new section and I move flowers around then add something new.  Well, last year I did this and found some seeds in my pantry so I thougth, what the heck and threw them in a spot.  This is what came up.  I can trace the seeds to two of my friend who gave them to me who knows how many years ago.  You know pantry, shove stuff in there, waay back in there and find waay later. So I cut it couple weeks ago and have been transporting to and from work like a child so that I keep an eye on the seeds that fall off and pass on to other  co-workers and have a "grow off" next year.  Everyone wants to feel it  and then come up with new name or place it should be growing.  I love it! I thought you might too. There were a few smaller ones trying to grow next to this one so my friend and I dug them up and planted them in a pot to see what would happen.  I'll keep you posted.

Pretty Flowers


When ever these flowers bloom I now it is the end of summer.  When summer ends I feel excited as to I know I will be ready to sew again and knock off a few quilts along with coming up a home made gift that all my friend will give me that look like ,"Are you kidding me?" Oh well, sometimes that is just the way it goes

Pretty Flowers

When ever these flowers bloom I know it is the end of summer.  This is good and bad. I know that I  have two massive T-shirt quilts that I need to finish before Christmas.  I also have one more to finish for a high school graduate.  When ever I get wiggy about this I just start to knock it off a little bit every week.  Once I get a grip on the start  I will be OK. It seems like this time of the year means nothing stops until Christmas.  Hold on because here we go!
