Enjoying my morning cup of coffee
&
color planning.
I love color.
I love playing with color.
Trying to achieve that same
faded-with-time
look...
The beautiful hand dyed flosses
are wonderful
for helping us achieve
these lovely
faded shades of color.
I'm being a squirrel here...
I'm doing some planning and preparing
this morning
for my winter-time stitching.
This antique reproduction sampler
will be my "in between" project
for the upcoming winter months.
Thinking and hoping
for an early 2012
release on this one.
And speaking of lovely color...
My Surprise Lillies are now standing
full attention towards the late-summer skies,
planted randomly here and there,
throughout my flower beds.
I think they are multiplying
as their seems to be an abundance
of them!
I always toil with the question,
do I cut a bouquet and bring them in the house to enjoy,
or leave them outdoors?
Due to their abundance,
I've decided to bring them indoors
to enjoy.
Their aroma is splendid
and
their petals of faded pink
are so delicate and dainty...

and they remind me
of this photo,
taken 1 year ago...
and
that
makes
me
smile!
Also...
I'm getting photo updates
from model stitcher, Suzanne
of the
Winter
Sampler of the Season Sampler
and
it is looking wonderful...
can not wait to see it in person!
Watch for it's release date
on the
first day of autumn.
Have a good one everyone,
Brenda
Your sampler looks wonderful as always! Can't believe that Fall will be here before we know it.
ReplyDeleteThe lilies are beautiful! Such a soft pink. The colors chosen for your sampler made my knees weak! Yum!
ReplyDeleteYour things are so lovely indeed...I always have that same problem with my gladiolus..they look so beautiful in the garden..and I can't always decide to cut them or not. Happy Thursday...
ReplyDeleteThose colors you were playing with are gorgeous. I could just stare at those and feel relaxed. The flowers are beautiful and I love the picture of the baby in black and white with the colored flowers. Too pretty!
ReplyDeleteI am so ready for cooler weather. I live in Miami so the winter (cause we don't feel fall) is the only time the humidity and rain let up.
Enjoy your day. I do look forward to seeing your designs. All are gorgeous. :)

Lilies are so beautiful i love the pastel shade to
ReplyDeleteI love the colors on your "in between piece". Beautiful flowers. Sweet little grandson.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lilies, Brenda...funny - I do that too - "to cut, or not to cut?" Hmmmm....Think you've captured yesterday perfectly with the colors for your squirrel project! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
ReplyDeleteThe more I see your new purse, and now the glimpse of another sampler with a grayish linen, Im kicking myself for getting rid of mine! I couldn't imagine and never found a sampler I liked for a grayish ground. I was so wrong!!!
ReplyDeleteI have the same lilies. My grandparents gave them to me 36 years ago. My grandpa called them "Resurrection Lilies" because they have leaves in Spring, that die back and after a good rain in August they send up a stalk with the blooming lilies. I always think of my grandpa when they bloom. (Lycoris squamigera)
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you're picking out for your sampler. Have a nice weekend.
I'm loving the looks of this sampler. Your lilies are so pretty - around here (Ohio Kentucky) we call them Naked Ladies because they don't have leaves - but it is a surprise when ever they spring up! LOL -
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're doing well, Brenda. I'm glad. Love your lilies. They are beautiful. And your floss colors are lovely too. Keep up the good work!!
