The wild and woolly flower garden is looking- well "wild and woolly " of course. 🌷🌷🌷
Hello, Sweet friends. How are you doing on those bright and beautiful Sunday morning? Did you wake up with a pep in your step? I certainly had a pep in mine after a piping hot cup of morning coffee.

Good morning sweet Melisa! Happy Sunday! ☀️ I would love to help you with your gardening and then stitch with you 😁 Most of my garden is still asleep because we still have very cold nights...but a few flowers are trying to come up here and there and I'm SO excited! 🪻🌷
ReplyDeleteI spent the past two days at an amazing cross stitch retreat here in Maine that got me floating on clouds cause it was so fun and I met so many wonderful people from all over the US. I kept thinking how much my sister would've enjoyed it too. 🥰
Hope you have a beautiful day! Happy gardening and stitching!
Hugs from Maine,

Happy Sunday, Miss Melisa!!! I decided I wanted to work on a small quilt and got started when I should have gone to bed. LOL Nope no sleeping for this old gal and have enjoyed time at my machine. I have been sewing a bit recently and having a good ole time. Your Butterfly Kisses quilt is wonderful. Enjoy every stitch! Hugs, Hugs, and more Hugs, DarleneJ
ReplyDeleteGood Morning my friend! Gardening? Not this time. The chickens have pretty much destroyed our part of the yard. Maybe next year when we won't be traveling as much and the chickens have a new place to play - dd is working on that.
ReplyDeleteIt's Christmas here too though the ornies get worked on anytime they choose ;-)
Blessings!
Your garden looks perfect - I love "wild" and would love to have a whole front yard that looks like an English cottage garden! The butterfly quilt is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa, my garden is still mostly under snow except for the south facing bulb garden. There are a few crocuses that are blooming but the cold temps are making the big hyacinths hold back. It is still too cold to be out during the day without a light jacket but spring is coming. The next 5-6 days will be rain so hopefully that will take care of the snow. I am on the injured list so there will be lots of stitching as I heal. I am going to the Stitch North retreat in May and want to be able to enjoy myself so resting is the key. I love having your notes in my inbox..lovely way to start the day. From north of Ottawa Ontario Canada.
ReplyDeleteYour butterfly quilt is looking good, Melisa. No gardening plans here. Enjoy your Sunday!
ReplyDeleteThat peach background on your butterfly quilt is so pretty, Melisa--this will be another lovely one;)))We have a few daffodils opening up around my little rock garden in the front...but it remains still pretty chilly here with the winds off the ocean waters...
ReplyDeleteI finally finished quilting Jelly Roll Jazz--the 2nd from that blue batik jelly roll and now am going to make binding...but a day of rest for my shoulders is in order first;))) hugs Julierose
We saw lots of butterflies in Texas last week. You got a good shot of the one in your garden. Enjoy your stitching time today. No garden chores for us today, we'll have rain all day. Which is fine with us, we need the moisture.
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful Sunday, Melisa. I love the butterfly quilt you are working on, Pretty in Peach, and she certainly is! I have one Amarylis that pops up (thankfully) every year that my sweet Mama planted probably 20 years ago, and my glads are greening up. I have one "something" that we planted as a stick and was supposed to be peonies as I love peonies, but it's definitely NOT a peony! It comes back every year and apparently thrives in our clay soil! Those little flowers popping up in different places are what Mama called volunteers! They volunteer to come back each year! LOL Have a wonderful Sunday and thanks (in advance) for sharing with us at Monday Musings. Have a great week, friend! Hugs, B
ReplyDeleteI like your Santa Sunday! My husband has been mowing, weeding and pruning. The yard looks great. I had to give up gardening after being rear ended in a car accident in 2009 although, I do a little dead heading here and there!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to see your beautiful quilted quilts, Melissa.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful butterfly.
Your garden is awakening with the arrival of spring.
Have a blessed Sunday.
Lovely butterfly quilt, Melisa! And what a cute cocoa project you have in the works--thank you for the link :) Our yard is greening up nicely and we've had two sunny days in a row--rare for southwestern PA. It certainly does lift my spirits and I swear I'm more productive on sunny days :) Wishing you a day filled with more butterflies and sunshine! ♥
ReplyDeleteThings are starting to green up in very dry Colorado, and I'm hoping to see some marigold sprouts soon, too! How lovely to see a butterfly already! I love your butterfly quilt - it looks like you're moving right along with the quilting. Hope you've had a relaxing Sunday, Melisa!
