Flag Charts



Here's a couple little charts for July 4th. You can change the size of the flags by using smaller or larger beads. 15/0's would make a great size for earrings with the diamond shaped pattern.
Add some tassels with silver stars. Patterns created on BeadCreatorPro

Here it comes!!





Yes! Spring is finally arriving! Remember these photos from March 23? Here is the backyard today. I filled and hung the hummingbird feeder out on Thurs and Fri afternoon, the first hummer arrived. We've been busy cleaning up the yard, raking leaves left from the fall, putting out outdoor furniture and decorations. Still a lot to do, but we enjoy being outside and doing a little each day.

A few Easter Blooms




Finally, a few blooms are opening. It's getting a little warmer each day and evening, but we have had oh, so much rain. The garden soil is very soggy and there are areas we still can't rake and clean up yet.
The little one that looks like a dahlia is a miniature narcissus called Rip Van Winkle. Now the pictures really begin - lol
