A VERY BUSY TUESDAY....

THREE OR MORE, hosted by TAM at THE GYPSY'S CORNER
*
THREE little bathing beauty grands....
BAILEY, DEEDS and ANDREA.....
We were on the Grand Caymen Islands, last October,
and having the time of our lives.... *gulp..**sighhhh

WORK OF THE POET is hosting this RED day...
*

THANKS, DIANE

****
*

OK..I know I've shown this quilt before but....
*

People that read me very often know how much I love the color RED...

I have THREE OR MORE quilts and a lot of them have red ....

This RED and White one is from J.C. Penney

and I am totally and forever in love with it.... why...I sleep with it every night !! ;)
*

This work of art is a treasure my mother made years and years ago..

It hangs in it's PLACE OF HONOR in my dining room...and brings such cheery thoughts

every time I glance at it.

My mama was so SO good at every thing she did....*gulp

O, and up there on the little shelf...

my THREE OR MORE little Willow Tree people.
*

This is one I've shown before that MOI made...

It's not fancy, by any means, but I love the cheery fabrics in it...

I am in the mood to make another one......

.....in the fall, when it is cooler !!

Waaay too hot right now to get all snuggled into a quilt !
*

This one is a 2ND TIME AROUNDER....

I bought the vintage, finished quilt top

off Ebay and put it together with the batting and backing...

then machine quilted it...

I wonder why anyone would want to part with such a piece ??
*

These THREE folded quilts usually stay stacked on my

2ND TIME AROUND, wicker bed tray...thrifted from a garage sale.....

*

This little beauty is added 'cause...

One....she has RED in her hair and on her little precious feet....
*

Two....I have MORE THAN THREE....*grinning

*

and three....She can be a 2ND TIME AROUND girl since she is my daughter's daughter...

and MY granddaughter !!
***

NOW....how's that for milking it to get THREE memes in !!?

6/29/09 ... WATERY BLUES.......

BLUE MONDAY...

I've been adding touches of watery blue to my bath.....


It's a beautiful color and it is HOT right now....
*
It's a cool, great color to use during the heat of the summertime...
*

*

SHARE A GARDEN and SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY

I am just beside myself to be joining in with sweet ARTIE

at COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES ...

I'm afraid I am rushing it a little...

my rose bushes aren't producing really well yet...

my Rose of Sharon's have buds all over them but....

no blooms as yet...

*

But, I decided to post anyway and will do it again when my blooms happens..:)

*

Stop by and see pretty gardens and flowers all over Blogland...

and tell Artie thanks for hosting.

*

My Star Jasmine...I just planted it this spring so it won't get too large

this summer...hoping by next, tho, that it will be climbing the old picket fence section behind it....

and produce those adorable white STARS....

can't wait... ..but I am SO not a gardener. If something lives in my garden,

it is just pure happenstance !!
*

This little country garden plot is at the edge of my

front lawn...it's like a little wildflower garden !

....lots of buds here...

I love day lilies

*

Dusty Miller......and I can't even remember the name of this red flower...is it verbenas?
*

HUGE clusters of flowers on the Trumpet Vine...they are really pretty this year..guess all the rain made them happy !

*NOTE TO JUSTINE...did you notice ...I spelled 'huge' right ?!!! :)
*

MR. SWEET'S topsy turvey planter

tomatoes are going gangbusters...these are the cherry tomatoes...

and he also has little tiny peppers on his pepper plant..
*

One big tomato on the Beefeater tomato plant but lots of little yellow blooms...

I happen to LOVE fried green tomatoes but I am trying to contain myself....

he wants this tomato to get bigger and ripe!!

I am hoping there will be more than one... GOOD GRIEF !
*

this is a photo from last season of the little purple flowers that fall off EVERY evening and

have a brand new little purple flower every morning...just blows my mind !

They haven't got into full bloom this year but will add a new photo when they do..
*

All the blooms are off this plant...bwaaaaa...I hope they will come back.

The worst part...I didn't even think to dry them....what's wrong with me ?
* *****************************

I also wanted to join SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY...

my first time ! *blush

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY

Be sure to go over to HEY, HARRIET, our gracious host and

visit her and the others showing off their SHADOW SHOTS...

*

I guess this is just SHADE instead of SHADOW but I like the photo....

*

*
I really enjoyed finding shadow and shade photos and
enjoyed even more looking at the others offered.
