Late blooms; autumn bouquet

Late blooms from my garden, picked this morning.  Roses, lavendar, and a sprig of rosemary for remembrance.  Their fragrance is simply heavenly.

Bead Embroidery!

I am taking a Bead Embroidery class through Craftsy (www.craftsy.com). The beads pictured here are tiny and I use a magnifying glass while working, so as not to completely blow out my eyesight. I love bead embroidery!

A note about Craftsy:  Simply the best platform out there for online craft classes and and all kinds of other hobbies.  I recommend Craftsy classes highly.

Looking back...Spring 2015

Bits and pieces from Calico Quilter's garden, Spring 2015. 

Happy New Year 2015!

Looking out the front door

This is what we woke up to on New Year's Eve day at Paz Casita in Temecula, California.  Normally the weather here is warm and windy in the afternoons, mostly always blue skies and sunshine; never, or rarely does it snow, and yet...
