I am enjoying the warmer weather although it has still been cool. That's fine with me because I don't like hot. It is to get into the 80s this weekend. Spring is definitely here because my world is covered in a yellow haze of pollen. My sinuses can attest to this also. I know from some of the blogs I read that snow is still around in some of the Northern Hemisphere so I'll share some more flowers to help warm your day or give you Spring envy at least. My irises have been putting on a great show!
Here is a closer view. The purple is much deeper than this. I couldn't get it to show true color even with a little adjusting.
This is the batch in the center island. They have just started opening. This picture is several days ago. Yesterday all those buds you see were open. I'll try to get more pictures today. I think a few purple ones should be open in this group today too.
I have one more batch of colored iris that blooms later. I'm hoping I won't miss them while we are on vacation later this month.
Ready for some more purple? Here is my Rainbow Scrap Challenge block. The colors in it are much richer than they show here too. Some of these look blue but they really are purple.
I have flourescent lights in the studio that just change colors even though they are daylight bulbs. There is too much pollen to lay it outside. It would turn yellow I'm sure. LOL
Here is a peek at what I'm working on at the longarm. Not too fancy but it is getting
DONE! Yeah!
DONE! Yeah!
I haven't done the wavy lines this way before. I'm really liking it! One day I won't chicken out of doing the ruler work. Still more skills to master. I'll get there one day I hope. This is a good thing - refer to the quote above. LOL
How's this post for a Happy Trifecta? Flowers, quilts and something for the Grandbaby. I hope your day is a happy one too!
