I had a few birthday bucks burning a hole in my pocket, and so I went to the workroom for some inspiration!
I got these lovely prints and I want to make a quilt again. I have been collecting inspiration for ever, but don't hold your breath! This could take a while! Starting a quilt on the first day of summer- will this girl ever learn?
Also, its our first wedding anniversary today! :)

Here are some pretty white flowers from our garden. Thses guys are all over the neighborhood and seem to spread secretly in the night.
Also, if you are curious, here is what my garden is looking like so far. It is around 3x3 meters or less. I think I planted the tomatoes too close together and the chard are coming along nicely. My cosmos are going crazy, and I didn't get it in the photo, but I have two enormous hollyhocks in the back which I grew from seeds I swiped off some nearby hollyhocks last fall, by a wearhouse. I call that using your environment for the betterment of your garden, and there is no crime in that! I also have zillions of zinnias ready to pop, grown from seeds I found around the corner, growing through a fence. I am always afraid I will get caught and yelled at , but i don't think it really is a crime is it? The flowers are finished by that point anyway!

happy anniversary tania!

I was wondering when your anniversary was. I knew it was end of June but as we weren't there wasn't entirely sure. Now i'll remember it is day after my mother's bday.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Looks like a nice and flowery day. Perfect.

Congrats on the anniversary. I love the inspiration pics too. Can't wait to see what you create. Did you get the fabric with the blue flowers at the same shop? I really like it and would like to get some too.
