I have with me here one of my nieces. My dad had a knack for taking pictures with an "I have no idea what's going to happen here" kind of fee. I turned the camera hoping to catch my niece and me and took the shot. Et Voila. The neice, she has a lovely smile.… Continue reading New York Botanical Garden

Desire
Over the next couple of weeks I'm going to outline 2 classes, make a power point presentation and get ready for my first (and hopefully not only) teaching gig at BERNINA University. A side note I made Jeanne Delpit (from BERNINA) laugh by telling her I practice what I'm going to say while on my… Continue reading Desire
Garden and Quilting
Last Monday I posted this photo on my other blog wondering, in part, what would become of this. Would we just take it out because it was so overgrown with suckers?

We went to Wilderstein, last owned by Margaret "Daisy" Suckley, which we happened upon one day early in the spring. Pictures are in his camera and I'll get a hold… Continue reading Vacation time
The New York Botanical Gardens is a sweet place to visit. In spite of the Hurricane the rose garden looked amazingly good. Both my sweetie and I had our cameras and with great memory space we both took a lot of pictures. This bee waited just long enough for me to snap it's pic. The… Continue reading
More Roses
The color on the Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale Rose is quite striking. I like it more for the name. I have no idea what kind of rose this is, I just like the quantity of petals and the shape of them. Being in the rose garden really makes me want to add more to… Continue reading More Roses
