PINK Saturday

It's hard for me to believe that PINK Saturday is here! I've decided that I'm going to put in lots of pink impatients this year and some white ones. A lot of my yard is in the shade most of the day and impatients do very well and are so cheerful!

This beautiful rose is from a bush that was already in the yard when we bought the house and it's still going great!

I love this clematis but it didn't do very well last year hopefully it will do better this year.

This is a woolly lamb that I've needle felted. Poking the wool hundreds of times with a needle is a great stress reliever! I think she turned out kinda cute. I have many more things I've needle felted recently and will start putting them on here for you to see.

Since my husband Jim's illness we are home together every day and my life so different - I'm sure there are other words I could use but yes everything is different!! If I go out he goes with me, if he needs to go some where I go with him because he is not driving yet. He had a heart catheter on Tuesday and oh what a stressful day that was. His appointment was at 10:00 am and they didn't take him in until 3:15 so we didn't leave the hospital until almost 9:00. His arteries are clean, his heart is still pumping at 20% and his blood pressure is very high and the Doc wants him to have a defibrillator put in. Jim is not sure he want one put in..he want another opinion so now we wait for another appointment.

Warm wishes for a Happy Mother's Day,

A New Project Needle Felting

Hi Everyone, It's been awhile since I've posted but it's Pink Saturday so here is a little PINK I've just needle felted. I had never heard of needle felting until recently while visiting in blogland and seeing some wonderful needle felted sculptures. Last week I received my first kit from Lowell Country Designs of a Polar Bear. My bear is a little different from the kit (it's all white) and I put a pink scarf around her neck. I've never done any doll or bear making and this was fun.

Now my little Blue Bird of Happiness is my own design and she's all wool. She's sitting on a vintage egg cup. I also made that little yellow peep. I've been spending hours on the computer searching for needle felting to learn as much as I can. There are many exceptional artists doing needle felting and many are willing to share their knowledge.

Thanks for visiting today and please let me know what you think of my needle felting projects.
