There may be no flowers blooming on the outside of the cottage, but there are a lot of flowers blooming inside!
It’s time for some new garlands in the shop. And I have to crochet some scarves, too. Β I’m not ready to list them yet, but I’ll give you a heads up when I’m about to.
This is the garland that’s going to Judy at 20 North Ora. I’m awfully fond of it.
That’s what I’m up to on this Sunday. It looks sunny outside. I can only hope it will stay that way. We haven’t seen it very much lately.
Question for the day: When did the wordΒ curated become so overused? I do believe it has lost its original, highly specialized definition. Suddenly everyone’s a curator. Makes me sad.
Tomorrow is the PJ Party! I’d love to have you take part. Write a post about your favorite pajamas or nightgown, flannel or otherwise. Post a picture. Wax rhapsodic over the joy of spending an entire day in your pajamas or any adventures you’ve had in your pajamas or what happens when you greet the UPS man in your pajamas. You get the picture. I will have the party up and ready to go at 8:00 EST tonight, to give those of you who are pressed for time on Monday a chance to post.
Who knows how many will show up for this party? That’s the problem any party thrower runs into! I’m looking forward to reading your posts, my friends.
Linking to Elaine’s Sunny Simple Sunday.
Happy Sunday.

Jen @ Muddy Boot Dreams says
Those are simply delightful….and it’s so nice to see the bright cheery colors.
I would say curated became over used when Pinterest started to become very popular.
Jen
Claudia says
I think you’re right, Jen.
Laura says
I love your flower garlands, Claudia. The colors are beautiful. I agree with you about curated. Definitely overused now.
Hugs,
Laura
Claudia says
It sure is!
Debra says
MORE Snow here / enjoying your flowers! :) That garland on the newly painted dresser looks so pretty! :)
Claudia says
Thank you, Debra.
Susan says
Love those precious crochet flowers. I am so envious!!! Maybe I should fly you out to Idaho so you can give me some one on one crochet tutorials. I apparently did not inherit the ability from either of my grandmothers. See you tonight!
Big Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Claudia says
Looking forward to it, Susan.

So nice to come over here and see all the bright colors! The pajama party sounds like fun. I’ll bring a plate of deviled eggs, in case more guests show up than expected;)
Claudia says
Ummm! I LOVE deviled eggs!
Tammy says
Pajama party! Now you’re talking. My favorite attire. Crocheting up those pretty flower garlands sounds like the perfect way to spend the day. I hope you are wearing your pj’s while your doing it. :) Best wishes, Tammy
Claudia says
Of course!
My Little Home and Garden says
Your flowers are pretty, Claudia. I cheated and treated myself to a bouquet of tulips.
Claudia says
Not cheating at all. You deserve it!

Francine L. says
The flowers look beautiful, Claudia!! I love their pop of color!! Happy Sunday to you!! Francine
Lorrie says
Beautiful garland of flowers, Claudia. And I love the way you’ve displayed them. I’ve noticed ‘curated’ a lot lately, too. Reminds me of the lines in Princess Bride – “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
Mary says
I’m just now starting crocheting again after a hundred years! So far I can only do straight lines – willI ever be able to make lovely flowers like yours Claudia? I hope so as they are gorgeous.

I love the colors in that top photo, Claudia. What a breath of spring. And again, all I can say about that beautiful red garland is: Geraniums! So cheerful and rich and spring-like. It was pleasant here last weekend as well… a happy change from three weekends of snow, sleet, or blizzards.
