I thought we needed a sweet touch of Spring here in the house. Flowers always cheer me and bring a smile to my face.

Such a pretty soft pink – in my favorite Red Wing vase. I don’t know if you can tell from this photo, but the inside of the vase is a pale shade of green. I found this many years ago when I was living in Boston. It is the perfect vase.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your lovely expressions of sympathy. I am so blessed to have you as friends. We are spending quiet days here; talking about Lee, about loss, about pain, about losing a parent. Both Don’s parents are now gone. My brother is gone. You never get over it, do you?

Yesterday I played catch-up on my squares. Sometimes my vision and the execution are strikingly different – and not in a good way! No matter – I’m having fun.

Square #24 – a bathtub filled with bubble bath and a soft pink rug.
Square #25 – a swing hanging from a tree
Square #26 – pretty flowers with bead centers

The quality of these stitching photos depends, I’ve found, on what time of the day I actually finish the squares. These were finished late in the afternoon on a day that started out sunny but turned cloudy.

Thank you again, my friends.
