Spring Inside and Out

Spring is here, finally!

The weather has been beautiful and even though I haven't been going out much, I have been enjoying having the sun light shining through the windows, it brings a nice feeling, it makes me happy.

I gotta say, I don't really have a green thumb, my gardening skills are limited, of course I could get better at it if I applied myseld, but that's not my thing. I love flowers, but taking care of them it's a different story...

It's so nice to look out of the window and see the apple trees, they are so beautiful, wouldn't you agree?



Well, I had to show you guys my African violets, they are the only plants that I seem to survive here, and they are gorgeous right now, I have 4 of them and they all have gorgeous flowers - yay!





And ta-dah, I finished my table runner!!! I don't know what happened to my measurements, but I made it long... LOL, but I like it anyways. What do you think?

  5. Wow! the table runner turned out so cool! I like that it ran so much it fell off the sides of the table (excuse my lame joke!)

    mmmmm I beg to differ with you about the green thumb... you must have it, because I cannot coax violets to thrive in my house! I mean, my aunt just chops off a leave, sticks it in a pot and voila! there's another gorgeous violet!
    I love the view of the apple tree!

  7. Violets where my grandmother's favorite (she helped raise me) I use to get her violets every mother's day....!

    I knew you'd have that table runner finished in no time...and I love it....you've inspired me to make some placemats for my mother's day brunch...!

    Wishing you and your family a lovely weekend...go for a walk with the baby carriage.

    Today it was 70 here in Boston that's consider a high temp for us.
    Oh how I long to move somewhere warmer......!

  9. The table runner is wonderful, I love how flows off the side of the table. The flower pics are beautiful. So how do you add a link to someone's shop in a blog post?

  10. Hi Sandra:

    I love the heat. I am half columbian and my 1st husband Puerto Rican, every year we went to Puerto Rico for 3 months to visit family and I never wanted to leave......My mother in law (mommy) I miss her so! I am also Italian, my mom is from Naples, Italy and the second time around I married an Italian man, I love having two cultures.
