Fancy a parasol, do you?

Maybe some pearls too.

Perhaps a bit o' sunshine?

A pansy or two?

A pixie amid posies.

A handcrafted purse by Pat.

Pat Winters, that is.

A lilliputian pitcher

A sunny, bright pansy

to gladden your day.

The orange hued crazy quilt piece

was crafted by moi

from a kit I ordered

 from Pat Winters,

who has the most

enchanting crazy quilted creations,

hand dyed silk ribbons,

crazy quilt kits and fabric images

at Etsy and ArtFire and her blog.

The purple purse was

crafted by Pat and offered as a

grand prize for a giveaway on her blog.

I am grateful and delighted to have

won this treasure of detailed

stitching, silk ribbon embroidery,

beading, and crazy quilted fabrics.

Thank you Pat!

As for the pixie and ribbon pansies

 and orange crazy quilted practice,

they are all bits of crafting

 I attempted during the

last few months,

which have been a bit challenging

with caretaking responsibilities,

and surgical recovery.

Blogging and creative ventures

have taken a back seat to

caretaking responsibilities lately,

which are gladly taken on

 and at the top of my to do list.

Though, I must add that I do enjoy

visiting you, blogfriends, and the

beautiful inspiration you all offer,

and I even aspire to comment

 here and there.

Thank you for sharing

 your creative ventures!
