(1) This is Stephanotis
I knew this only as Jasmine when
I received this plant from one of my sons for Mother's Day.
So I had to look it up. I always start on Wikipedia.
I love Wikipedia.
(2) I also had to look up How To Care for this lovely fragrant plant.
The scent is wonderful. Not too strong.
Just a touch of sweetness in the air.
I do not have the greenest of thumbs. I hope to keep it happy.
The buds were closed tight when I received it.
Now the flowers are opening and a few new buds have formed.
So far so good.
(3) I am quilting this week.
This is the back of my project.
It is for my daughter's wedding tables.
It is for my daughter's wedding tables.
Next week I will be posting photos of the front in a blog hop.
(4) This is a very random close up of the varigated lavender cotton thread
that I am using and my bobbin winder on my sewing machine.
I love my bobbin winder.
Many years ago I had an old machine and no bobbin winder.
I can remember winding bobbins by hand ...
around and around and around and around.
(5) This photo is blurry but I like it because Butterfly,
who is 13 years old this year, looks very kittenish.
Butterfly is very playful and loves to roll up and hide under my quilts
and whatever I am working on.
Lots of my quilt blocks get re-arranged for me this way. It is okay.
I love Butterfly.
I am linking up again today with one of my favorite weekly linky parties ...
I always find lots of interesting photos and facts and stories.
Enjoy!
Have a lovely long weekend ...
and remember.
