Good Morning!
Dahlias are one of my plantings of choice this spring.
So this gorgeous burst of color greeted me on our outdoor fire pit table ...
... when I went out to sip my morning cup of frothy latte at 6:00am,
right after Mr Scrapatch left for work at his new "retirement job,"
Dahlias are not a perennial here in my northern clime so I am reading up on them at ...
... in hopes of bringing them back next year.
I have not had much success winter other annuals
so time will tell.
I have pink ones like this one that has just been touched by the sun
peeking around the roof of my neighbor on the east.
In addition to the pink, I have yellow ...
... and some of these beautiful flame touched ones.
I am going to put some in big pots and find the best sunny spots for them
and a couple in the ground and see which fares the best.
I have picked the floss colors for my custom house on the ...
As you can see the design house is mostly gray.
I like the look of their version.
I am just trying to make it look and feel a little more like my little home.
Back inside, I have started stitching my modified version
of our brown roof line and green trim.
I have a plan. Hopefully it will work
and look a little bit more like my home.
I have tried stitching outside,
but my eyes prefer the bright LED light I need to use to get the
needle into the right place in the cloth.

Nutmeg is helping and checking my work.
I love the way her fur glows orange in the sunlight
coming in the window.
Here is my little Nutmeg on the flower table topper on my round coffee table.
that is the background of these photos.
I made this
a few years back and it is still my favorite.
There used to be a free tutorial for how I made this on Craftsy
but they took it away when the overhauled their site.
Maybe I need to find that tutorial.
It seems to have gone missing in my computer, too.
Maybe I shall have to do a makeover.
Hmmm .... ;)
Anyway ... today all I really want to say is ...
Everyday is a good day.
Playing
on my speakers.
Time to visit my
May you have a good day everyday.
