R...No time wasted my dear - enjoyed the whole read! Reminds one not to take our decorating too seriously. I'm with ya on the real vs. fake flowers thing. I have a few fakes, I don't mind admitting that, but I am choosey that they look really REALLY real. And yours do, at least from what I can tell in the photos. I have tons of flowers in my gardens but rarely cut them because of the mess they make. Just too busy for the clean up that comes with it. Your house is lovely, I really enjoyed your beautiful photos!CYNTHIA CRANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15886084821469471518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-81741419358605069972014-08-30T02:55:02.346-04:002014-08-30T02:55:02.346-04:00Your fresh flowers were oh so pretty.

Good for you in taking some time off to stare into that big blue sky before getting back to work on that fabric line. I am so anxious to see it!

I;'m wondering if you will design a fabric in the colors of the fifth photo down. The red, green, and blue w/ a touch of yellow would be lovely, IMO.

With the yuk out of the way, bringing in flowers from the garden can actually be a really satisfying past time. <br /><br />Can't wait to see your fabric designs. Have you looked for online classes? I've noticed quite a few colleges that offer free classes but haven't investigated any further.pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13836431119239038983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-22674698104086642872014-08-29T11:50:26.838-04:002014-08-29T11:50:26.838-04:00the flowers look great~!
I am a graphics artist,...the flowers look great~!<br /><br /> I am a graphics artist,, I use paint shop pro edition as well as many add on plug ins, masks and textures,,includes- a wide variiety of premade tubes as well as lessons on how to make person tubes to save for future use.<br /><br /> I have often thought off offering an online class- 1 morning and eveniing. basic, intermediate, thru advanced. Payment would be Per class so each student could go as far as they wished to suit their own needs.<br /><br /> Now if someone would just point me to where a chat room could be used by any internet server- we could get started next week.

Do Dahlia's grow by you? Recently, a young man (12?) was giving away Dahlia's that his grandpa grew, along a popular lake front walk. (NC). That sucker looked GORGEOUS for almost TWO WEEKS, and didnt "shed" a thing! One more thing....A friend of mine bought an orchid at a yard sale, and watered it for a month before she realized it was a fake!!!bmayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12235166253739972423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-5250439462965139262014-08-29T10:45:31.658-04:002014-08-29T10:45:31.658-04:00It is a very pretty arrangement.
