Dragon King Daylilies Blooming

My Dragon King daylilies are blooming. I saw the first open bloom this morning when I took the dog out. It wasn't long before I was outside with my camera taking a pic of that gorgeous flower.

Bela Lugosi Daylily

My "Bela Lugosi" daylilies are starting to bloom. My camera batteries are dead, so I took a pic with my cell phone. I am impressed, the pic turned out really well.


The blooms on this plant are just so lovely. Too bad the blooms don't last long.

I have another named Daylily, "Dragon King" but it hasn't bloomed yet this year. I want to get a pic of it, too. I will post the pic when I get one.

I planted some Amaryllis bulbs, but most likely won't see any blooms this year.

I got some herbs a 2 or 3 weeks ago. I planted these in containers and I have them sitting on my porch. I have sage, sweet basil, catnip, spearmint, hyssop, lavender and echinecea (Cone Flower).

My First African Violet Wasp Bloom!!

I am so excited Blue Tail Fly has a bloom!! This is my first wasp to bloom. I couldn't resisit taking a pic of the bloom.

As the picture shows, the plant has other buds, but they are taking their own sweet time about opening. I hope to get another pic with several buds open at once.

At our last AfricanViolet club meeting I aquired Optimara Little Moonstone - full of blooms!

and Episcia Checkboard - in bloom as well.

and Orchard's Bumble Magnet not in bloom. So I won't bother with a picture.

Happy AVing!

Baby Blanket

I got so far behind in posting pics of my finished items.

Here is a baby blanket that I completed back in January. I just realized that I never posted a pic of it on here.

I used Joann's Sensations yarn for this project.

Lapghan Finished!

I am really late in posting this one. I finished and shipped the lapghan I made for my Secret Sister, Elizabeth. And of course in all the excitement I forgot to take a picture of it! LOL! Go figure!

But Elizabeth came to my rescue and sent me the pictures she took of it.

So here is the lapghan I made for my SS.

Below is the laghan that Elizabeth made for me.

Below is a closer shot of the stitches in this lapghan.

Thank you, Elizabeth, you really do lovely work.

Progress on my Log Cabin Afghan

The second picture showing my progress on my Log Cabin Afghan.

I wanted a colorful afghan, now I am not so sure about all the different colors, but perhaps it is too soon to tell yet. I will do a few moe logs and if I decide I am not liking the color scheme I will finish it off as a blanket for the dog and start another one with a more structured color scheme.

I would like to have a purple one, all shades of purple or maybe purples and pinks.

Newest Projects

Here are some of the items I've been working on lately.

A soap or sachet bag done in Sugar N' Cream for a Swap.

A plastic bag keeper in Bernat Twists for a Kitchen Swap.

Two pink and black 12" squares for a square swap.

Angel dishcloth for a Kitchen Swap

I'm also still working on my Log Cabin Afghan and I making a lapghan for my Secret Sister on the Secret Sister Forum

I will have to post a new pic of my Log Cabin soon. I haven't had as much time to work on it as I would like, but it is a year long project.
