Gifts of Grace Block 3



When I first saw this I thought it would be my least favorite but now that it's done I believe it is my favorite so far. Maybe it's the colours. I didn't do the beads this time. I think I'll wait til the end. I have other hand stitching projects I'm working on so limited time.

The bazzar on Saturday was great. We did a booming buisiness with the coffee and muffins and with hot dogs. I think it will become a staple of our bazaars. We could have used more help. I was exhausted by the time I got home and actually missed Church on Sunday morning. I get so tired it's really annoying. They also had a hit the minister in the face with a wet sponge event and raised $62 *LOL*

I usually go to the bazaars but don't get so personally involved. It surprised and gladened me to see so many members just come and hang out for the day and drink coffee and visit. At $1 for a bottemless cup of coffee it was the best deal in town. It was fun having friends around all day.

I've had these odd things growing in my deck planters all winter. I thought they looked like Snap Dragons but that's not possible is it? Survive over the winter? Well, guess what?


They ARE snapdragons. The only thing I can think of is it has been a mild enough winter aside from the cold winds, but these were behind the barbeque out of the wind and next to the wall where the fireplace is so maybe it was sheltered and warm enough of them to survive. I've had a few seed themselves before but they usually don't appear until the weather warms up more the end of May.

Have a great day everyone.

Very pretty block---I have snapdragons reseed and come up each year in my small garden and the garden is in the middle of the yard!!

Your block is lovely. Shirley.

I am sure you were appreciated for all your help at the bazzar. Well done!!

Snapdragons are one of my favorite flowers. I will plant some this year but ours don't flower till Sept. Spring Down Under.
