This was a very floral Mother’s day/birthday combo. I loved the many beautiful flowers, not all of which are pictured here. In addition to the bouquets here, there was a large aloe vera plant, a beautiful Hydranga, and a lovely Phlox plant.

A table of cards and gifts
The cakes
A lovely hand made paperweight,
A plaque from one daughter
This plaque was designed and executed by another daughter. There was a lovely gift certificate for JoAnn’s which will definitely be used.
Then I showed off the newest family members and we had wonderful afternoon weather to sit and visit on the back deck. It was a wonderful day, thanks to all the participants.
I think I should have another birthday next month, after I have thoroughly savored this one.

Applique goes very slowly, so this much is done. Will work on the other blocks next week.
This is the quinoa salad for Mother’s day lunch. It has tomatoes, broccoli, orange pepper and seasonings.
Aren’t they just the cutest little lambs.
They were born last Sunday and will be nursing for some time yet, however, they were eager to try the weeds that I gave mom. They are so tiny that I need to fix an outdoor place they and mom can get some greens where they don’t get run over by the big sheep.
I love the way this quilt turned out. It is 36 x 39 which is a great size for a new baby. I used a flannel with an owl print on the back.
These iris are from a cousin. They are just starting to bloom and so beautiful. Another wonderful thing about them, is that once planted, they can stay there for two or more years.
This was our view as we ate lunch outdoors today. The weather was beautiful! The extra dark “bushes” are really nettles that the sheep won’t eat, so we will have to weed whack them.
We went to Yoga this morning, but I did get this quilt finished this afternoon. It is small – only about 38″ square. I mostly did stitch in the ditch on the straight lines and added a few clouds.
