"Ain't Nature Grand?" (As Lolo Would Say)

This teeny piece of succulent from our garden apparently broke free from the main plant, and rooted itself in a tiny crack in the rock.  Amazing.

Another of the succulents in the rock garden - love the bluish color and the ruffled edge.

This succulent looks like a perfect rosette.

This year, we mixed up the trailing plants a bit, and added some "everbearing" strawberries with pink flowers.  I loved the way this lone strawberry captured the setting sunlight.

This year we have a pot of all orangey-toned flowers and plants.

My favorite color combo in the colored foliage division - deep purple and lime green.

My latest project is this Bookshelf Pixie from a pattern by Faewyck Studios.  I was given a bunch of patterns and decided to play with a few.  She just needs some finishing touches, which include finding a way to make the hat a little less perky, a little more slouchy, and stabilizing her hands to her sides:

Good morning

What a beautiful day!
