Wow, 105??!!! I'd still rather be sweating than freezing! I love summer and love your zinnias and sunflowers. I love to grow them both on our farm! The best thing to do is plant too many so you can cut them and bring them inside for bouquets!! Just want to say the piece you stitched about try,try again is priceless!! Burn it,bury it I laughed so hard...hmmm,maybe relate too much! Anyway, loved it and would love to have that framed in my office!! Have a great weekend, stay cool!Lisa Sall - Sall's Country Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09729015228245019482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814665899248320412.post-21679680010219163422011-02-01T05:05:08.264+11:002011-02-01T05:05:08.264+11:00Thank you so much for the lovely comment on the &#...Thank you so much for the lovely comment on the 'sew cute' brooch.

I have seen really beautiful bridal bouquets made with the white zinnias and a little bit of greenery. Your creative stitchery projects always amaze me. I can barely write with a pen, much less with a sewing machine. Those little mistakes just keep it real. :-) Life isn't perfect.GardenOfDaisieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110646840082802721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814665899248320412.post-38907405266568504572011-01-28T16:30:39.532+11:002011-01-28T16:30:39.532+11:00Hey Ladies, thankyou one and all for allowing me a...Hey Ladies, thankyou one and all for allowing me a bit of a self indulgent 'ta dah' moment. It had been a bit of a process, so it's nice to acknowledge the finished product. No UFO this time....lol.<br />The Zinnias keep on blooming, they are just stunning and I always love to share them with you.<br />Gretchen the machine embroidery text, is very simple it just takes a little patience and practice.<br />Sandra, hope those levees hold and your home is safe from the floods. <br />Janet, hope you haven't been snowed under and all is well.<br />Thanks so much for visiting, its always lovely to receive, such encouragement form people far and wide.<br /><br />Claire :}Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742003349610251189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814665899248320412.post-63996110984006293242011-01-28T10:36:18.388+11:002011-01-28T10:36:18.388+11:00The cushion is gorgeous Claire, love the grey.

I did have trouble finding the missing word in the original.<br />Love the zinnias, my Mum used to grow beauties, afraid I don't have the touch with them.<br />The 6" of rain we had ruined my big sunflowers, they are looking very sad with no petals at all left.

The one you replied on is the one I use to vent and talk about yucky stuff. The other one, Ungardened Moments is for the happy, creative, fun stuff which you might find of more interest if ever your're stuck for something to do. As if! :)<br />Anne x**Anne**https://www.blogger.com/profile/05595796965034742923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814665899248320412.post-33296124631137616902011-01-27T19:06:01.323+11:002011-01-27T19:06:01.323+11:00Well done on your perseverence - lovely results, ...Well done on your perseverence - lovely results, not sure I could have stuck at it the same as you managed!!<br />Great flowers - we just have bare twigs over here right now!!Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00517569417242599821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814665899248320412.post-90785984108681097402011-01-27T17:53:03.806+11:002011-01-27T17:53:03.806+11:00I love your cushion Claire.

Do you have many foxes where you live? <br />The Zinnias are gorgeous too and how nice to have a vase full of them inside for you to enjoy. Seeing your flowers has given me the urge to go and pick some Hydrangeas which are doing much better this year with all the rain and cooler summer we are having down here.<br />Enjoy your evening,<br />Anne**Anne**https://www.blogger.com/profile/05595796965034742923noreply@blogger.com
