It’s Raining Pink Petals and It’s Pretty

We have this really pretty Quanzan Flowering Cherry tree. It’s usually loaded with blossoms and then they blow away with the wind, like in these pictures. It’s so pretty.

The cherry tree also happens to be the birdhouse tree. Several bird families live here.

Every time the wind blew the pink cherry blossom petals flew through the air and I tried getting a picture of that.
Here is a picture of the wind blowing and the petals flying but it’s hard to tell that from these pictures. Darn. It was so beautiful!

It looks like pink snow covering the ground, doesn’t it?

On the pond, the flowers settle.

Some of the birdhouses in the cherry tree were looking pretty sad so I took some pretty cans of spray paint and had a ball.

Blossoms are sticking on the birdhouses.

I wish I could have taken better pictures of the flower blossoms blowing in the wind.

Hope you had a great weekend. my friends,

My Sister’s Pretty Flower Pictures

My sister, Carol, has been on a new jag the past few months and I’m happy to show what she has been up to!

She is making these little flower pictures...

First she ironed Wonder Under onto many different fabrics and then she cut out lots of different circle sizes. These circles of fabric already have Wonder Under on the back of them and are ready to place on cardstock (or fabric) and iron them down.

She has strips of green all made up and ready to be sewn down.

Here Carol is sewing around the edge of the flower with a decorative machine stitch.

This is what the back of the card looks like. It’s pretty cute all on its own.

This is one of the cute little cards she makes...

We put one of the little flower cards inside this glass frame but it didn’t fit right because of the button. To fix that we pulled the button off the fabric and....

glued it onto the glass of the frame. PERFECT!!
