Shirley's picture.

If you remember my tulips from Valentine's Day, this picture was took by my Daugther's Shirley,at the end of February when the tulips were all open. She did a good job.

Colorful frame

I had this frame in my basement,I wasn't thinking in apply any color. But I have a lot of magazines a company send me regularly to order seeds for our garden, and the pictures are awesome. Why not use them to do something else? At the end I frame a nice Botanical Print and place it against this wall that have a faux finish in gold yellow.Is a nice picture.

Cross Stitch...

This picture was made long ago, I don't think I'll do Cross stitch for a while, it takes a lot of energy I ended with red eyes all the time. But I was a little younger by then.I just had to followed the stitches and coordinated the colors, I love how it looks now, perhaps I may change the frame later.

The little picture was made in 1996, I realize I did a lot of work those years in my spared time.It is by the same spot and I used ribbons in this one to add to the charm of the cross stitch. Is wonderfull how they look together, they are nice treasures.

In conclusion I think that if we want to create something we will find the time to do it, I even worked late at night.

Dinner at home.

You don't have to wait for a special occasion to enjoy a good dinner at home, or use the nice dishes, we should do it all the time. I like to change the decor as often as I can, and the table offer an opportunity to be creative and enjoy a casual, exotic or a fancy dinner with the family and friends.

No debemos esperar por una ocasion especial para disfrutar de una buena cena en casa o usar esa linda vajilla, porque no hacerlo todo el tiempo? Me gusta cambiar la decoracion a menudo, y la mesa te ofrece esa oportunidad de ser creativo y disfrutar una comida ya sea casual, exotica o elegante con la familia y los amigos.

Dinner for two?, I just love the reflection of candles in the glass and the idea of a romantic dinner sometimes.

Cena para dos? Me encanta el reflejo de las velas en el cristal y la idea de una cena romantica algunas veces.

Art.

This picture was made a few years ago for an art exhibition, I was just thinking how wonderful if I can have more time out of my work to do art.

Lemon Balm .

Last Year we planted a few Lemon Balm in the back yard, they grow so fast that we had to start using it in different things. I did fresh tea, add ice and sometimes a little Honey or sugar. We love it. Then I used to decorate around the house and look great, the leaves have a nice green color that will go anywhere. If you cut them put it inmediatedly in water to keep them firm. This plant have many benefits, is used as a flavouring in ice cream, with fruits and candies, in the evenings make you feel relax if you have trouble sleeping. The crushed leaves, when rubbed on the skin, are used as a repellant for insects.

Realesed a fresh citrus scent when rubbed, is bushy all year long, what else can I said? this I had learned from my Sister who cultivate the plant in her garden also.

The miniature roses bush was in bloom when the Winter started, I hope it will comeback this year, just wanted to share that picture with all of you.

Embroidery.

This project took me a few months to completed. Didn't frame it before,I abandoned for years until we moved to USA and found it again folded with my other pieces of embroidery designs, still waiting to be frame, one of this days...

I framed this one for my seating room, I think adds some more interest to the place, and make a reminder of my early days stitching with a group of friends. Now I can see this beautifully Bouquet and be proud of my work. Is a work of art, I did it!!!
