Pretty in Pink flowers ready for leaves!

Last week I posted my plans to make 17 scrap fabric roses using a pattern and instructions I picked up from Rebecca Sowers’s Etsy shop. Well, they’re finished…well, I still have to sew the leaves on, but check them our so far…

I sewed the strips and glued them in the circular pattern during the Indy 500…we had three favorites…Dario, Heilo, and Tony K. and were so excited to watch Dario take the checkered flag!

I piled these half-finished posies in a tea tray and had them smile for a group picture before they are wrapped and readied for exchanging at Paper Cowgirl Art Retreat.

I have picked one with lots of pink…

And as soon as I stitch those leaves on and add the backing, it will be ready to send out. This one will go to Stephanie http://angelicaccents.blogspot.com/ another Texas girl who stopped in during the Pink Saturday Second Birthday Party.  I had never visited her blog before, but she has a lovely bridal theme going this June. You should check it out and tell her I said “Hi”…then don’t forget our Hostess with the Mostest, Beverly at How Sweet the Sound .

When I catch my breath, I’ll start sending out Bluebonnet seeds…I’ll print out some planting instructions even though I don’t have much luck when I try to tell wildflowers where to grow and bloom. The best plants with the most blooms just seem to re-seed themselves where they want to grow…

Well, I’m off to Wimberley Trade Day…We’ll have iced tea and the ceiling fan will stir the breeze…the day is supposed to be HOT so think of me while you are Pink Saturday post-hopping in your cool surroundings. Or better yet, stop by Booth 375 to say “Hello”. Sit a spell, have some sweet tea, and enjoy the shade.
