praise the Lord, the sun is shining!

it has been such a foggy and cloudy winter.

as i am sure most of you have experienced.

i am getting spring fever really bad, but unfortunately i won't be able to dig in the dirt any time soon.

so, instead i decided to make my own roses to display until i can get some planted.

i just took a couple of doilies, folded them in half.

take the bigger of the two, roll it up.

then take the smaller one and roll it up with the bigger one.

add a sprig of velvet leaves and keep it together with a rubber band.

then fluff.

they may not be real,

or red.

but i sure like how they look.

perfect with my dried hydrangeas from last season.

i hope the sun decides to stay out a little longer than it has.

we have only been getting a few hours a week.

now, i know i won't be moving up to the northwest any time soon.

i am linking to twice remembered - make your monday

and to cottage instincts-make it for monday.

and a soft place to land - diy day

i hope to get back to blogging on a somewhat of a regular bases this week. i think the cloudy days have gotten the best of me lately.

i have so much more energy today with the sun rays....

or maybe it is just my coffee.

until next time...
