I have enjoyed immensely reading your comments about the painting mishap. I kid you not, when I found the paint splatters, my whole family grabbed Olivia as if to shield her from me ~ then she was immediately whisked off to the park. (I wasn't going to hurt her, seriously!) But, thank goodness she's cute, right? And for the moment, those two blocks are simply resting. Their fate will be decided later. Welcome the newest member of my Farmer's Wife quilt...

I like it, it was easy to put together, and it's now secured in a fireproof safe with a triple lock... ha!
Have you seen the work of Amy Merrick? Her website and blog, An Apple a Day, are crazy gorgeous ~ in that modern, sophisticated, prairie style that I'm so enjoying right now. Her flickr photostream is here. Take a look at her photos and then come back and laugh as I share with you my feeble attempts at playing with flowers...
I spent 20 minutes Friday morning, playing with a $5 bunch I'd gotten from the Farmer's Market. If I have any wisdom to share it's this: spread that love. Don't hoard the whole arrangement in one place, break it up. I love putting a little jar of flowers in my bathroom because otherwise there's nothing pretty in there. And lately, I like the filler stuff even better than the "important" flowers...
But I did like these peach roses so much...
And on Saturday, there was a giant party at a park in our town. There was a lot of fun for everyone... you know, kettle corn, train rides, bouncy house, face-painting, barbeque, kinda fun.
Hope you had a great weekend! xo amy
