Geranium 1

Geranium 2

Geranium 3

Here we have some flowers from the garden at the back of the house: geraniums, snapdragons and herbs that have flowered and nearly gone to seed. I do love this time of the year.

This past weekend saw me busy at the sewing machine, working on a project for a family wedding: the flowergirl dresses. They're very simple in design (as you can see) and made from a beautiful soft white cotton with very faint woven stripes. They'll all be lined in the softest cotton lawn and have sashes made from printed voile to match the wedding colours. I hope. 4 down, two to go…

    Those flowers are gorgeous. That is so much prettier than looking at our muddy mess of a back yard now that the snow has melted! Good luck with the dresses!

    I’ve been reading your blog for a couple years…so cheerful to see my favorite flowers (geraniums) in your pic today. It’s back to winter here in the midwest in the USA so I always enjoy seeing your summer pics!
