Pictures from my garden

This Clematis is blooming for the first time since it was planted 2 years ago. I guess it took awhile for it to like the place where it was planted. I can see it from our screened porch and I love looking at it when I'm out there.

Jewelry pouches

I've been sewing again. I made these jewelry pouches for my sister and two cousins for our retreat this year. They were fun to make and quick and easy. The blue one (inside and out) is mine. I made it as a prototype for the others.

Sister/Cousin reunion

Every year my 2 cousins and sister have a "girls" reunion. Our Mothers were sisters, so we keep the reunion alive for them. We just completed it for 2013 and had a blast. We shopped, laughed, and laughed some more. Here we are about to eat dinner one night at my house. So fun! Can you tell which one is my sister?
