spring in here!




my favorite flower in the garden (and i use that term loosely...tangled patch of plants is more like it at this point!) is blooming now. blood root is such a lovely little plant, and it's so nice that it blooms very early in the spring. every night the flower closes back up, and the leaf wraps around it for protection, such a charming habit!


also, i finished another pillow top. i'm loving making this popcorn pattern. it looks cool and has a nice texture. fun!

happy rainy sunday! i hope the sun is shining in your neck of the woods!!

bloodroot




this is bloodroot, one of my favorite flowers, and early to emerge in the spring! one of it's most charming characteristics is that it closes up at night, and its' leaf wraps back up around the closed flower, keeping it safe! so so pretty!
