Little Treasures From My Front Yard

Last fall I went to the local IFA store and purchased some very sad looking plants. After spending the winter under the snow this is what came back. I can’t wait for them to spread!





I went to Wal-Mart and picked up some of their close out bulbs.

Green Fairy Quilts



I just found this site that sells all kinds of wonderful fabric. About a year ago I purchased several panels of Flower Fairy fabric. I've been trying to figure out a way to use them. I think this quilt pattern will be just the thing I need. I know the picture is kind of fuzzy but you get the idea. Now I just need to get busy and finish all the other projects I have lined up. Oh I forgot I also need to find time between teaching Kindergarten during the day and ESL classes at night. Anybody have any extra time they don't need and are willing to pass it on to me?

A Little Red Dress


All I need is a little girl to put into this red dress. I hate making button holes so I sewed the button on top and will add snaps as soon as I can find any. Somebody promised that a little girl would wear this dress while on her summer vacation in Hawaii. I think it will be perfect on a Hawaiian Princess.

Snow Drops!



Maybe there is hope for spring. It wasn't very nice to spend all most a week in warm, sunny Mexico and then get hit with -10 degrees when I touched down in Denver last week. Not nice at all! But this morning I found these beautiful little flowers poking up through last years fall leaves. Maybe spring is coming. There is always hope.

Zamma


In Mayan Zamma means the place where the sun rises. Or at least that is what our guide told us. I think I like Zamma better than Tulum.











Our guide also said that they think there are older ruins under some of the areas like this one. Rather than start digging things up they want to bring in machines that have sonar to check if there is anything under neath.



Our guide old us several interesting things about Zamma. In this cave he said there was a fresh water spring where the Mayans got their drinking water.
