Un Regalo Per Priscilla... A Gift For Priscilla...

Many ,  many years ago,  before Priscilla was even born,  I started this needlework piece.  I loved the simple design and the fact that it was not a typical needlework pattern.  I bought it in the seventies... I started working on it,  then put it away,  and forgot about it.  Years later I came across it,  but still didn't continue working on it.  When I came across it recently,  I decided it needed to be finished.  I still love the design,  and so does Priscilla.  I was surprised and happy  when she told me that she would like to have it.  After all these years,  I would  need to put and end to this project,  and so I did.  
I'm happy with the way it turned out... although  not perfect,  I love it...

Piccole Bellezze... Little Pretties...



Been enjoying some Valentine Decorating and a few little crafts... I made these Decorative little dish towels to give as little party favors for girlfriends at Yuri's Birthday Lunch... I think they turned out cute,  and the girls really liked them...

Fiori D'Inverno... Winter Flowers...

The "Benjamin Britten" roses are still wanting to bloom ,  but it is time to prune all the rose bushes back... The weather has been so cold this week,  colder than I can ever remember, mid 50's daytime temperatures...


 I love their  pinkish red color and their sweet,  sweet scent...

The ornamental cabbages are looking good , they love the cold...

 Purple is definitely a favorite color in the garden....
but I love to have  Pink Cyclamen as Valentines Day approaches... 
This ornamental cabbage with the soft pink center is my new favorite,  with its gorgeous veining in the sage green leaf combined with the pink is just stunning ... another one of natures masterpieces...
