LOVELY SURPRISE GIFT BY THE SEA ART HYPERBOLIC CROCHETED FLOWER KNITTED WASH CLOTHES WILDLIFE VISITING and THE STASH BUSTER CHALLENGE

Good Day Everyone,

I recently met Betsy at her blog called, 
"The Simple Life of a Queen". I really admired Betsy's very pretty swirly wash clothes.  I ask Betsy if she could find the time to make me 3 wash clothes in some of my favorite colors... Without really knowing me Betsy kindly said, Yes and knitted them up very quickly. Aren't they so very pretty.  Love them.  Thank you Betsy.

So because Betsy was kind to offer to make the wash clothes for me,  I decided to send Betsy a wee crochet flower in her favorite color of purple.  Betsy told me she really like the flower.. What do you think?? Unique, hey??

I found the pattern for the "Hyperbolic Flower" in a book called,
 "75 Seashells, Fish, Coral and Colorful Marine Life to Knit and Crochet" by

Jessica Polka. It can be found on Amazon.

These are the two Plymouth Encore Yarns I used to create the Hyperbolic Flower for Betsy.  I just love these Plymouth Encore Yarns.  

I am a newbie with crocheting and I always wonder what others favorite yarns My Fellow Crocheters may use? Thanks for your suggestions.

In the middle of the afternoon one day we discovered these 2 small fawns laying in the grass in our neighbor's yard.  They were watching as the cars past by and even a few of the cars stopped and people got out to look at them and they never moved an inch.. Now what does that tell you..

  When these cute wee fawns grow up they will be coming back to visit my garden.. I know this because their mother already does.  LOL I must get a fence soon.. 

 My sweetie and I really do love wildlife but we do not appreciate them eating in my garden.. VBG  

On Father's Day We were invited to a family meal at Bill's grand daughter's Rene's home.  Below is a photo Of Rene and her daughter Leliana.  Isn't she a sweetie.

It has been storming and raining a lot lately so I went out to rescue some of my Peonies so I could admire them a bit longer..  I just love Peonies.  They are such a gorgeous flower.

 I received a truly nice surprise in the mailbox today.. My sweetie told me it is all the way from Singapore.. huge very big smile.  I only have one dear friend Wendy who lives in Singapore and I could not image why she would be sending me anything.. 

Wendy went searching for "Sea Glass" for me.

 Wendy told me she found them at "Port Dickson, Malaysia"  (off the strait of Malacca).. 

 How very very thoughtful and kind.. I wish I could give her a big HUG!!  I love every colorful piece.. Wendy, Thank you from the bottom of my heart.  I will treasure  every colorful piece...
I can not believe I have "Sea Glass" all the way from Singapore.. Lucky Me.....

I do have plans for the lovely Sea Glass. I hope to create a piece of Wool Art this Summer and use some of the Sea Glass to embellish it.

When I was taken out the wrapped sea glass another wee wrapped gift came out with it.. 

Another very lovely gift.  Wendy is well know for her lovely tatted creations.. Inside, I found some beautiful beaded and tatted "Ear Rings" in my favorite colors.

 Oh, My Goodness I could not believe someone could create anything that small and so very creative and pretty..

Wendy has a blog called "Umi and Tsuru". Wendy also has a "Etsy shop" where she sells her lovely creations.  Thanks Wendy, you are too kind. 

My Sweetie and me went to our local Artisan Show this past Saturday.  I always enjoying seeing others artistic creations. 

When I came to the booth called "Island Sand Sculptures"   I had to admire every piece.  These artist are from Florida. This is the link to their website.  The photos keep rotating so have a good look.

We recently renovated our Master Bathroom and I decided on "By The Sea" Theme.  I have not decorated the walls yet but this lovely Sandpiper Plate will soon be up on one wall. The Florida Sand just sparkles and the Sandpiper Birds are 3D.. I love it.

In my last posting I mention that My Good Friend Jan shared a starting from her Beauty Bush. I could not resist sharing a photo with you all ofJan's Beauty Bush.

  Isn't is most Gorgeous?    It is huge and with endless wee pinkish white blooms.  YOU just have to love this bush. I just smiled and smiled when I saw it in full bloom.

 This is Me with a Big Happy Smile and all excited after purchasing My First Bit of Cascade Ultra Pima Cotton Yarn..I bought every color they had.  I think these colors are all so wonderful.. What do you think???

I am not sure what Kind of project to use this beautiful Yarn on. 
 Any suggestions?
