Flowers by mail

Today I planted some Poppies in our garden - what a wonderful flower - and meanwhile I tried to imagine how all our flowers will look like, when they have grown some more.... Pictures from last spring and summer pop up in my mind.

I got all carried away and had to have more pretty plants. The ones you see above will come to our house by mail. Isn't that smart?

It's a shop called Staudefeen which will send them. I never knew that those kind of shops existed before my sweet neighbour linked to some. She knows SO much about plants and gardening, and used to write about it on her blog Frøken Solhat. Sadly she doesn't blog any more.

I will be prepared to go get the flowers!! They have to be picked up at the post office the same day - or the day after - they arrive.....so they don't dry out.

New patterns

I finally got these patterns today. I ordered them online at Stof 2000 because I needed a good pattern with short sleeves.

I had hoped to recieve them Saturday, but didnt. I know that it's only patterns, but I was so disappointed, because I had been looking forward to start sewing during the weekend. But now they are here...

The green one is for children and the purple one for grownups. I like the fact that each pattern is actually 3 different dresses/tunics. That's especially great if the tunic becomes a favourite of mine!

I picked this dotty fabric with birds for the first tunic. I adore that fabric - it's sweet but not too sweet, more kind of elegant.

The pattern is very easy to sew, so I assume that it will be done in a few days. Hopefully....

Colours in front of my house

I have a good look at these Tulips every time I walk by them in our front garden.

They look so amazing at the moment. - especially because the blue and purple flowers behind them, bring out their beauty even more.

I can't get myself to take them inside in a vase....I would not enjoy them as much as I do outside.

So they live on in their little group, untill the day the wind blows off their red and mighty heads....
