I made on of these for my MIL and Mom several years ago. My MIL has hers in the living room, but Mothers disappeared. I had just been thinking of making one for me, to stick out in my "container garden" area, arranged so it looks like they are playing in the dirt. Thanks for posting it and reminding me what I wanted to do! Ellie

Thanks folks! I looked it up and the photos look just like it. So far , it is growing very fast and healthy here in Los Angeles Thanks again :) You guys rock!!

LOL, no problem Danielle! I'm still learning this digital camera "thing." I've got some more pictures to share, so I'll add them here rather than start a new thread. Here are this weekend's new ones: DALLAS STAR (It was paler for me last year; I liked it better that way. Weather probably affects that. Still, it's a prolific bloomer.) FROSTED JADE (Very reliable, its color blends with everything.) GREEN EYED PAT (I'm loving this one!) MINT CONDITION (This is the first time it has bloomed for me - it was a very small fan from Wilds two years ago. I LIKE this flower, so I hope it increases well.) Laurel

Ah francy, francy.....that's mighty fancy! LOL. I leave the computer for a while and come back and lord love me you finished your apron! I LOVE your pictures....seeing the project makes this forum so much fun. Your sewing area looks very very familar...like my own... threads and "snippits" all over the table, across the floor to the ironing board and back, never mind those I wear on my clothing when I sew. This apron makes me think you should grab some of those scraps, tie them loosely in your hair with a big knot to the front, don that apron and be standing at your lovely stove banging a wooden spoon in a pot when DH arrives home tonight....You could be standing there ala Lucy....saying things like "Now look Ethel, Ricky won't believe me for a minute it took all day to make this thing..... and no housework done. I've got some serious 'splaining to do!"...... If I lived closer I could be your friend Ethel....what a duo we'd make! Now apron one is done.....get on with your "cherry" project! No wait, first go and BUY MORE fabric......only look at the price this time. Budster.
