Very pretty. We had a lovely vase of roses in the office reception this week, the perfume was heavenly, so you must be enjoying your garden.

Ohhhhh I love that one too Lyd! I remembered the one in your bedroom and really liked that one also! (you should post a pic of it) I have an old 6 pane window in our bedroom,no glass, no paint and weathered, that just has greenery and fake peach roses twined around it. I have been thinking of this old window in the garage since I painted the kitchen and just didn't know what to do with it. I just did a search for "coffee shop signs" and got some ideas, now *IF* I can find things to do it with is another story....got to keep my eyes peeled.

Thanks so much for the kind words! It's nice to get nice comments from people outside of my family (who are obligated to say nice things). I'll try to post photos from our better camera later. On top of the hill is a red barn and silo. On the hill are some hay bales. I knew that I wanted to do a farm landscape bc that's the landscape in our area. The sky was the trickiest part, in terms of getitng it to look somewhat realistic; so, I watched a couple fo YouTube videos of "how to paint a sky." I actually re-painted the sky a couple of times to make it look right. Who knew that something that simple looking would be so challenging to paint? Before I tackled the huge painting I did a tiny (8x10) loose mock up, just to make sure that I wouldn't waste my time doing a huge version if the small one looked like hell. The small one looked ok; so, then I did the big one. It was definitely more challenging doing it on a huge scale bc when you blow things up, the lack of detail in the painting is more obvious. Anyway, the whole thing was a learning process bc as I painted and made mistakes, I figured out what didn't work and what worked better. I definitely had moments of frustration while painting it bc things just didn't look right, but I think I eventually fixed them to a point where it looked better. I found myself saying to myself several times during the process, "Why do I think that I can do this?!?" At the end of it though, I am really pleased with how it turned out. Anyway, if you are contemplating anything that seems kind of daunting, I have found that in general, if you break it up into little manageable parts, you can usually accomplish it to a passable degree. The worst that could happen is that the project fails, but in the grand scheme of life, that's not so bad. And on the flip side, you might suprise yourself!

Moni, everything you do looks good. Which reminds me, it must be time for you to post more pics of your gorgeous grandchildren. Susanjf, thanks for pointing out the pyramid corners. I love mission furniture, but hadn't made the connection. Now I know why I was drawn to the footstool. Jasdip, my furniture improvement efforts have been spotty at best--but I keep trying! Nicole, your mission (even if you don't choose to accept it) is to create a little rug for your master bath (and post pictures of course). Thanks, everyone!

They are so beautiful Michelle, and they all go well together in the vase.
I really like the two pink bottom ones, they look so delicate on the plate.
Nothing better than going out into the garden and picking a bunch for the house is there.
I must pick a new bunch tomorrow myself seeing the petals are starting to drop.
Great Pics....Cheers..MM.

Yes I receive a lot of pleasure collecting blooms for the house.
Sometimes I have a number of vases located around the house at any given time.I love it.I know people who hate cutting off the flowers and leave the blooms on the plant, but I think its such a waste to let the flowers fall to the ground.
Sure- you cant collect them all but its wonderful to have them in the house.

I am really looking forward to the day when I can pick a bunch of roses like yours, that is to dream about.
At the moment I leave them on the bush as there are not many of them and they look great out there.

Yes ginnybee--
I am always thinking -leave them on the bush- they look great but then they get tatty and wind beaten.Although its nice to look at the garden when there are lots of blooms. If you do cut them off regularly the new blooms come back fast.
Thanks goldhills
cheers
Michelle
