A rose is a rose...

Even though these roses are destined to be tossed out, I think they are beautiful.  Yellow roses have always been a favorite of mine.

Another surprise!

My little Christmas cactus which resides in my studio is blooming!  There are a number of buds waiting to pop open - makes me so happy!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!

Soon and very soon...

My Christmas cactus is bursting with good cheer!

It's that time of year again.  There's always someone on my list that is hard (impossible!) to buy for.  I like the challenge of making something instead.

Using simple materials (oatmeal box, masking tape, plaster tape, wood bead, head of industrial bobbin), I created a lovely box to hold a number of my personally designed note cards with envelopes.

Beach buds...

I came across these sweet little flowers on the beach this morning.  Someone stuck them into one of the wood pilings.  It was a nice surprise - better than the dead fish I found later on!  Red tide must be back...

Super Moon...

The super moon was a non event in Naples this morning - too many clouds.  I did take some lovely i-phone photos of the sunrise while on my walk.
