Art washes the soul from the dust of everyday Life
How very appropriate. Creativity truly does refresh and inspiration is all around us, every day.
I do what I can to bring a bit of creativity to everyone. I am working on another painting pattern, it is the one that goes with my last post on the little stool I refurbished with paint.
I have made the video for painting the bird and now to do a step by step with photos to add to it. Then I will make the pattern available for purchase. That will be posted sometime this week. The lesson in the post and the video tutorial is still free. The pattern for the roses will be included in the pattern packet and you can just refer back to my rose painting tutorials and videos for the step by step.
I am also working on another distressed vintage type crate to share, rather like this one but painted in another color and put together slightly differently.
And the latest and greatest how to grow cottage flower feature that I said I was bringing last week but somehow failed to. It is one of my favorite cottage perennials that is a fabulous statement in any English Cottage garden.
Now that I have wet your appetite please come visit again so you won’t miss a thing!
Have great week and remember to count your blessings and give thanks.

Delphiniums are my flowers, too. I love everything about them. The roses on the stool are exceptional. I can smell them. I appreciate every post and I think you are just brilliant.

You are too kind, Ginene. I must admit roses are my most favorite thing to paint. I am nearly finished with my Delphinium post. I had to get permission from the seed company to use some of their photographs. The only unfortunate thing about Delph is they do like the water and we are going into our 4th year of drought. Water restrictions are going to be very, very tight this summer. We are already trying to devise crude grey water systems so I can have plenty of water for my ornamental plants.

Love delphiniums! I am starting from scratch and thinking about some cottage elements in my border that really needs to be very water wise. I’m sure you are facing some of those choices where you live too. Can’t wait to see your post.
Pamela says
Well, that is the shortfall of Delphs, they love the water so we are going to put in a makeshift grey water system so I have plenty of water this summer for them and the Monarda, which also loves the water.
