Peeking in the Garden

Ok I admit it I am standing out in my garden and yard trying to peek at the new irises that are blooming. Wondering if it is all nice purple or if there is a shade of white or maybe it is full of those lovely strikes of white. Of course my garden is full of odd colors. My hubby thinks we should only buy the normal colors and I am a lover of all things odd maybe that's why I am married to him. He might keep me grounded. We are having a lovely slow show of irises this year. The peonies in the yard are still tight and may not bloom until the end of this month. Of course we have a lot of bushes of peonies. My hubby grows a lot of different kind of flowers.
I have been crafting to many paper items and finding myself wanting to do something with cloth. I do need to sew myself some summer clothes. Think I will do some minor designer touches to the clothes like cross stitch around the collar. Do also need to finish up some old projects like quilts and other things waiting in piles in the studio. I did do a lot of teabag folding the other day. It is interesting starting with a simple square that is pattern or colored and folding it up to make some interesting star or octagon shapes.
With the high cost of gas we are still traveling but not as often. I will be hitting next weekend two town garage sales and an auction. It means I need to travel fast through each garage sale. Of course that is not the first time I have done that. I will have to blog some time my fun at garage sales. Of course it is a good thing that I can look fast. I went to the mother of all garage sales that had over 300 booths. Make for lots of walking and looking fast.
