A New Repurposed Book and Flowers

at 7/08/2011 08:36:00 AM Blog Owner Vicki Holdwick
It is another beautiful morning and we are hitting the road in a couple of hours. I must say sleeping in a queen bed with three little girls didn't work out very well. I started out crosswise along the foot of the bed and when they finally went to sleep I moved to the couch. We will have a king sized bed at the condo so hopefully it will work out better.


Yesterday I finished another repurposed book and I really love this one. What do you think?







I also spent a bit of time out in the yard taking pix and couldn't resist this one. I have one almost like this framed and hanging in my art room, but I am still drawn to these.




I also took a picture of a plant I don't recognize and the hubster couldn't tell me what it is either. Do you know?








I think I'd better get a move on. The girls are still sleeping and I need a shower and haven't packed yet. We are planning to leave around 10. I'll tell you all about it on Monday and hope to have lots of pix to share.

xoxo

    that plant looks so pretty, but I have no clue what it is.

    It looks like a chive seed head - or some other kind of Allium (onion family)

    Great sketch .... I know you had fun on your trip (the benefit of catching up), and the photo is beautiful. I don't know what the plant is, either. hugs, nancy
