simply Thursday
I am off to patchwork today. I haven't been in ages but with my creative juices flooding, then I am off to sew. It is customary to take a small gift to the hostess and I have 6 eggs from my chooks, a few lemons of my tree and I am going to pick a bunch of sweet smelling violets. Don't you just love this simple flower? Most say that they love roses and all those other old fashioned plants and often the humble violet is over looked ahhh but the perfume! see you when I get home and don't forget to give Peggy a hug and to pray for rain in Kansas xo

I hope you have a good time at patchwork. Mmm fresh lemons off your tree and six fresh eggs, well if I was hosting the patchwork class and received that, a lovely lemon meringue pie would be the result and I would save you a slice! I am really overwhelmed by your kindness in making me the Pixie piece and still can't get over the essence of Pixie that you have caught. I feel honoured. Love and Hugs xx
Have a fun time:-) What a delightful basket you are bringing the hostess...I know I would be thrilled with it!! You are such a kind and caring person:-) *HUGS*

Sharing is caring..you care much! "Chooks" I have never heard that word?You have your very own lemon tree!!!
Violets are beautiful, I planted some in our cool bed, I hope they'll thrive!
Your eggs look gorgeous, I long for my own chickens!
Such a terrific hostess basket! Hope you have a wonderful time.
I am sure the day was wonderful and you enjoyed the creativity of it all and I am sure the host would have loved very much the gift you took her, I know I would have.
My grandfather had an orchard up in the adelaide hills he grew cherries and before him his father his mother used to make up bunches of violets and take them to the markets and out the front of parliment house to sell the bunches and then my grandfather grew them also in the winter.
all my life we had to go up there and pick violets and put them in bunches and but leaves around the edge then tied them with flax leave stripps and dip them in a bucket of water and pack tehm ready for the market I cannot tell you how cold that work was and how I hated it yep even remember 98 flowers to a bunch!
BUT........I still to this day LOVE the smell of those sweet little purple flowers.
hope you do not mind me sharing a long story with you.
