Red and White Dahlia


Red, white and yellow (originally uploaded by DorsetBirder on Flickr)

Scheepers! I'm just crazy about this red and white dahlia. Actually I might be a bit crazy about dahlias in general, but this one in particular. I love how the white looks a bit like an accident.

Too bad the only thing I can keep alive and blooming are pentas. I would be too scared to attempt a dahlia because its tragic wilting and slow death would break my heart.

Denyse Schmidt


Denyse Schmidt is all that and a jar of cookies when it comes to quilting. Color, shape, form, she has it all figured out. And I bet she's an HTML wiz too. Probably even get one of these blogs right in one of her first three tries. Anyway, this, her very own tulip design, and so many many more can be found at: www.dsquilts.com/co_tulip.html

3 Easy Steps

To M & A:
Step 1. Add something to this blog, I'm getting lonely.
Step 2. Go to the auction on Friday and buy these bowls.
Step 3. That's it I guess.

Soon to be on my wall?

I hinted to someone that I wanted this print from Cricket Press
We'll see if he got the hint.

This poster is from the Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum. Besides having prints for sale they also host wood type printing and letterpress workshops. How fun would that be?!

Calexico

So last weekend we went to Austin City Limists Festival
Calexico was amazing as were The Flaming Lips
But Calexico wins on account of cute-ness.
This cool poster is from http://www.thesmallstakes.com
