I love how daisies project sunshine even when its cloudy.
We were expecting thunderstorms with heavy rain over the long weekend, but surprisingly never had a single drop. Apparently that particular storm missed us by about a hundred miles. It was however, cool and gray with glimpses of blue sky. Perfect gardening weather.
There was a fair amount of puttering that happened too, mixed with movie watching (The Water Horse was quite enjoyable), some home cooking, a three day game of Monopoly spread out across the floor, chocolate-chip cookie baking (and munching), a backyard BBQ, and a little crafting.
A new foal has joined the menagerie! I think I'm finally getting the needle-felting down. Fewer needle jabs to the fingers anyway.
One more glance at my sunny inspiration.
Enjoy!
Water Horse... Netfliks. Done. I was wondering about that one, thank you.
I love to renew my delight in a flower... and you have made these daisies new again!

Ouch. needle jabs...I really don't like it when I get those...they send shivers up my spine! Your foal is very cute :o) I love the daisies as well. They are so cheery, I can't understand who some people would consider them weeds! Crazy!

The foal is so precious! I just want to snuggle up to him!

That field of daisies is so beautiful and has stayed with me all day today. I keep thinking what a lovely setting for a wedding it would make. I carried daisies on my wedding day.
That top photograph is so sunny and cheerful, Vicki. I love your foal!

I have resisted needle felting because I have sooooooo many projects going, but.....your work is precious! I am going out today to get some felting needles (and some bandaids).

O.K. so our Weekend was terribly wet... so much so I think that it seeped into my brains... you said that there was a new Foal... so I'm looking, looking... and finally in the comments section it dawns on me.. you mean the cute one you made... not a living, breathing, neighing one! O.K. well I've caught up now! LoL
Your right Water Horse was really good... we agreed so much so that we bought a previously viewed copy from BlockBuster on their 3 for $20 sale...
Have fun... Your daisey's are really pretty, very summery.

Very cute! I love needle felting. I posted a home movie on my site of me making a needle felted sheep. This is to help newbies get into this wonderful craft. Check it out at: http://www.kimchatel.com/Felt_Movie.html

Love the little felted pony. The whole grouping with the daisies is very pretty.
