We had some wild weather here yesterday. Over 5 inches of rain fell and there was a lot of flooding in our area. I don't know when the weather is going to cooperate to get outside and work in the garden. I bought these gerbera daisies the other day at a farm market because the red was so striking. I had them on my windowsill in the plastic pots and they looked kind of bad and leaked every time they were watered. So when I made some pasta sauce the other night I noticed how much the label matched my flowers. They are only in there temporarily and I think look pretty nice.

All the ladies had such a good time they did not even finish the quilt top! As usual we had enough food to be there for a few days. They go all out.
We also had a mug rug swap.
Barb won mine! They couldn't have gone to a nicer person!
It was a great way to spend a rainy day. Thanks ladies for a fun day!

Love your tomato can vases. I've used pretty tea tins too for the same purpose - so cute in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteThe mystery workshop looks like lots of fun. Quilting, food and a swap, now that's a fun day!!
can you believe this rain? crazy
p.s. - lucky Barb to get your mug rug
ReplyDeleteYour workshop day sounded like the perfect antidote to the weather. Looks like Barb was pretty happy to win your cute mug rugs!
ReplyDeleteI love the gerberas in the cans. I, too, collect tins for the same purpose ~ the graphics look great with the flowers. I only wish I had windowsills. :-( None in this house.....
I think you should leave your daisy's in the cans... they look so cute.
ReplyDeleteYour cans make cute containers for the flowers. At least until you can plant them so they can grow. It has been wild and wet here too.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the mystery workshop was lots of fun. And a fun swap too. What a great day.
Your daisies look fabulous in those cans. Great labels... I'd keep them for sure. Looks like you had a really fun workshop..... love your mug rugs and so does Barb by the looks of it. :o)
ReplyDeleteI love the gerberas in the cans! That workshop with the guild looks so much fun! Do the different members take it in turns to run workshops or did you and Cheryl volunteer. The quilt really is a mystery, there's not one peek of it :) The mug rug swap is such a fun idea.
ReplyDeleteWow...I love you lil pot covers for you daisies...what a great idea!! I never thought about using a can with a pretty label for my kitchen. What a great way to spend your rainy day, food and quilting seem to go hand in hand, but NOT literally!! We always have such good food when our guild gets together too!!

I love how your daisies look! It sure looks like you and the ladies had a lot of fun. Cute mug rugs you made.
ReplyDeleteI believe that it might be unanimous about the tomato can vases, Kelly! Have fun with the mystery!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely worth staying inside on that day. And with a group of like minded people you can't go wrong.
ReplyDeleteWe have seen some photos of the creek near our son's home. There sure is a lot of water.
Gorgeous gerberas and they do look good in the tins.
Beautiful flower cans! And you sure turned our dreary Wednesday into a fun day! (We only had 4" of rain here!) Love your mug rugs, and I'm sure Barb does, too!
ReplyDeleteBarb looks very happy with good reason...those are great!
ReplyDeleteIt was really a great day. You make a great partner.
ReplyDeleteI love your flower cans! Are you sure they are temporary? Lucky Barb...
ReplyDeleteIt was such a fun day! The food and the company were great! Thanks to you and Cheryl for all your hard work running the workshop! Love the tomato cans with the flowers. You have such a good eye!
ReplyDeleteThe daisies in those cans are sooo pretty, and the labels look like works of art. Your workshop looks like it was fun for all...
