Roses, I just love them :o)

I have a soft spot when it comes to roses. I've always loved them. When I painted on porcelain, I painted roses. Now when I'm into sewing, I just love the fabrics with roses. Soft roses, big roses, small roses. They are just so beautiful... Where we used to live, I had roses outside our house. I miss that, and I assure you I'll plant some outside here, where we're living today :o)
I painted this coffee cup back in 2001. It's standing in my sewing room, for the inspiration maybe?


Last night I did one more block for one of the quilts I'm doing. I also got to cut some pieces for three more, and I hope to get to sew them later today. I didn't get to sew more, because i just couldn't leave my knitting :O) I'm almost done with one more mitten now :O)
It's a beautiful Spring day today, with some sunshine, so I guess I'll be spending some time outside :o)

Playing som more:c)

I decided to make one more post tonight, while am into playing in Picasa. Guess I'll teach as I go :o)
This was so fun!! This is a couple of pics from my painting days. I have been painting on porcelain ealier, but when I started sewing, I just stopped doing it... I miss painting, and I have all the stuff I used for this, including my ceramic kiln, and a bunch of bins with white china/porcelain, stored away. I was thinking of starting painting again, but it doesn't mix well in the same room with my sewing. Too dusty, so trying to paint in the same room would be a disaster, and just wasted time. Everything around must be completely dust free. But I know I'll be painting again, someday:o)

Happy sewing,
Laila
