that I built outside
my greenhouse/potting shed.
Flowers picked from
the garden.
These are from the
garden, but look
at the sweet cozy
wrapped around the jar . . .

A handmade gift
from a dear friend.
I am blessed!
I wanted to make
something simple
but cute for the garden.
So, I went to my
scrap bin.
Yellow is so cheerful :)
Little yellow flags . . .
putting on a happy face 😎
You already saw them once,
but I'll just show them again.
These were gifted me by
lovely friends that stopped by
this week to see how
I was faring with my back.
🌸🌻🌹🌻🌸
I'm happy to say that even
though I'm still in
a lot of pain, I am
seeing an improvement each
and every day :)

slow and steady :)
Again,
Happy Mother's Day!
"You should be known
for the beauty that comes from within,
the unfading beauty
of a gentle and quiet spirit,
which is so precious to God."

Your blogging sister,

I WILL be the first to comment Connie! I love this post! Happy Mother's Day to you too dear lady. I want to come "build with you" (not just quilt with you!)... I love that darling bench. I need to work place to make things. I don't know why I don't build things as I've always loved wood and playing with it. I actually took a woodworking course in college and made a big large set of bathroom cabinets, but never did finish them! Never went back as we had a spell of super icy weather during that term of school and missed the last couple of classes. I've built a few small things.. but sure love that bench! You never cease to amaze me! I hope you aren't hurting your back "more" by doing those things. I pray you are Ok and no damage to a vertebra. Heat and ice will be your friends, that's for sure! The little jar cozy is adorable too. You are lucky to have such sweet friends there close to you! Hugs to you... Marilyn
ReplyDeleteYes, I made the bench, but before hurting my back. I'm glad you like it. You've made cabinet's . . . You're the true woodworker, I'm impressed.
DeleteThanks for posting on my blog for FFFs. Your roses are lovely. And so is the yellow flag wreath. Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to you too and thanks for popping in to say hello.
DeleteYou are the most crafty lady I know. There just doesn't seem to be anything you can't do. Love your cute little flags. Happy Mother's day to you also.
ReplyDeleteDitto, you're pretty crappy yourself 🥰
DeleteOh, I love that garden bench and the decorations and the little yellow flags you made for it! Such a sweet place. And your flowers are so pretty, and I love the little jar cozy your friend made for you. You truly are blessed! I'm glad your back is starting to feel better. Take your time and let it heal before you try to do too much. Looks like spring is in full swing there. Enjoy peaceful days.
ReplyDeleteThank you Pamela. I've been feeling the love from all the prayers. Each day I'm getting a little bit stronger ♥️
DeleteOh, dear, sweet Connie. I'm so behind in blog posts. With all that was happening with Mom, I didn't even open my computer for weeks on end. I didn't know about your back. I hope it will soon be completely better. Praise the Lord you had friends with you who were able to care for you and get help as needed. Thanking Him that nothing was broken and all will just take time to heal. And great news with your eyes too! Dennis and I both have the "beginnings" of cataracts but not recommended for surgery yet.
ReplyDeleteYour garden bench is beautiful and I love the little yellow flags. Your home is so cozy and cheerful. You make it a wonderful place to visit. We don't have flowers quite yet, as winter held on longer than usual but it is warming up now and it won't be long. I'll be praying for you my dear sweet friend.
Blessings and love,
Betsy
Betsy, I always get excited when you visit. I do wish we would have discovered each other before the COVID scare and your move back to Omaha from Spokane. I am thankful for blogging, it is a wonderful way to keep in touch and to make and treasure dear friends. Thank you for your prayers.
DeleteAll very lovely, and the flags just make it perfect!
ReplyDeleteYou're just about the sweetest thing in blog land. If we lived closer to one another I would show up on your doorstep with cake and you can make us a pot of tea :) this time of year is so wonderful to be outside soaking up the sunshine and even better when you can do it with a friend.
DeleteSunshine is so good for the body and soul. I'm glad you're feeling a bit better and hope the improvement continues. And what lovely friends you have to bring you these pretty things.
ReplyDeleteI am truly blessed with some wonderful friends. 🥰
DeleteLove that cute bench you made.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you back is improving!
Thank you, I'm most definitely feeling the love and prayers from all of my dear friends. The bench I built several years ago, but this year I added the picket fence back and painted it white.
DeleteThe bench you made looks great and the bunting makes it even prettier. Happy Mother's Day to you too.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your back is healing. Hopefully soon it will be as good as new :)
Thank you, you are so kind.
DeleteI'm pleased you are slowly improving after your accident. Happy Mothers Day to you as well. I received a phone call from my son, who lives in Christchurch in the South Island, and we t out to lunch with my daughter. So I've had a lovely day. Pretty flowers, and nice yellow bunting for your seat!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to hear that you had a lovely Mother's Day if anyone deserves a day filled with love and joy it's you dear friend. God bless you.
DeleteI'm so sorry that you are suffering from back pain. I hope it starts to feel better very soon. I love your little garden bench. It looks so inviting and cheerful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Debi, for your caring heart and for your sweet compliment 😊
DeleteLovely pictures! Best wishes for Mother’s Day and I hope that your back pain improves quickly. Be sure to relax.
ReplyDeleteI've been relaxing and medicating with Tylenol and ice cream 😊
DeleteHope you had a nice relaxing day sitting on your pretty bench, love your little banner you made to dress it up. Glad to hear you are having improvement on your back too, just take things easy :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Connie. It certainly has slowed me down.
Deletelove love the creative bench and banner, Connie. Great use of recycling those extra pieces of wood lying around. Continued progress on your healing of your back♥
ReplyDeleteThank you, it's been a week and a half since my fall and I am just now starting to feel better. It was pretty rough there for a while. Thank you for caring.
