Sorry things have been very sporadic around here. Because i can't seem come up with any reasons not to relax a little after my birthday celebration.
I haven't been grabbing my camera as much lately either, well, until the other day when i found these loveliness ~ cherry blossoms. It's for a new project i plan to start soon, I'm just beginning, and i have a loooong way to go, but i'm excited. Let's just say there's going to be lots of weekend cutting and sewing around here.
Hope your weekend was full of good times. I had a lovely few days hanging out soaking up the last bit of time before a new week arrived. My best girl Adeline and i spent a wonderful saturday shopping around Chinatown and we have all kinds of fun things. I forgot to grab my camera....a total bummer! Chinatown was quite a beautiful sight with lots of red decorations and goodies for the upcoming Chinese New Year festival.
I've got a pretty busy week ahead of me now that i'm back in action with list-making and crafting until my eyes hurt. Hope your week is off to a great start, sweet friends!
Love to you and yours!
More soon!
BEAUTIFUL! thanks for sharing!

Hi! What stunning cherry blossom pictures, just gorgeous! I have not been taking my camera with me as much lately too, I feel the need to just relax and take it a little easy in these first weeks of the new year. I wish that we could have seen some glimpses of your trip to China town though, I'm sure it was really beautiful! xo

Blooms + Pink = My Favorite! ;o) These are sooo LOVELY, Jacqueline--and can't wait to see what you'll be doing with these. I've been playing a bit with flowers made of cotton fabric in a vintage-style--very pretty. I feel a great need for flowers just now--we're still knee-deep in winter, everything covered with snow! As a result of all the snow and it being very cold I've not been venturing out & about as much as usual, so fewer photos at my place too. Wishing you happy, creative days, my friend ((BIG HUGS))
