    Dag nab it! My fabric is in storage!!! I love florals, too!
    The new wood floors are down in the living room, family room, dining, & hallway; the new master bath floor tile sparkles; with the exception of my desk, 2 chairs, a daybed & a few needed kitchen & bathroom items, this house is empty; the walls & woodwork are painted & so are the front & back doors (new kickplates, too) and the garage frames; no grime or grease in the kitchen either!; the bathrooms gleam; the realtor's sign is in the yard with an open house on Saturday. Please pray for us! I'm really quite tired!
    Hope to join this fabulous swap again in the fall!!! Red, ROCKS!
    hugs,
    dj

    DJ I don't know how the market is where you live, but it is beyond INSANE up here. There isn't enough inventory and people are getting more than their asking price! I hope that happens to you, you deserve some sewing time.

    We look forward to having you back again soon
    Good luck!

    have4: me, too! But it will open up possibilities I bet.....

    One of my favorites is Mary Chapin Carpenter's album Ashes and Roses, about life's low and lower valleys …. comforting and hopeful. Another one that comes to mind is the Pete Seeger song "Where have all the flowers gone", remodeled by Joe Hickerson and popularized by many (Peter, Paul and Mary; Kingston Trio; Johnny Rivers etc.). More will come to mind as I cut floral charms …. hopefully more uplifting.

    Has anyone tried to make the folded orgami flowers out of fabric? I wonder if the charms would be too small for those? They are adorable!

    Red, I am a realtor in Phoenix area and we have the same thing happening. Low inventory and well priced homes are going very quickly for more than asking price. Hope it goes well for you, DJ!

    Don't know why this is the first thing I thought of....

    Tip Toe Through the Tulips Is that even a song, or words to one??

    A book I thought of is, A Secret Garden

    For a movie - Flowers in the Attic comes to mind, but I've never seen it.

    First one: "Rosebud"
