I have been getting garden work done in my new way. Sitting on a low foot stool and working for 20 minutes at a time. I can just barely not increase my pain IF I stick with this plan.

Pink and Poodle Gifts, For Me?!? Wahoo!
Hi friends! I received a surprise gift from our friend Julie. More pink fabrics for the Pink Charm Tumbler Quilt. Awesome! I now only need 29 more pink pieces of fabric.
Sweet Julie also sent me THIS!!!
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! Check out the adorable Suzy's Zoo poodle card! Just for me to use. Well Julie, I must keep it. I must. This is how I will "use" it. It will be on display in the Poodle Display Case I have shared here before. I seasonally rotate poodle cards for a SUPER display. Ha! Well, that is what I think and believe. ;) Julie made me that beaded bookmark for my Bible. THAT is awesome Julie. She also gifted me that Tin Needle Box. Julie and I both share a love of God, poodles and pink!! She has two toy poodles also. I know right?!? ;)

Of course my garden helpers are always there to assist. ;) Did you know this was our state flower? These grow wild down our street in a handful of people's lawns.(And of course in many, many other places throughout the state!) I asked a neighbor for one.(I am not a thief!) She said sure. She thought it funny. Thought this was like asking someone for dandelions. Well! I think NOT. She said I had perfect timing, as her husband tries to kill them off every Spring. Live long and prosper little violet.
Well, off to work in the garden for the second time today. Maybe not even for 20 minutes though. I just can't pull it off anymore. The sun is shining and it is mild, so I shall enjoy myself. I shall!

love all your pics...makes my heart smiles
ReplyDeletePretty pink fabrics. Are you absolutely sure that each and every one you have received is different? Or does it really matter?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card for your collection!
20 minutes at a time.. .sounds like a good plan!
I love those cute little poodle legs in the garden. Brandy is a "digger" so he's the last one you would want to help you when gardening:-)
ReplyDeleteYou're almost there with your fabrics Vickie, what a lovely selection you must have.
Isn't it amazing that all the fabrics you've received from your blogging friends have been different, Vickie! Such nice gifts from Julie and with your plan I'm sure your garden will be lovely :)
ReplyDeleteLovely gifts and pretty flowers:)
ReplyDeleteVickie - I'm so glad everything arrived safely! I was a bit worried. I'm so glad you like everything. :) You're the only person I've ever sent the poodle card to because I knew you would appreciate it as much as I do. lol
ReplyDeleteI love your flowers! How gorgeous! Praying as always!
Blessings - Julie
That little sweetheart is so cute.
ReplyDeleteLove the pink fabric you received, the Bible bookmark is beautiful.
Love the poodle card.
The flower is so unusual I have never seen this before.
Many Blessings
Catherine
Love your Bird Girl.
ReplyDeleteYou have gotten so many lovely pink fabrics!! Isn't that fun???
ReplyDeleteI love all your gifts and card, too! I know your garden will be lovely--and I also love those checkered lilies!!
What lovely gifts! The pink fabrics are so beautiful and you are getting so close! It will be so much fun to remember all of your special friends every time you look at all the different pink fabrics. I absolutely love violets....this one is so pretty and I love your garden pics too. Happy Spring.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet gift! Love your garden, but I'm sorry to hear it's so hard for you to work in the garden for any length of time. I have to say I don't think my hips would allow me to do such work either. You know you are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI love fritillaria - they are such pretty wildflowers and worthy of respect!
ReplyDeletelove all those pinks and cute poodle card ... and awwww the wee wood violet is gorgeous ... hope you managed to get a wee bit more done on the garden ... did some myself the other day too :) can't tell now though ...lol love mouse xxxx

Hello Vickie,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you're nearly there, only 29 more to go! :) Lovely gifts, enjoy!
Your violet is so sweet, I would cherish it too ...
Your poodle has pretty legs, by the way, hihi!
Have a nice day in the garden,
love Carolien
The wood violet is really pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely that you are getting short bursts of pleasure in working in the garden.
A lovely parcel that arrived for you.
xx
What nice gifts from your friend.
ReplyDeleteI have those violets all over my backyard. I hate mowing because I think they're so pretty. I have dandelions all over my front yard, lol. Feel free to help yourself to either one. ;-)
This is the perfect card for you!! It must have been in a special display in the shop with little flashing light and a huge sign saying FOR VICKIE!!!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet to send you more pink fabric :)
The poodle card is so cute.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty State Flower.
Enjoy your goodies! They look lovely :D
ReplyDeleteDear Vickie ,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful gift, the substances are also quite to my taste and the pearl necklace for your Bible is a very nice idea . The checkered flower fascinates me , this way I do not know . God bless you, your Sandra
What a perfect poodle for you ahaha! I can just imagine your squeal of delight when you found that!! :D
ReplyDeleteI am like your neighbor, amused at the violet request! It's surprising that you don't have any in your yard. Maybe this one will spread~ And those checkered lilies are ones I have never seen before! Do they eventually point up?
I admire you, Vickie, for continuing your gardening through difficulty. The fresh air, sunshine, and soil, while making you sore, also are restorative. Do as much as your body tells you, then sit and enjoy the beauty. :)
ReplyDeleteMore lovely fabrics! This patchwork really will be made with love.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card too, perfect for your display.
Lovely pictures Vickie thanks for sharing them xx
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of Julie to send you all those goodies on top of the pink fabbies!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures from your garden. And enjoy the sweet gift from Julie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a super gift from Julie! I wish I could get around to sending you the pink fabbys but I keep getting sidelined! Your garden is coming along just fine, considering spring is just now arriving! Hugs!
