Fiesta, Rouge, Berries, and Jewels

Today I’ve uploaded and opened the rest of the batch of 16 flowers that I’ve recently completed. They don’t really combine together into any themes, they’re just wonderful beauties on their own.

While I was thinking of this flower on Monday which was Cinco de Mayo, I wasn’t able to get it up in time. Fiesta Lily is the perfect flower for a Mexcian celebration. The vibrant colors and fun petals would fit in perfectly on a table full of fajitas and la cervezas. This year we didn’t go out to celebrate, or even buy yummy themed food to cook. But we did enjoy some Pacificos on the deck.

The next bouquet is Pink Rouge. This was another one I had a hard time naming. These are new flowers that just fit together after I’d made them. It’s a small bouquet with all the flowers on the petit side. The colors are really different shades of red even if some of them venture closer to pink.

Berry Delight could have fit into the so good you could eat them, but I had trouble photographing it. So it’s just now being posted. Older flowers that found their way to fit together into a nice bouquet. The purple lily is actually accented with pink, it’s hard to see in the pic.

Finally there is Jewels. This was the first mini table bouquet I made. The colors are all jewel tone using silver lined beads. Although small this piece has a ton of color and would not fade or get lost on a desk full of papers.

That’s all my newly finished pieces. They were fun to group together to show in my blog. I haven’t been doing a lot of beading lately. I’ve been more working in the yard. My squash plants are all planted in the garden now. I planted them a week or so ago and then we had a frost. So I put some more seed out there and am hoping they’ll sprout soon. We’ve been out buying a some flowers for the yard, the other day I was out working in it past dark. Right now is really the best time to be working, the mosquitoes haven’t started coming out yet. This weekend we’re going to finish up some painting around the house. I think then we’ll be done painting for a while. We have a couple more things on our list but we’ll see how it goes. Gotta have some fun too, all work and no play is never good!
