Being realistic
Remember those Christmassy mini-quilts I was making? That I was going to give to pretty much everyone I know? Yeah, they’re still sitting in a pile next to my sewing machine, half-quilted.

Even after all these years, I still find it slightly fascinating that someplace that feels as exotic as Wales has the same flowers that I have in my backyard (although mine bloomed about a month ago.) You have Texas flowers!!! 😉
