i traveled from one project to another this week...trying to get it all in...so just a little progress in each, but that's ok. eventually, each will be completed.

| a web stitch on a bit of lace. i'm told it looks like a dream catcher. |
 |
| did a bit more stitching on this piece. i thought it would be some kind of a vessel but plans have changed. |
and then some dyeing using spent flowers that i bought and from the garden.
 |
| rose petals, rose leaves, cosmos |
 |
| all bundled around a tin can and ready for the dye pot |
the garden is growing since we had 4½" of rain last week. these orange bulbs went from nothing peeping out of the soil to full blooming flowers in 6 days. i could almost watch them growing, it happened so fast.

| May 25th, after a day of rain |
 |
| May 30th, in full bloom |
and almost forgot about this granny square afghan i started with a lace, variegated yarn...
 |
| trying to keep the blocks in order for a variegated look when stitched together |
we're hoping for some rain this evening. it's hot...in the 90s...and very humid. hope you're all having a good weekend and are out of harms way. lots of weather creating havoc these days.

Ha Deanna, my kind of girl ... ;-)
doing a bit of this, doing a bit of that ...
Love how the stitching is developing
Ahhhhh rain ! we couldn't do without !
Your stitching is an eclectic meandering on it's own, very delicate and i love the orange flowers, they bloomed so fast that a time lapse camera would have been fun.
I've just set one of my ipad clocks to Dallas, i can't remember - is that near you?
Can't wait to see the results of the dyeing
Someone as bad as me for having lots of projects on the go. I'm looking forward to seeing the tin can dyeing and the seed growing is amazing.

oh that dreamcatcher lace is just so delicately stunning and the stitching on the now not a vessel piece is exquisite!
I always find the bundles of cloth so appealing. The way they are tied, mini parcels of gorgeousness!
Eye candy! The picture of the lace squares ~ art! I love how you are using the variegated yarn.
This sounds so familiar--a bit of this, a bit of that. Great work as always....,
The web is certainly lovely, although I don't know about dreamcatchers, so I can't comment on that!
oh, deanna- so much here, as always! i'm way behind on blogs, too....tis the season. i'm imagining windows covered with cloth such as your first image- what amazing curtains they would be!
You have been busy! The highlight of all of your work, for me, is the cobwebby dreamcatcher piece. You can't see how you have created it, which is amazing.
Have another crafty week.
I'm jumping for project to project as well. I love your crochet blocks. The color is so delicate and soft - Hope you got that rain you were waiting for - Hugs Nat
interesting bulbs!
the knit cloth piece is still my fave.
Hi, Deanna. Your lace and stitching projects are just so lovely. A little bit at a time--I tend to work in the same way. Lovely flowers, too!
best, nadia
Your 'dream catcher' is fabulous!! I'm ready to settle down and get focused!
Love all your photos!
Hope you got some more rain!
Happy weekend to you as well!
