Geeze!!! I can't believe it's been over a month since I've blogged about anything.Things have been very busy at the Dimpled Quilter household. My son is getting married the end of this month; the yard needed cleanup; and the gardens needed tending. Besides, I'm not one to sit inside when the weather is gorgeous outside.
As my creative studio resides in my third floor attic space, when the weather is hot and humid, it is unbearable to do anything so, I catch up on my reading, take classes, and generally enjoy the summer months.
The pictures above are some of the beauties in my garden this past month. The peony is a prize winner named Charlie Rose; an old world peony with a great fragrance. The next picture is of Angelica; an herb with both culinary and medicinal purposes; it stands presently 4 feet high. The last pictures is of a global Alli um; part of the onion family.
On creative front, I have enrolled in an online class give by Judy Coates Perez regarding Color Theory. I admired her work from the Quilting Arts DVD and look forward to taking this class. Check out her website and blog http://www.judyperez.blogspot.com. I really like her attention to detail and her specific instructions. Her class starts on June 23 and is currently filled but she promises to offer additional classes at a later date.
My challenge to read this summer will be to finish World Without End by
Ken Follett. It is a continuation of the Oprah book club's Pillars of the Earth.
I promise to be a more current blogger but summer is here and I don't want to spend it inside in front of my computer.
