Seed Catalogs And A New Year...


Punch Needle Embroidery by Rose Clay at ThreeSheepStudio.com

I'm looking forward to beginning 2015 with some
fresh ideas.  A year filled with inspiration.
A blank slate to fill.
A year that is sometimes in my control,
but more often not.

A year with just enough "trial and error"
to make a difference -
to stretch me and give me a new perspective...
and to be able to gracefully accept  
all that the coming year has to offer.

As the seed catalogs begin pouring into
my mailbox, I am now dreaming of Spring Flowers.
(Such a hard decision to try and narrow down
the selection of "new flowers" 
to be added to the gardens in the Spring.)

Beautiful Valdani variegated colors,
waiting to come to life.

All coming together like a breath of fresh Spring air.
(oops, someone pinch me,
it is still waaaay cold out there !!)

As you go forward into 2015,
I wish you a creative and healthy New Year !

  3. Happy New Year to you as well. Just yesterday I was sitting on my back porch (with winter coat, gloves and scarf) planning for the next season! I think the Pa. girls have like minds. As always Rose, love your work and your color selection. Beautiful.

  8. I'm afraid to look at seed catalogues when the temps are so low--my ambitions outgrow my time and gardeners back!
