Hi Linda, I love all flowers and plants! I have a green thumb but even tho I knew all the African Violet 'secrets', I could never keep them blooming. I love the way the leaves lean downwards and the slightly hairy look and feel of them. I crocheted this one so wanted to show you the forever blooming African violet, lol!

Your garden is really something Linda! I'm off schedule with everyone, I don't usually get online until lunch time or after, then I'm on till very late at night. When I go to the dr I get on before i leave, so tomorrow I may have time to get on while some of you others are on. If not, I'll probably post later in the day.

Good morning ladies, I hope your Thursday is going fantastic so far. It's been a very busy week for me, so far. Working full time really cuts into the time I want to spend doing other things. Like crocheting ha. But we all have to do what we've gotta do. I have a 3-day weekend coming up and I plan to work on the major purging I'm doing in my whole house. It's so much work!
I had another fun date with Don last night. I really like him a lot. We've been going out for about a month now. After work, we picked up sandwiches for dinner and drove up the mountain to a beautiful park. The views are wonderful up there, looking down into the valley where the city is. We had great conversation and just enjoyed being together. Last week we went to a really good concert, it was a "Songwriters' Concert." Several professional songwriters came down from Nashville and performed the songs they've written. I have a lot of fun when I'm out with Don. We have a lot in common and never run out of things to talk about LOL. He's very outgoing and is always coming up with ideas for fun things for us to do.
I hope y'all have a great day!
Shelley

Good morning everyone!
It's sunny here at 69°, suppose to get in the 90's again and the wind is blowing. It was humid and sticky yesterday also. Was trying to go a bit more before starting air conditioner.
Susan, I love the violets you made! I've seen patterns but just hadn't thought about making one. I'm so busy on the farm I probably won't get much crocheting done for awhile. I just love flowers so I always try to add something new to the garden. On the patio I plant annuals in pots. I bought a coreopsis to add along the fence. Hopefully I can keep it alive so it'll come back next year. With the exception of my iris, daylilies, roses, mock orange, peonies everything was already started here.
Shelley, your guy sounds like a possible keeper;-) Hope it works out for you!
Larisa, glad you like my flowers. Stay safe!
Just got back from town. Had to get my allergy shot and mom got new lenses for her glasses. My temple piece on my glasses broke so they have a clear plastic tube and they shrink wrap it around the break. My frames were discontinued so that was the next option, because I can't afford New ones yet. It's 85° at 2pm here. Harvest will be in the next 2 wks. If we can hold off on the rain. This is a picture of the coreopsis I just added to my garden.

I am so glad you found someone you like Shelly. Hope he is a keeper. What songwriters were down there? I have a DVD of some songwriters and they were singing the songs that they had written that became famous.

Hi SusanSoulShines,
I didn't realize that you made/crocheted the African violets until I read Linda D. Mitzner's post. Then I scrolled back up to look at the pictures. You did a wonderful job.
