Aren't they wonderful ! ! !
Second time they've bloomed for me since I brought them home last Fall.
+ + + + + + + + + +
Hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend.
We did.
Had an Easter Day meal with younger daughter.
We ate out. Are you surprized??? I think not,
you all know KP has been all but eliminated from my schedule.
Enjoyed our meal out with choice of
Ham, Roast Pork, Fried Chicken.
Quite a feast.
Daughter went home to mow her oh-so-tall lawn.
Hubby and I spent a relaxed afternoon doing
- - - - well, not much at all.

What I did do was bring out several knitting project bags with 'works-in-stalled-out-progress'.
Here's the one that got a bit of attention yesterday.
Patriotic cuffs for a pair of fingerless mitts.
They'll match these sox.
Doubt these will be worn on the 4th of July.

Your African violets are lovely! I can't get mine to bloom. Any tips?
ReplyDeleteI love that patriotic yarn! Happy that you had such a lovely day yesterday :-)
Just kept them damp and then a couple of weeks ago feed them some Miracle-Gro
DeleteKeeping my fingers crossed.
It's a really interesting self-striping yarn with those star-like pops
hugs
I do love African Violets!
ReplyDeleteHappiest of Easter's to you Gerry! It sounds like you had a very relaxing day.
I heard we are going into the 40's Wed. night...Yikes....I have plants in the ground!
xx
They are great houseplants and easily propagated.
DeleteHope that 40 degree over-night temp doesn't stunt growth, Tracey.
Perhaps the ground temp will be the saving grace.
hugs
Spring is beautiful!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just so green?
DeletePretty flowers. Easter lunch out sounds wonderful. I cooked but it was nice too. Fingerless mitts will be ready in time for 4th of July even though you won't wear them on that holiday.
ReplyDeleteAs crazy as our weather has been, it could happen ! ! !
DeleteMust be the season for the violets to start blooming again. I noticed a bud or two on my this morning. I was about to give up on them every blooming again. I threatened to throw them away, maybe I scared them into blooming.
ReplyDeleteSome times it does take a raised fist to get them going. :*)
DeleteBeautiful bloom! My Grandmother had many plants on a little in an east window. Hers were purple. I really like the bright rose color of yours.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I LOVE those patriotic cuffs!
African Violets are as varied as Tulips in their color and shapes.
DeleteWould love to have one of each, Greedy, Greedy.
Your African Violet is gorgeous, Gerry. My brother used to be an avid grower of them....his were so pretty, too. I, on the other hand, couldn't get one to grow for anything! :o(
ReplyDeleteAnd...I love those sox....such great yarn. Those will be fun to wear anytime!
XOXO,
Cyndi
Ron and I have propagated them via the leaves and had a number of plants. However, some way or another I'd kill them off one by one.
DeleteOops, I meant to say, I love those cuffs for your fingerless mitts...I just have sox on the brain! LOL!
ReplyDeleteXOXO,
Cyndi
Well at this point these cuffs could be for either
DeleteBoth sox and mitts can begin this very way
thanx for visiting
love and hugs
Girl those beautiful gloves are gonna make ya stand up and salute!!! Loved 'em and that one spectacular plant too!!!
ReplyDeleteGod bless your day sweetie!!! :o)
Those fingerless mitts are going to be just the ticket for the 4th but for the heat and humidity - I may pass and bring 'em out later in the year :*)
DeleteThanks for stopping by
A belated happy Easter to you! They are gorgeous! Funny that your in spring and we are in Autumn! Cute knitting too! Rachael xo
ReplyDeleteNot too certain if I could live with the seasons reversed from my 'norm'. However, when we're knee deep in snow I could dream about your warm weather and green vegetation.
DeleteHowever, Autumn is my favorite time of year here in mid-Missouri.
hugs
Perfect cuffs for the 4th. Please tell me we did have a frost up north. And wow...40...bless you...
ReplyDeleteI'm not as far north as you all in Chicagoland but we did have frosty roofs this morning. Haven't heard how your area fared.
DeleteTime to shake the sand outta your flip-flops, gal.
hugs
Love that flower! Weather is warming again in NJ, thank goodness! Weekend is supposed to be in the 70's - but I'll be indoors, teaching. It figures.
DeleteRayna, at least there's a chance great weather is here now on out.
