~When the Scrap Basket is Full...Go Raggin'!~

Good Morning All! As I was packing up my sewing room for this move, I found that I had so many scraps of fabric that were way to small to use for quilts or pillows...but big enough to keep! Oh yes, I'm a fabric hoarder! (wink) I organized all of the scraps into a big basket that my dear friend Vicki made for me. Everytime I make something and have little cuttings of fabric leftover..into the basket they go! When the basket is chock-full, it's time to make a rag rug! This rag rug will be tied and locker hooked with a pretty pink & white carnation in the middle. I love rugs, and it is so hard to find pretty, rugs that don't cost a fortune. This is a wonderful craft to use up scraps and create something unique, excersise old Arthur, and easy to do while watching a good movie!
What do you do with your scrappy's?
Blessings~

~If You Know...........~

Good Friday Morning Friends! Say..I was just wondering if anyone knows what this flower is? It so pretty! Lacey, open and it smells wonderful! The lavender color is just gorgeous, but it doesn't smell like lavender at all. It kind of has a sagey smell. It is in my garden, and bloomed very late, in fact it bloom only 2 weeks ago! As I am discovering so many new flowers and plants these days, I find a unique loveliness in each petal, leaf and color. Since we have moved to Iowa, I have found wildflowers in abundance! They are very pretty indeed! I love to stand back and look at the helter skelter of a wild flower garden, but I'm not able to actually live with helter skelter! I prefer order and seperateness in my garden, so that each flower stands out in its uniqueness.

When we moved in, the weeds had taken over this beautiful plant...in fact I thought it was a weed and started to remove it. My husband stopped me, he said he liked the look of the greenery. So we kept it. Because my Sweetie liked it, it has become one of my favorites! But...I don't know what it is!!! So, if you know could you please share with me? Blessings All~
