Garden Tuesday- Another Butterfly

Found this lovely one morning in the garden. It's beautiful wings were broken. 

I know this is kinda sad but the good news is, I am attracting more and more of these pretty creatures into the yard. This one was all nestled down in my parsley. A nice hiding place.

This parsley survived the winter and has gone insane. 

Butterfly Quilt

I may have to join a support group this baby size quilt is just so much fun to make. 

This one is 27"x27"

More Recess fabric but this time the back is Kona Cotton

Maybe I am done... maybe I'm not... 

Have you been to the Bodensee?

Whatever you choose to do there, where ever you choose to go, the Bodensee is one of the most gorgeous places on earth. Bordering Germany, Switzerland and Austria it is Central Europe's third largest lake. It's my way of not missing the ocean so much. A two hour drive from Stuttgart gets you to a micro climate wonderland. Fresh fish, fruit, vegies and most of all SUN. So in the era of "stay vacation" I'd recommend it to anyone living in Southern Germany.

Mainau has a butterfly house that I could live in.





Meersburg, touristy yes, beautiful yes.
Ferrying around the lake is fun. Forced relaxation. The sights are sometimes very interesting.

This lovely seagull, tormented us most of our way around the lake. My big boy faked him out several times pretending to throw food in the water. Mean.... Nah. Funny, yes.

More later.

The other surprises

Meet Dexter and Angelica. I made them with patterns from here. Friday they will find out their new owners. So, if you haven't put a comment on my anniversary post and you would like the chance to have one of these silly things, do it now! I will randomly select three people tomorrow morning. I'm excited, are you excited?
