overnight spring magic...

the bohemian, despairing of spring ever arriving, had retrieved the dormant pots of her two red lion amaryllises from the dark nether regions of winter storage, put them on her kitchen windowsill, and began to water them. watching with joy and anticipation, as they grew visible inches every day, she waited... in the dark of one bohemian night, the miracle began to unfold... first one... and then the other... wonder and beauty, in CAPITAL LETTERS!!! (and to confess, she doesn't even really like the color red. but THESE red beauties brought sunshine to her kitchen, when the solar sun was lurking somewhere hidden behind gray and lowering clouds!!) and hmmm.... not liking the color red so much, she turns it into a spring card... well, her justification was... it's more orange-y than red. right? isn't it so?... this card was her "office supply" challenge. (paper clips that came with those lovely paper tabs & brads...uh huh!) this card (see the spring theme....? she has spring fever BAD!) was a "fiber" challenge. she tried to use it in a way she never has before. so she made the stem and leaf out of it. well, okay. may April showers bring you May flowers. orange-y red hugs and flowery wishes to you all...

  1. Pretty amaryllises (amarylli?)--mine did nothing interested this year. Nice green leaves, but they never did flower, boo! Glad spring has arrived in your neck of the woods!
