MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS

A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

Mumblings

This flower is some sort of peony - another one of the 'donated' plants we have in our garden.

Today we are going to pick up #2 son and his fiance (they got engaged last weekend!) and also 49 copies of 'THE BOOK'.  At the rate we're going with selling them, they might have to go into a second printing.  Who would have known so many people would be interested?  

Still working on the huge studio re-arrange of 2010.  Next on the agenda is to remove all the books from that shelving unit and move it.  While I'm at it, I'll take a good look at each book and try (key word is 'try' - VERY difficult for a bookaholic!!) to downsize my collection somewhat.  Yah, right.

  1. OH!!! Lucky you---that is a fern leaf peony (I don't think they are in the tree peony family...not sure); they are EXPENSIVE. I always wanted one but figured my soil here would probably do it in, and the ones I really *liked* all were around $30 each.....
    Needless to say, I am happy with my free old fashioned varities! LOL!!!
    It is absolutely lovely... :)

    XXOO!!

  4. Congratulaltions to your son and your almost DIL. Next thing will be grandbabies not of the feline family.
    Thats when the fun begins.

    Congratulations on your book. I thought you were just publishing it for family nd did not realize we have a real live selling author out there. Maybe you should try and get it into the hands of some publishers.
    You never know. I might be saying I knew her when.

    I too saw Robins free download of her first book and went through it today. It is very generous of her. I think I have all but that one.

  5. Congrats on the book doing so well.
    Love the peony, we can't grow them here, but have hibiscus.
    I'm rearranging my studio too. What a chore!

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
