Helen Sends Garden Photos

Helen recently visited Victoria, British Columbia, and toured The Victoria Butterfly Gardens and Butchart Gardens. Helen says: I would love to go back again and again as it is open year round and would be neat to see it in all seasons. 

If you would like to look at her beautiful photos of her family and colorful fish, birds, butterflies, flowers, and gardens, please click on this link: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/sredir?uname=109212435516411952723&target=ALBUM&id=6008163079389317937&authkey=Gv1sRgCP_mw8m3sqK3nAE&feat=email.

The Butterfly Garden photos start at Slide #16, and the Butchart Garden photos start at #53.

Valerie's Bear and Blanket Reach Their New Home

Some time back, Valerie showed us this bear-and-blanket set before she popped it into the mail, bound for England. Here it is, modeled by the happy new owner, with some admiring brothers looking on.

Rita's Baby Blanket

Rita crocheted this delicate, ruffly blanket...

 

... and Valerie added the ribbon. Beautiful collaboration!
