{SERENE SUNDAY} Scroll down for Giveaway Information-

These are quick shots taken from my bedroom window overlooking the small vegetable garden in our back yard.

The two birds are doves sitting on the trellis upon which the pole beans are climbing.  Tomatoes on the vines are about the diameter of a quarter or slightly larger and my husband are eagerly awaiting for them to mature.  There is nothing better for me than to pick a tomato off the vine, rinse it off immediately and slice it for a tomato sandwich!

One thing about growing your own vegetables, one does not have to worry about toxic substances on the vegetables, or germs being shared by others (from handling from one person to the other).  We keep a birdfeeder, with a water source, next to the garden.  The multitude of birds that frequent our garden keep the bugs off the vegetables.  Summer is approaching!

Vegetables planted in our garden: Bell peppers, Better Boy tomatoes, Kentucky Wonder pole beans, Ichiban eggplants, Clemson Spineless okra, red potatoes, crookneck squash, and more to come!

~:~ Marvelous Monday ~:~

It is raining! Just that fact makes my day so wonderful.  


What am I doing? I am listening to music by Annie Lennox and working on a new embroidery design.  I am also in the process of getting together a case for iPhones, etc., as suggested by a follower. I do not have an iPhone, but sure can use a new case for my cell phone.  In fact, I am thinking of making a new purse with matching zippered pouch and cell phone case for myself!!!  


What is with the photo?  This is a shot of one of the magnolia blooms on one of the five magnolia trees in my yard.  I love magnolias and they are in bloom now.  It is a good thing I love them as that the leaves keep us busy at a couple times of the year.  I may go out and cut a few to put in a vase in the house - they smell so good!

Giveaway

I am squeezing this announcement in as that severe thunderstorms are approaching and I am shutting down my electronics.  


I have decided to give away a denim sunglass case with a cute embroidery design of flip flops that I personally digitized.  This photo does not show the embroidery.  Embroidery and finished case will be posted tomorrow.


I monitor my elderly father who lives alone and I had to tend to matters for him today.  Please understand that I am not in a full time business with my handmade items.  I do this as an outlet for my sewing, etc.  Back to the point:  I had planned to create the case and place a photo on my blog - but life goes on and detours have to be taken.


I was requested to offer a sunglass case, and also to offer one of my JellyBean Critters.  I decided to offer the case first, and then a JellyBean next month.  Please check back and follow what you need to do to enter for a chance in the giveaway.  The winner will be announced on June 1st.
