Confused?!

I have been busy working the past two weeks and haven't noticed much in our yard. The weather has been so nice and warm but I just know that winter isn't over. I usually wait until March to work in my flower beds, so I don't give much attention until then. This morning as I was leaving something caught my eye. I was a bit confused. Flowers blooming in January?!

 This is one of several irises that I have blooming in my front flower bed. These flowers normally bloom in spring....not in January. After I got home, I went out and took a few pictures.

 I was surprised that these gerber daisies have survived.  Looked pretty good considering the time of the year.

 Pansies thrive in cool weather so these are suppose to be pretty now. I love their little smiling faces.

Here is another random flower blooming outside. I was amazed at how many things were blooming and our trees are budding. I know that we will have more cold weather and there goes the flowers. After I took the pictures this morning, we had major storms move through our area. I don't know if any of the blooms survived. I can't wait until spring officially arrives!

ETC

OK, I admit I am not very disciplined with making posts on my blog. I would like to say that my family and I had a wonderful Christmas and January has been busy. I work nine weeks out of the year and three of those fall during this month. It is hard to believe that we are already to January 22!

I have been working on t-shirts this past week.

Our grandson, Stuart, will be one year old in February and I needed to work on a shirt and bib for his birthday. In Louisiana we never know what the weather will be like, so I went with long sleeves.

 His mom is using owls and I found this fabric at a local store. Not what I really wanted, but it was available.

 I chose a cupcake with chocolate icing for his bib. I know he will enjoy eating his cupcake! Stuart loves food.

 Shortly after Stuart's birthday we have Valentines Day and of course Nana needed to do a shirt for him. I loved this little plane and heart.

 I want to apologize about the string of fish pictures. These two shirts are for twins. I really liked the design and plan on using it a lot this spring and summer.

Have a great week and I hope all is going well for you and yours!
