Stitching In My Garden

All Designs Are Copyright Protected copyright 2012 Jeannie Baumeister

It's a beautiful morning in my garden and I am happy to be stitching a baby dress.

I am making a little pink smocked dress from my pattern Baby's Smocked Layette.  This will be a gift for my neice  - she requested pink.  That's easy!!

It's early morning and I'm have a special cup of tea.

What makes this tea special?  Well, it's Rose Tea, sent to me from Portland by my sister.  I have discovered that I love it!!  The aroma of the tea really smells like roses.  It's wonderful.  And the taste of the tea is delicate and light. 

I am eager to see what will happen next in this book...so I stop stitching as I drink my tea.  And I read.  I love this series of mysteries.  The Tea Shop Mysteries!!  

Just my cup of tea!

You might think it's too hot to sit out on my porch and drink hot tea.  But, it's not.  The ceiling fan makes it quite comfortable.  And really, when you have afternoon temperatures of 97.... it's downright cool.

And, did you know that drinking hot tea will really cool you down?  It's the honest truth.  You can click on over to hear what neuroscientist, Peter McNaughton has to say about why this is so. 

     

What's blooming in my garden this morning?

Why, Morning Glories, of course.  Now, go make yourself a cup of tea and sit in the shade!

Garden Tea, A Tea Cosy and Aunt Dimity

This is the stitching on my tea cosy that was made by my friend Judy, so many years ago.

And true, everything is sweeter when shared with a friend.

Especially Tea!

I had tea in my garden this morning. 

 It is cool enough in the early morning to enjoy.

This was my friend.

And I have to share this book with you!!

I am in love with this book and have already ordered the next two in this series.  It is sweet, it is old fashioned, it is so interesting and fun and entertaining.  

And how can you not love a book with the title "Aunt Dimity"?  One of my very favorite fabrics!

And I watched the Morning Glories Glow.

And all the flowers grow.

It was a fine morning.
