Baby quilt and Faeries, continued…

While I wasn’t on my blog or on Flickr ; I was still working (not much; I must admit ;o) on the babyquilt.

The last faery came out very nicely and the top was done; I also begun the assembling and quilting.

I just forgot to embroider here mouth, oups!

Is this good enough for Sir Muchu?

Muchu our cat gave his approval after a good quality test!

And here begins the real work!

Around the terrace.

Our terrace is south orientated and we are spending a lot of time on it!

And our pets too!

We have a nice big climbing rose ‘Albéric Barbier’ on the pergola together with a purple clematis and grapevines; perfume and color: all in one!

It is surrounded with other roses, ferns, Buxus and a lot of pots with all kind of flowers…

Among the roses we have:
R. Little White Pet spore from ‘Félicité et Perpétue’

R. Madame Legras de Saint Germain (no good picture from this year;o(

R. Yellow Charles Austin

R. Blush Noisette; probably my favorite (with a lot of others, hi hi… )

R. Tapis Volant

R. Seagull is climbing on a pinetree and is now that high that we can almost see part of his flowers.

Just an enchanted garden; unfortunatly we had a lot of rain this year and roses doesn’t like it at all ;o(


We will have a lot of grapes this autumn; we never saw this! The Vine is contiuously making new flowers that are polinisated into grapes and again, and again…

A corner in my garden!

I’m trying to organize my garden ;o)
Growing perennials and plants that doesn’t ask too much attention as my garden is quiet big!

Here I putted some Pleioblastus Shibuyanus ' Tsuboi ' in the background.
(or Bamboo Pleioblastus variegatus 'Tsuboi')
A beautiful variegated specie, with small white-striped leaves.
It is very vigorous and has a running root system and likes to be in a lower light and doesn’t tolerate hot sun.

A Cornus Kousa "Mon Amie Francine" was blooming as ever!

I also planted Alchemilla Mollis and Asperula Odorata with Geraniums and Hemerocallis.

You'll find more pictures on my flickr account ;o)

After one month...

I wasn’t available for anything but my family and my job during one month!
We have had some “problems” with Nicolas’ health and mine isn’t very good aswell for the moment.
Nicolas suffers of 15% heart failure. He had ventricular fibrillation, high blood pressure and tachyarrhythmia up to 180 per minute and they had a lot of difficulties to have it coming down again; they also diagnosed a thyroid disease that could have helped this becoming. The doctors told him he has a heart that’s aged 50 and he’s only 21!!!

I’ll be glad to have 2 weeks at home from 20st of July.
I’ll use those days to go ahead with my hobbies and some WIP(ssss) ;o)

Nevertheless, I took some pictures during the period I was “absent” and now I’ll give you some news…
