OMG! Thank you Bes...THIS is just what I neeeeeeeed. OMG! Thank you Besty!!!!! <br /><br />Firstly, do not apologise for taking a long time or I will have to..hahaha..tenfold . I promised the anniversary prezzies in Dec and it only reached you half a year later. Would you believe I only sent out the last batch JUST?! hehe<br /><br />There's nothing more gratifying than being able to make something to cheer someone's day. You know, to know someone's felling better because of what you did. So thank you, Betsy, from my heart because this post cheered me loads, still does. Love love love the feeder and how that single sunflower grows from that one seed that wasn't eaten :)<br /><br />I didn't expect my humble sunflowers to bring me so much cheer. I am glad that there were enough of you who wanted them for your projects :). The returns I got for sending them out is 100 times more. <br /><br />When I saw the sunflowers in your kitchen, I was really bowled over. I always look at the enlarged pictures first before I read the text and for a moment I thought you had gone and painted the murals in Daphne's house :). I can no longer tell your mini work from your RL ones, Bets. You are that good.

Your "sansflower" (I LOVE that word Margriet created for Sans!' sunflowers!) is beautiful, I really like the idea of seed fallen down from that lovely bird feeder. And it was fun to see your beautiful dining place - you're a great artist and a brave woman, I would never dare to paint my walls! And what a great way of combining your wall clock with your wall painting!<br /><br />Greetings<br />BirgitBiWuBärhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624262663621307478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-80631692674714463432013-08-21T21:10:24.066-04:002013-08-21T21:10:24.066-04:00Thanks Simon!

The mural is still in the beginning stages.... believe it or not... just imagine the Chinoiserie bedroom in full scale... birds and butterflies and many more flowers....!!! Now you know why I say it is not done yet!<br />As for Daphne and Will... honesty is Always best in a relationship! We will just have to see how things develop... sometimes these little people surprise me!<br />Thank you for your words of encouragement about my "Someday" garden.... I really will build it... I just don't know how soon... and I'm sure you have experienced the frustration of your ideas being better than your skills to make them!

I feel for Will too, and he has a lot to accomplish ahead of him... but that is the story and I mustn't jump ahead! I do get a bit impatient with myself when my ideas are so far ahead of the "reality".... but you are right... seeds take time to grow! All that really matters is having fun on the way!

What a commitment and between that and your castle ceiling and the construction of your tree house and the new mini rat's house and this incredible story, there is now wonder that you find yourself strapped for time. Your friendship with the Fabulous Sans is to be totally cherished. What a woman she is. You have singled out a single sunflower and highlighted it as a constant reminder of how she has begun to make your garden grow. Your little bird feeder is a delight, Betsy, and so is this story!<br /><br />elizabethelizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-75585375518870492682013-08-21T13:18:48.591-04:002013-08-21T13:18:48.591-04:00Secrets are not healthy for the soul.

I hope the sunflower that stands so tall and bright to greet the sun will inspire him and keep his spirit up! As for the rest of the garden, seeds take time and patience. <br />Nice way to have your breakfast, surrounded by bright and cheery sunflowers! Looking good so far. <br />Angélique just popped on my shoulder and is happy to see them having their coffee in the sun. She says it's o.k. to take a break from mini works for a while, at least Daphne and Will both have a chair to sit on, which is more then Art and Angélique can say...
