✿Flower Power✿

Good Day Friends and New Friends,

Can't believe the first week of the New Year is coming to a close. Hope everyone had a good transition from holiday living to real life schedules. Mine was fine, the holidays were great but I was ready for some "normal" routines. Work was work, but it was great to see my friends at work and exchange stories.
Now I feel like I am hibernating a little when I am home except for work, errands and the like, and you know what it feels pretty good. (at least for the moment)

I am enjoying knitting a bit and reading and even watching some chic flicks! Sounds nice right! I have wanted to show you my Power Flower for ages now, so here goes.




FROM START TO ALMOST FULL "GLORY"





Now I call this Flower Power or you could call it a magnificent Amaryllis




I love the white and salmon color. Do you? or Do you like the red better. This was a gift so I didn't know what color it was going to be. Surprise Surprise......and what a wonderful one.


Sneak peek at Little One's new mittens.........just one so far. Second is on my dpn.




Colors picked out by Little Miss for Little one!!!



Have a great day! See you all soon. I seem to be on a roll blogging I wonder when it will slow down.......I hope not too soon.

    That is one beautiful amaryllis, Robin! I haven't seen one like that in real life, ours are always that same old red. I'm happy you've had a good first week of 2012 - here's to great year!

    Happy weekend!

    Yours,
    Mia

    I love your amaryllis Robin and prefer this to the red. They are such spectacular bulbs. I am glad you are enjoying what I call "pottering" - it is a good time of year just to snuggle down and craft. Your mittens look fun. I have been making cards today and even got my Hb Valentine's day card made!!
    Keep cosy,
