Summer Flowers

Well I didn’t win the quilt 🙁 so to console myself I decided to do a post on some of the beautiful flowers that my mom has growing in her garden. It just makes me feel better to look at something so pretty.

I just played around with my little digital camera and some of them really turned out spectacular if I do say so myself. Please don’t take the pictures off of here unless you ask.

I really loved how this one turned out…you can see right down into the center of the purple flower. I think you can click on the photo and it will enlarge it for you ….and then it is even better.

Just look at all the details in the petals of the flower. By taking these photos it has taught me to “stop and smell the roses” more often and notice the tiny details in all of God’s creations. Ahhhh. I feel better now about not winning the quilt give-away.

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
