A few leftover wedding flowers

I took this photo last week of a few wedding flowers that were left over, they still looked so pretty.
 

Cosmos

Son K and I spotted these lovely cosmos on display on a recent walk.
 

Amaryllis update

Amaryllis bulb

bulb to paper bag

 Around Christmastime last year I had received an amaryllis plant.  According to what I researched I had planted it outside in the spring, the stems had died away and it was time to unearth the bulb.  I have stored it in a paper bag in the basement and at the start of December I will bring it out, repot it and hopefully it will bloom again with careful watering and sunshine.

Feta Proscuitto Wraps

 This recipe is thanks to Iris who posted it recently.  I can't seem to find the exact post.  Husband M loved it.  Thanks Iris!

I wrapped cubes of feta with oregano or mint in slices of proscuitto and browned them in a bit of oil.  Very simple!  Daughter L found them too salty for her taste, cannot please everyone!

Friday Art - Flower Girls and Quill Art

 For Nicole's Friday Face Off I am showing a painting I did of the flower girls at daughter L's recent wedding.  They are my great nieces.  The little one actually did not make it up the aisle, it had been a long day for her.  They had attended hair and makeup in the morning wearing little makeup robes to match the bridal party women.

For Gillena's Art for Fun Friday I am showing this pretty quilled art card that a friend gave daughter L at her wedding.  The other photo describes a bit about quilled art.  It is an ancient Egyptian art form that involves rolling strips or coils of paper into art forms.

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Apples

 Sharing a throwback piece I did for Creative Tuesdays back in 2014 and now for Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date's 'Apples' theme.  It is on textured cardstock (8 1/2" x 11 ") in acrylic.

For the dinner date I am sharing some matzo ball soup that I made for  you today.  I poached seasoned fresh salmon with a box of low sodium chicken stock and added matzo balls pre-made from a mix into it.  It is yummy!
