Pennsville, NJ ~ Visitors to Jenny's Yard

 So proud of the work Jenny's done on building gardens in her yard. It takes time and patience when you aren't feeling your best. I visited this week when I saw 15 species of butterflies along with Snowberry Clearwing and a few hummingbird's. There could have been more species of skippers but there were so many skippers to shift through and ID. Her hard work is showing! Jenny has many flowers & host plants showing if you build it they will come!!

Lots of pollen on this Monarch!

Fabric Postcards

Over the past few weeks I've been going through my fabric scraps and postcard supplies to make some new postcards for swapping.  I found some 4" finished blocks to use for the postcards. These  postcards are 4.5" by 6".so I've been having fun making them and being  creative.  So far I have made about 14 postcards.  Here are a sampling of them..
