An Abundance of Flowers, Buds and Petals
Now Spring is here, and he won't leave for a time... until all changes slowly into Summer....
When I went into the garden this morning, the air was fresh and perfumed of all the gazillion of small flowers in the surrounding fruit trees, from which some are 50+ years old (in neighbours' gardens, of course)
Tonight the air coming from the garden was heavy and sweet from my own Narcissus in the meadow - an added "bonus" of planting all these bulbs, besides the pure joy to see them inmidst the green grass. Have a look at the pictures and feel my Spring :-)
Newly planted last Autumn . "Viridiflora" is a correct name for the cream and green petals. Yumm !
Ribes sanguineum - a "faux" currant with an alluring scent and tons of bees and bumbles...
The reward for letting the "lawn" morph into a meadow... Cuckoo's Flowers all over...
 |
| The soft cushions are out - and on top, of course ! Robby.... |
 |
| Apple tree... soooon the flowers will open ! |
 |
| My stone bench now is in 100% shade - we will need to transport it elsewhere... |
 |
| This cherry tree is full of flowers .... |
 |
| This one has not a single bud !!! |
 |
| The Caucasian Forgetmenot has selfsewed between the stones.... |
 |
| Waterlilies are coming to the surface.... |
 |
| Robby spends the early day in his "living room No 1" which is sundrenched and he can rest on the dry weeds of last Summer, which I spreaded there for mulching. He enjoys (?) to listen the neighbour mowing lawn. |

RAFFLE for Mother's Day 2013
Hi all,
Here is the info for a new RAFFLE with Châtelaine – with a theme of Mother's Day.....
Prizes will be :
1st prize :
3 Memberships to Online Classes to choose (2 large designs, 1 small/medium)
2nd prize :
2 Memberships to Online Classes to choose: 1 large design, 1 small/medium
3rd prize :
1 Membership to one Online Class to choose
(excluded is the Online Class 100 )
The consolation prize will be a lovely Extra-Design (107 x 107 stitches) only available to the participants who did NOT win one of the three main prizes and will be sent out via Email individually.....
This darling little picture you can stitch "empty" and sew in a trinket or a ribbon rose, you can stitch the provided "Thank you Mum" or create your own saying with the provided delicate alphabet in "over one".
There is a bundle of decorative Special Stitches included which shape the ornamental border beneath the dainty rosebuds.... Some crystals will be scattered over this design as well as beads - all in all a pretty and precious little "Thank you" for framing or as a centerpiece in a fabric (patchwork) frame, for a cosy cushion cover or something like a personal pouch....
Now for the “rules” - this raffle will start on APRIL 19th 2013 - 0:00 German time and will last TWO WEEKS til May 5th 2013 , 24:00 German time (Midnight ...)
You can find “German time” when googling – there are lots of “world time” pages…Purchases prior to this date or later will NOT PARTICIPATE in the Raffle – no exceptions.Valid is the time stamp of the Paypal Payment notification I recieve in email, not the moment you clicked the button at Paypal's....
On SUNDAY May 12th ( Mother’s Day…) I will draw the 3 names/participants from the list of all purchasers of any of my online offered designs/classes and then announce the winners on my BLOG, and in private emails.
Everybody can take part with one or more purchases of something "Chatelaine-Online" - one of my Mysteries, Online Classes etc.
You will get one “entry” per purchased class – means: If you purchase 3 classes, you will get your name on the list 3 times, which increases your chance for a prize….. ONLY VALID are payments to me, Chatelaine - Martina Rosenberg - for all online projects -- nothing purchased from ECC or shops etc is elligible to participate in the Raffle.
When I get your payment by Paypal, I will copy these names onto a list ( x the amount of payments/projects purchased), which will be published in the Support Group (only !) and updated every now and then.
IMPORTANT :
The Raffle prizes can not be changed into funds/ money/ cash/ gold/ silver….
If you win the Raffle and you already HAVE ALL the classes available, you can not get the money. We can perhaps then work something out with older designs – we will come to terms J
You can NOT give a prize to somebody else.You can not sell your membership.
You can not print out the contents of the class and pass it on to somebody else.You are not allowed to “share” the special design you receive here. It is for participants ONLY and not a “Freebie” to be shared !
Sorry for all the "don'ts" --most of all this shall be FUN !
