Texture Tuesdays




It’s Texture Tuesday at the Cafe.
Which gave me an excuse to spend the day playing in Photoshop.
Today we're using Kim's texture called Golden.

It was a rainy day. No working in the yard today.
Which is what I did all weekend. The front yard is looking better now.

I planted a new hydrangea. My others out front are not blooming and I don’t know why.
So I planted another in hopes of getting some blooms this year.

I also planted some purple coneflowers, zinnias and a yellow one, I can’t think of the name.
We put down a bunch of pine straw too. Did some trimming.

I was filthy the whole weekend. But it felt good to get it finished.
For now.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Any projects completed over at your place?
Half completed? 
Just started?

  1. Nice texture work, I really like the last one, it has a sweet vintage feel to it.
    I did a bit of yard work too. Started putting in some stone landscape edge-thingies. It's slow going though . . .

  5. The last photo I bet was wonderful from the beginning, but the textures added so much more character to it.

    It struck me from the thumbnail list over at Kim's blog.

  11. Dropped by from Kim's .... nice work. My hydrangeas are blooming like crazy ... of course this is after I learned a few years back that some do NOT like to be pruned!
