Forgive me if this is cheating, I wanted to show you a picture of the gift I gave my Mother for Mother's day. This is something I purchased when we vacationed in California two years ago. (The tablecloth is blue ...smile) I crochet, but I could never crochet anything like this...the stitches are so tiny.
One of the reasons I'm showing you the gift that I gave my Mother yesterday, is that it's a sneaky way to show you one of my vacation photos. I love to look at other people's vacation photos...but I know that not everyone does. I can't remember exactly where it was taken, but I do know it's the beautiful BLUE water of California.

I've lived in Pennsylvania my whole life. Anyone living in this area, or has ever visited my area...knows that the water here is NOT Blue. One of the things I remember most about our vacation in California is the beautiful BLUE water. I took so many vacation picture of just BLUE water scenes I was so fascinated with seeing all that BLUE
Last Blue Monday, I talked about the quilt my daughter made for me...I'm showing just one of the pillows she made to match the quilt. My goal this spring is to get my bedroom painted so I show my quilt on my bed.
Pillow is wonderful and I use to live in California for a few years and miss those blue waters but the water there was so cold... burr!

It's blue and shark infested too! Beware of Great Whites!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful pillow and I just love the gift you gave to your mother. Thank you for sharing the beautiful picture of the ocean. I have always wanted to live near water. Happy Blue Monday ♥
ReplyDeleteVery pretty blues and the photo of the water is just wonderful. Happy blue Monday
ReplyDeleteI have heard the Pacific is very Blue. I had to handtint a photograph for a customer once. And she said, "this water is not like the Atlantic, Gulf or the Carabeian. It is not green or aqua. It is BLUE. Rich blue." Fortunatly, I was able to find some samples and make her very happy with my work.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday!
Ahhh...so many pretties.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, our water is not blue.
Fun post!
Very pretty blues. Happy Blue Monday.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

I love that picture of the ocean.
ReplyDeleteCome to South Florida--in Key West the water is brilliant blue on one side of the highway and green on the other! Happy Blue Monday.
ReplyDeleteI have lived in California all my life and take that blue water for granted. Thank you for reminding me how lucky we are to have such blue beautiful water.
ReplyDeleteThe pillow is really pretty, and I love the crocheted coily you gave your mother.
Love the gift for your mother. The ocean does look beautiful. Some of the bluest, clearest water I've ever seen is in the Virgin Islands!
ReplyDeleteLove all your pics today!
