Paint Party Friday

It's Friday and time to go the big 
Paint Party with Eva & Kristin. 
A weekly gathering of kindred spirits who enjoy the world of creative painting and other such things ! 
Only one project this week...
...another little burlap bag that my rice comes in. This time I decided to go with a butterfly theme and so meet
The Monarch Queen. 
Here's the first bag I painted a couple of months ago.
The bags come looking like this...
...we eat a lot of rice so it doesn't take us long to go through a 2 pound bag. I've been using them to take my snacks to work with me . Just perfect for an apple , yogurt and a drink. 
It's summer and the heat is here now. It's been miserable with heat in the upper 90°s and the humidity almost as high. Any yard work has been done in the late evening and early mornings. The flowers are going nuts thought with the heat. 






Just a sample of what's blooming at our place this week :)

  4. I like your idea of recycling the rice bags. Reminiscent of my childhood and Mama making our little dresses from flour bags. Your Monarch girl is beautiful. She could easily fit into your gorgeous flower garden.

  10. Such a cute bag you get with your rice! I've never seen that before. I would buy those too, I love how you're transforming them! your flowers are so beautiful, I'm especially enchanted by the 6th flower-picture. Such a unique, special flower.... Enjoy the sun, even though it's hot! I'm longing for that blue sky, here we've only been having rain :-(
