Gardenia, The Giving Flower & Walter The Watering Can

In 2005, I started my blog, The Giving Flower, to
inspire others to be creative and to find other fiber artists with similar interests.  Since then, it has been a wonderful adventure in the fiber arts, blogging, and most currently, podcasting.  Gardenia and
Walter are two friends I've created to make you happy and to welcome Spring, my favorite time of year.  I hope these two will keep you company on your own fiber adventures.
