blooming flowers - orchids & Christmas cactus

This spring I have three plants bloom at the same time. Two of them are orchids, Phalaenopsis. 

And Schlumbergera, known as Christmas cactus. 

Here are my other sweet rosebuds, especially black one:

  

beautiful bookmarks with beaded bead

 

Today I have a special post about bookmarks. As social media is growing, and everyone has a Kindle, so we read less paper books. But sometimes is great to take an old favorite book and read it again. 

Touch the paper sheets and feel the smell. Find favorite sentences and quotes, and mark these places with beautiful bookmarks.  

This time I get a custom order for the bookmarks with a beaded bead. As I like reading and beading, I made them more :) 

Beaded beads made of czech glass pearls and seed beads. The length of the bookmark is 4.5" (11.5 cm) 

How to use: simply slide the metal part of the bookmark inside the book and let the beads dangle outside. For example pretty one on a bookshelf:

simple knitted blanket

And now I've finished the knitting cable blanket. It is in natural white color and about 160x120 cm (60x45 inches). I like it so much, use it when watching TV with my favorite cup of green tea. This blanket is good to cover and feel comfortable. 

Look at these cables: it's really easy to knit!

Of course, the cat believes that this blanket is knitted for him 😸
