ROSES
While I was hanging out my washing on Tuesday I thought how pretty my favourite Pierre De Ronsard Rose was. It is a bit lost to everyone else as I am the only one that hangs out the washing. It is such a pretty climber going over two arches against the fence. Still it makes me smile as I hang out the washing

I thought I would take a couple of photos then come in and get my secateurs and cut some to take inside. As usual something distracted me – who knows what it was I can’t remember.
Love this little statue near my clothes line as well
So to cut a long story short I picked some today and put them in my favourite spot. I see them every time I come out of my bedroom, through the front door or go into my lounge room.
HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR FOR RILEYAmy thought 3 month old Riley needed something cute for the Hollywood Glamour 21st Party on Saturday night. Of course she wasn’t doing it, I was. Had to put my thinking cap on for that one.
So I bought a little long sleeve legless suit (I think you girls in the good old USA call them onesies!!)I made a little bow tie out of some ribbon and attached it just below the neckline, then added some little black buttons.
It still looks like it needs something and I was thinking about adding black ribbon like this! What do you think? Only trouble is it won’t stretch once I add it. I guess he only has to wear it for one night so it doesn’t really matter. After the party I can just take it all off and he can wear the suit. All he needs now is a little pair of black pants and socks. Too cute.

Hi Alison,
I just adore the suit you are making for Riley. He will be the hit of the party!!!
No wonder you got sidetracked whilst hanging out the washing. They are just GORGEOUS, what a display they make.
I hope your son & his girlfriend are going OK out on their own.
Hope you have a great week, chat soon.

OM Goodness! Do all roses look like this where you live? They are the epitome of beauty!!
I love the little shirt you’re making for your sweet one. It's perfect for the celebration.
Hugs! Nancy
One thing I miss when my Mom lived near by was her green thumb for roses. We always had them growing.Now she lives in the desert where they don't thrive. I have 2, a double delight for me and a Mr. Lincoln in honor of my Mom's dad. The next rose with be a lavendar one cause that's my Mom's favorite!
I also love the little out fit you are making! you should list some extra's on etsy!
Wow I am so jealous~! Everything is so green and pink and fresh looking. It is so cold and desolate here! Thanks for posting those pictures, they warmed me up!

What a great idea! It will be adorable!
I like it with the ribbon. I always love the details =) Blessings.. POlly
Hello Alison, what a charming blog you have I am so pleased I "dropped in" today for a visit.
We live in the same state & I love this sunburnt country especially when a huge Antique fair is about to arrive this Australia day weekend just 20 mins away (smiles), but also because I may never have known a lovely lady with adorable grand children who loves Roses had it not been for our blogs! and that is a very good thing.
I will visit again I am very sure. enjoy the long weekend
Best wishes Lee-ann
I like the ribbon as well, the whole thing is very cute. He will steal the show!

Sue
Thanks Alison, I would love to catch up soon...as we keep saying, the roses will be a bonus, have you noticed how crazy it is down here this weekend?
Dear Allison,
I think the shirt is perfect just the way you have it at first. How clever you are. You could sell onesies like this. Your roses are breathtaking. Do you every dry them? Easy enough to do. Then you can have them for an art project or potpourri. Thank you for your comments. I always welcome them and you.
Happy Friday.
Pat
Great photos of the rose - is it Pierre?? Loved the music too
Well Alison - I'm totally jealous! I am hating winter right now with more gumption than you can imagine. But at least I can bask in your sunlight and flowers.
Love,
Julie
Yep, cute onesie! I loved looking at your roses. Here in Northern California we're lookin' at snow! We're supposed to get 4" of rain here in the valley today but we can look up at our mountain and see the snow. Have a great day!
Ann
How adorable is that tuxedo shirt!! Your roses are gorgeous as well. I will have to write down that variety and see if we have it here.
Alison, I hope we get to see how handsome little Riley looks in his onesie tux. Your roses are gorgeous.
Beautiful Roses!!!!
The little outfit is adorable.
Rosemary
Hi Alison, I just came back from garage sales (Saturday morn) it's crazy out there!! Will email you next week for coffee

Alison, if I had those roses in my back garden I would be forever outside painting them - just beautiful.
For my vote - add the extra ribbon to the suit.
