Chores, home improvement projects, ugh.

I finally took some time to iron and pin the first XL pillowcase this morning, so I have been slowly hand sewing in between loads of laundry today.

pale orange lily (love this one)



Red hybrid tea rose which seems to use some colors that my puny human vision cannot detect. It has a shimmer. And smells like damask rose with ripe plum and lemon? I am not sure I can fully explain it. But it's a dark fruity smell with a sharp lemon.
