White Christmas... for sure!
fall was... and is coming near the end... bringing... snow and
fall is here
fall is on its way
ever thought of a leaf as a hammock?
Wouldn't it be grand!!!
august begins
moths
They are so beautiful when they sit still. This one was taken from the outside. and the next from inside... grin ... back then front... I wonder if he could see me?
just planted
garden blooms finally...
Carrying on in the tulip phenomena. My brother gave these beauties to me last fall. They are the special tulip commissioned for Canada's 150 birthday .
We have had three prefect days, warm scented air and the tulips are perfect too!
'tis the season for tulips
Haven't got any blooming in the garden yet... that will come in another week but I couldn't resist the bouquets fresh from the florist shop. I've had them the week and even as they fall apart there is great beauty coupled with dramatic colour, patterns and texture!
oh to be in England now that April's here
feb 14 was tuesday and
Hope you had a special day!
watercolours on ...
I'm experimenting with how different paints work on timtex, which is a very stiff polyester interfacing. I have used it before to make fabric books and postcards and this will be the ultimate purpose of these experiments but I wanted to try some watercolours first. I really love this one. The paint soaked in at different rates and made some lovely patterns.
frozen jellyfish.... well it could be....
what do you think?
winter top knots
these two are favourites
and every year they find their way out of the box and onto my mantle. They never fail to make me smile! No matter how cold it is outside!!!
it has been THAT cold...
...but christmas colours prevail even through the snow!
the pressure was on but now...
It's done! Advent countdown begins in 2 days and my grandson's new stockings are stuffed, boxed and ready for him. It has been fun to put together but time consuming!
These little stockings came as a fabric panel. I have backed them with other stripes and dots and he will peg them on a ribbon.
and here we are in November
As always after we pass remembrance day my thoughts turn towards Christmas. It was a busier season in past years but I still start to think just which picture I will use for my card. Sometimes it is more the colours of the photo. I go through a lot before a decision is made but here's one I love a lot.
