I Was Here First!

I Was Here First!

It is back to the birds! They seem to become a secondary theme!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Three Cheers for the Red, White, and Blue!

Thinking of those that have served to defend our freedoms as we start this weekend. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

The Letter K for Knitting and Knitters

K is for Knitting and Knitters!

This is dedicated to all my knitter friends. 

I use to knit as well as sew, but drawing and designing took over. I was always amazed at those that could knit a sweeter and have all their rows even. If you ever receive something knitted by a friend, treat it with care and reverence for it was made with love.

Warm Weather Brings Visions of Summer

Sunflower Surprise!

The warm weather we have been having today has brought visions of summer and sunflowers!

The Letter M for Mermaids

M is for Marvelous Mermaids

Finally another idea for the letter M. 

My last approach with the letter M was M is for Mustache. Although fun, it seemed a bit limited as to my only M offering. 

I thought of map, but I have done the map theme before with C is for Compass and G is for Globe, although I may do one yet in that as it could become a theme. Thought of mountains, morning glories, and marigolds as well, but mermaids won out.

Looking for Spring

Looking for Spring

The "polar vortex" has kept my yard pretty much covered in snow this winter. Usually there is a spring tease somewhere in February, but alas, this has not happened. The only relief from the winter doldrums is that the days are getting longer and we have had a few days of blue skies to accompany the sunshine. 

Here is a little something to brighten up the last dregs of winter. I am keeping and eye out for my robin buddies.

Tea for Two

Tea for 2

I am done with winter. 

I started this design in the middle of gray skies and snow. I kept wrestling with the color. Guess I needed to see some green. 

Today the sun was out and the snow was melting and I was finally able to finish this design.

Yes, it is supposed to get cold again and I am sure there will be plenty more gray skies, but my thoughts are in Spring and warmer weather.
