Late summer

Late Summer

I'd like to be like the French and just retreat for August, maybe to the sea or mountains. I'm not picky. But for now, I'll just stitch and continue to make stuff.

Getting ready for a show

My show at Studio A in F'burg opens on Sept. 1st, and the ensuing chaos is now in session.. So much on the to do list, I weary of it. But onward I go..

Work still going on, it will be done!

piles of stuff, ok, never going to be featured in "Studios' magazine! I know I know..

Art quilts and paintings.. all in a row.. not!!

On the easel (floor) right now..

And my son took a great class on street art, and has gone and done some work..Wonder where he gets his art gene from? :D  Love it!

late summer garden

Before the birds and deer get to it! I haven't had too much luck in the past with sunflowers, but these, my daughter planted, so she does! I adore the lime green centers.. also coneflowers that have come and gone, the finches and nuthatches love the seeds and a crepe myrtle that is in full pink-ness. Color inspiration that is steps away.. love it.

august

Even though it's my birthday month, I really am glad when August is over. Usually way too hot here for me. However, we had a cold front come through and it's like 65 degrees! Soo, my roses are sending up canes like it's April. Have a great weekend, hope it stays nice..
