WONDERFUL RANDOM SUMMER DAYS!

 reminds me of a Chinese lantern ;)...but it's a flower
 
 
 
 such a wonderful quote...
 
 
 
 I needed to pick up my brushes today after many dry days...
a little card was in order!
I sewed the words on with shiny plastic threads.
 
 
 
 one thing lead to another...
 
 
 
 I decided to use this same beautiful quote on this piece today as well...
 
 
 
 
 up close textures...
 
 
 
 top is cheese cloth,
the bottom piece is a section of Great Nana's quilt piece...
 
 
 
 and when I began this one...after the card...
I remembered WHY the wait to paint...
yes...this is going somewhere, maybe a lot more,
maybe a little more...have to wait for "it" longer...
going slow on this one ;)
 
 
 
 SPECIAL PLATES...I used for a couple of shindigs we've had...
 
 
 
 then made more Caprese salad for a barbeque party we attended...
with more of these special plates ;)...she is 30 yrs. old now, that
darlin' daughter of ours...she and her husband chuckled dearly!
 
 
 
just about this time next year...we plan on going to Santa Catalina, Panama...
we will see what we shall see!
 
 
SAVORing summer at a slow simmer...
but it still goes fast, eh?
