entered these TWO of them...

Get Your Paint On

A few things...


a little tour around the house

i've been pruning the succulents
to multiply them.
i love doing that!!



In the studio



i've been busy,
painting fabrics, stamping, sewing...


hoping to get some of my stuff to
a christmas fair at the beginning of
next month.


Seasons...



i have lived in the southern hemisphere for
10 years now but my brain still
gets confused with the seasons...
september, spring???


so today in true october mode
i am paying a tribute to autumn,
a season i cherish,
for its colours, its tastes
and its sense of peace.



Garden wonder


i had almost lost hope...

but
my very own blood lily
has finally popped up for the very first time!!!


In the studio



i bought this stunning book recently
and now i am working on all these inspiring
watercolor exercises!


Today...


it's friday, the sun is shining,
i love,
i'm feeling crafty...

Today...


today i got this little treasure
in the post!!!
my own Dottie Angel book
all the way from
Uppercase in Canada!



filled with goodness...
yay, yay, yay!!!
