This will be where I post for the next week or so.[I think!] I will add to the bottom of this post, so that more can comment here to be in the drawing...

Lila's Birthday Giveaway.....
On October 15th, I will have a birthday! To celebrate, I will give away a framed original watercolor, "Autumn Song". This painting has a fall theme featuring mums, pears, and a nightingale. I will post more about it soon! If you leave a comment anytime in October, through my birthday, you will be entered in the drawing!
[added later] The painting is 16 X 20 in the frame. Yes, I am the artist. It is signed, though you can't see that here!!

Saturday October 4th...
I have decided to sew for my granddughter. There are so many cute things to make and since I have a machine and a serger, I really MUST do this. [Besides I enjoy it!]
The first is a cotton flowered jumper with orange-red contrast bands.
Next will be a "swing" jacket from pink and brown houndstooth corduroy. It will have large brown buttons.
Off to the cutting table now!...
October 7th....the jacket is finished! (see photo) Off to post office and on it's way to Lilia!

Thanks!
Your watercolor is very sweet. I just love the translucency of watercolor work. My grandfather did some very beautiful work in watercolors also.
Lila,
Please don't include me in the draw, as I already have the joy of having one of your original watercolors (Bittersweet and Chinese Lanterns in Blue and White Vase - so lovely - I'm looking at it right now!)Let someone else enjoy your beautiful paintings.
What a wonderful thing for you to do, to give something away for YOUR birthday!!
what a lovely painting! and sharing it with someone else will always remind the winner of yor special day too! have a lovely day on the BIG day!
Hey Birthday Girl, this is one way to get me to leave a comment. Who in the world wouldn't want a LILA ORIGINAL? But I won't fret if I don't get it.

What a charming watercolour. Did you paint it.
Happy upcoming birthday.
What cute patterns! I think I am getting in the 'mood' to sew and love the pretty fabric you chose. Does the swing jacket come in my size? heehee!
One of my lunch ladies gave us all a rose on her Birthday, this is very nice. I hope your Birthday is a day to remember....all good things everyday. Hugs, Mary
Oh what a lucky little girl to have her Grandma sew for her!!
I remember my Nana used to make my Barbie clothes and crochet afghans and made many other treasures.
Oh love that painting!!
Lila those patterns are really cute! I can just see Lilia in that jumper. Hope you'll get pictures of her! That swing coat is darling!
I'm on a blog break but I'm still visiting and am so glad I stopped by. I would LOVE to own one of your paintings!
It turned out GREAT! She will love it! Very cool!
Beautiful work! Your birthday will be here before you know it! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!
