From Mother's Day 2009.....now a blossom!

"Sorbet" peony! Delightful!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Working on my art projects.....I found a soft corduroy shirt in a thrift store.

The colors and design were just what I needed for the frame and back of my wool and raw silk pillow

Still working on the "Indigo Dog" portraits of Juniper! Adding black machine stitching and will be quilting with large hand stitching too.

Jane LaFazio's classes are great!

Full blown beauty!

One large peony in a small glass vase (on a raw silk cloth).

I have finished stitching on the little morning mist in the Ozarks art quilt. This was really fun! Our next art quilt is done with wool felt.

This is the painting I am working on today....the scanner only picks up the center...but that may be the best part anyway!

It is based on a photo of a peony in a bluegreen glass vase....from Better Homes and Gardens February 2007...and a couple of pitchers from my collection, and some pears, purchased yesterday,( which I will soon make into a salad with baby lettuce,walnuts, blue cheese, and balsamic viagrette dressing....)
