Drawing Pictures

I've been having a very nice day.  Drawing pictures all day.  And I had tater tots for lunch.  Not healthy but very good.  Here is a sample of one of my drawings.

Coming to stores in July

My new fabric line "School Days" will be shipping to stores in July.  Watch for it and tell your friends!

I know it's just the start of Summer.  But, go ahead and enjoy those lazy days of Summer and while you're  at it why not make something special for that little person or teacher in your life.  They will thank you and so will I.  This is just a small sample.  To see more you can visit www.quiltingtreasures.com
Thanks for stopping by.

Back to work

Working on some new fabric designs.  Hope my fabric company likes them.  I'm calling this collection Leighigh.

Off to the Beach!

In just a couple days my husband and I will be heading off to South Carolina's Edisto Island.  I love the beach.  We are meeting up with my cousin Robin and her husband for a week of fun and food at the Beach!  Did I tell you I love the beach.  Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the visit.  The last time we visited Edisto was about a month before I was diagnosed with cancer. I was so tired and didn't know what on earth was wrong with me.  But, now that is all over.  Thank the good lord.

After we leave South Carolina we are flying off to Ft. Lauderdale to visit our dear friends Paul and Charlie.  We have not seen them in years and I need to talk and laugh with my buddies.  I am a lucky girl to have great friends and family.  I will have my little travel watercolor kit with me.  Lets hope I paint a bit.  But, I'm not promising anything.  I've been known to just walk on the beach and read, all day, everyday. (not at the same time)  I'll report back to blog world when I return.

Working a Little

I'm still playing with my new pencils and paint.  Sadly, I keep drawing myself.  Note to self...stop it!  Anyway, I'm sure all of you get lost in your own world as you are creating.  A guess I must see myself in an uncorked bottle.   Hmmmm wonder what that means?  At least I took the cork out of the bottle so I could breath. As you can see, I think about various things that make me happy.  Have a nice week everyone!

Walking

It's been awhile since my last post.  Sorry about that.  Life gets busy sometimes.  I get lazy sometimes too. Anyway, I did a little illustration of my alter ego and my dog Lois taking a walk in the fall leaves.  I am trying out my new paints and pencils along with working with cold press watercolor paper.  This was done in Gouache and Caran d'Ache Luminance colored pencils.  These pencils are so nice.  Love them.  It was a fun experiment.  I think I'll keep playing around with them for a bit.  Hope all is well with everyone.  Take care.

Weekly Update

The biggest update this week has been my children's birthdays.  My son Todd turned 29 on Tuesday January 24 and my lovely daughter's birthday is today!  She is 26.  For those of you who know me, you already know how gaga I am over my kids.  They are the best thing that I ever did.  Getting married to their father was a big deal too.  Although, I have almost no control of that man.  I do love him very much... I must, I've been married to him for almost 31 years.  Holy cow!  Here is the thing, I can't believe I've been married 31 years or that I have kids 29 and 26 years old.  Were oh were does the time go?  Seems like yesterday that they were running around the house like wild animals.  Not really, they were pretty good kids.  Although they did have their moments.  Anyway,  Happy Birthday you two.  Love is not a big enough word to express how I feel about the two of you.
