beginning of labor day weekend...

Ruffly mushroom.

Morning sun.

Finished painting.

Last grape.

almost finished

Here's an update after adding layers of paint the past two days...I think I'll be finished with it Friday. This isn't a good picture...I tried all different places inside the house and outside to get a good shot...sometimes a camera just can't capture the real thing.

waiting for autumn...in the meantime

This is what's on my easel...it's 20x16 gallery wrapped canvas...I'm painting it for Britt's room...I'm going to call it "Autumn Path". The white splotches are more texture...I hope to finish it this week.

I haven't sketched in awhile, so i decided to sketch my smoothie this morning.

This is a piece of sheet metal that DH is going to make a table out of...for outside. It was delivered Friday afternoon, but I didn't take a look at it until Saturday morning. I immediately saw an abstract design on it...I told DH and he looked at me like I was crazy!

I finished one of the loopy lace socks and started it's mate this weekend.

These are cheese muffins I baked yesterday...the recipe is from the pioneer woman's blog...they remind me of the rolls at Red Lobster.

random thursday

Tuesday, K and I ate lunch at Charleston tea room...we have eaten there once a week all summer. I moved her back to CS yesterday.

Sunday, DH and I bought 3 satsuma and 2 grapefruit trees...I can't wait for the satsumas to turn orange...they are my favorite!

We had an unexpected visitor this past weekend...I decided to take his picture before DH showed him the door.

We have so many different kinds of mushrooms growing in our yard...I thought this one looks like a fan.

A downpour...we have had a lot of rain this week...Woo-Hoo!

the gift

There are layers and layers of paint on this gallery wrapped canvas...it will hang over K's bed in CS.

dog days of summer...

Buckles...

Abby...

Chance...I'm so ready for summer to be over!

sisters

They maybe sisters, but they are as different as night and day.
