Sunny Days........

I think we have finally hit the beginning of summer.....yeah!! It is beautiful today - warm - sunny - just what is needed in our lives. Although I cannot complain we aren't having any of the storms or heat-waves that that the rest of the country is having, just cold and rain and wind.
Mom and I shot some photos this morning at our favorite spot.......

I think we will do a postcard of this - our traditional log cabin, my Paprika (High Desert) batik, and a more contemporary piece.....a way to showcase our shop and what we do.

Then we re-shot Olive Rose quilts in greener pastures.....
I have been working on my new fabric collection - transferring all of the drawings to my painting material  - it is a hand cramping procedure so I decided to work on a quilt idea that I had to let my hands rest......

It is just the beginning and I didn't have anywhere else to put it in the studio so I hung it on the door. Actually looks pretty cool....I am knitting a really cool piece that will be hand stitched onto the top before I quilt it......I am fascinated with trying to incorporate knitting with fabric.
Lilac
Mom has a beautiful lilac bush in her yard and I thought I had better take advantage of it while it was blooming and while they still hadn't sold their house......
Peoney
While I was in the photographing mood I shot some peonies and Miss Vi......
Cutevi
Who is finally crawling.....it has taken her awhile to figure it out - she would get on all fours and rock back and forth trying to figure out how to do it. Now I really have to watch her - she likes to get into everything and just smiles at me when I tell her no.....it is hard not to laugh with her big gummy smile as she tries to pull on the lamp cord......ahhh I think we are going to stick to two kids......

With all that has been going on in my life all of the photos and stuff I want to share get piled up so sorry for the randomness of the blog......Have a great day!
