Creatively speaking, watching paint dry, sewing, and inspiration

not as much to show for this week, as I made a big push to finish the workshop lessons, if not the art! 

I was inspired to paint a hibiscus shared on Cloudia in Hawaii's post last week.... not realistic but kind of impressionistic

I like the color of blue, against the lime leaves

inspiration in bloom.... one of our bushes

Flowers on my mind as I try to paint a border of them around a picture... I'll show when it's done

Starting with paint, paper and ink this week, sewing fiber work next

morning doodles was using the gouache paint left on a yogurt lid palette

my desk calendar has wee paintings like the bee, so I paint around it some fanciful flowers. flowers I will grow when and if we move to Europe, filling my yard with colors!

and now for a bit of fiber.... we all need fiber right? 

here is a hexie spiral basted designed and waiting for pretty pink thread to sew it together

this catches me up to date with the rainbow scrap challenge colors, the next one will be June's color...

the blocks in all the colors so far, fill my design wall with the addition of "red". Now we wait to see what the color of the month for June will be. 

with a day to play before May's last link party of green at RSC I got out my bin of tiny scraps and began to build a base for a garden...

I like to do improvisational sewing in organic curves. Here I'm about to add these two... 

no pinning just take a deep breath and keep your eye on the tiny seam

here it is sewn and included in the growing row

one next to another, keep going, keep building. Press seams as you go, no worry about fitting them in, you'll know what to do as you go

I had a pieced scrap with a curve so I just sewed it in, and it will go somewhere. 

lovely sight after tidying up for the end of this day's work. 

I love my little studio space. 

I love the peace I find there. 

a little hail ball that blew in from the back porch, my heart sent from Heaven
