What caught my eye, this week, was this funny color of green.
 It has a little blue and a small amount of black in the mix.
 So far I have painted a bookcase and wicker table in this color.
 It seems to work with warm woods, bright pink and the naturals, lopi wool and barn wood!
 The coral wall and the indigo chair, in the Matisse painting, complements this funny green!
 What would you name this paint color?

Venus And The Moon

First shot was the best shot, just pulled the camera up to my nose and held my breath.Then I clicked the shutter.

Caught them off the top of our ridge from down in the holler directly west. 



The star and the planet felt so near and gone so quick, as in a "blink of an eye" or the speed of the camera lens, so to say.

Sewing Under The Eaves

In the planning stages.

Two are finished and two are ready to go!

It feels like I am sewing under a tent!

Small cushions for children's chairs.

Third pair of pillows still in the planning stage.

The sun is shining through the window and all the fabric patterns and colors are so cheerful!

Sunday Funday!

A dream written down with a date becomes a goal. A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan. A plan backed by action makes your dreams come true.

I find myself leaning toward the yellow and red more often than not!
In my next life I want to weave in front of the fire on a chilly afternoon and get lost in the technique 
Working on the store decor, sketching out my plans and finding I have lots to do!

Time to take a break and put a fire in the fireplace.
Happy Sunday to you.
