Starting on Christmas

 Hello all! Well, I’m starting on some watercolor paintings that will end up being part of a Christmas Doodle Booklet. Here are the first ones I’ve finished. 

Watercolor Sketchbook

 Today’s Scripture in my watercolor sketchbook. 

And when I needed a break yesterday from stitching.... I drew in my journal about my stitching. Lol 

Starting Another Project

I  started a new fall wool appliqué . This design is from my Colors of Fall Doodle Booklet  .... I changed the colors from my original plan to better reflect Fall  

Then..... I finished the first Fall Wool Appliqué 

All I need to do now is decide whether I want to mount it on something or make into a pillow ..... hmmmmm?

Enjoy your weekend my friends !!😍

Sleepless Nights Have Benefits

 Well, I’m in a weird sleep cycle again. I have some GREAT nights I go to bed, fall asleep wake up 8-9 hours later. Then.... I have nights like last night. Went to bed around 11:30 Tossed and turned till 12:30 finally got out of bed. 

I decided to do this design off the cuff just as I went along. 

I did go back to bed around 5:30 am and woke up at 12:00 noon feeling rested. 

Here’s what I did. 

Working on a Wool Applique Project

 Well I was going to title this “Any guesses what I’m working on ?” But I gave it away. Lol

I’m going to make a wool appliqué pillow from one of my designs in the new Colors of Fall Doodle Booklet.

Here is a pic of the painted design I did in watercolors  I don’t have a lot of wool left , I’ve sold most of it but did save some so, I changed up the colors a bit  

It’s been ages since I did hand stitching but I’m sure it’s like riding a bike. Lol Here is a pic of what I’m using for wool and a cool piece of old flour sack cloth for the background. 

New Fall Doodle Booklet

I just got this all finished up and it's ready for sale or email me with questions.

Weekend Watercolor

 Hello friends. I had a busy weekend working outside .... just some mulch and trimming but it sure does make a world of difference. 

Before I went outside into the heat, I took a little time to do some fun, loose watercolor painting. I’m stuck in Fall mode , so I painted in muted tones. 

Fall Blooms Freebie Doodle

 Hey hey, it’s in the 80’s here in NW Pa. but I definitely have the Fall itch. I’m currently working on my second new Fall doodle booklet , but wanted to offer a little freebie along with a Freebie I previously posted on FB. Enjoy 🤪and.... send me pics of your creations I’ll post them here, FB, and Instagram. 

**** NEW*** Fall Critters Doodle Booklet

I’ve been busy doing lots of things but not getting a lot done, if you know what I mean... lol. 

But... I finally put all of my Fall Critter paintings together to make a doodle booklet. It is available on PatternMart or message me if interested.
