Illustration Friday - Alphabets

I thought of doing an alphabet garden with a flower for every letter of the alphabet but couldn't think of one for "x" so decided to do it randomly.

This is so pretty!! Love the swirly letters and I like that you went with a random look for the flowers - more whimsical that way I think :)

Touching the Autumn Sky Complete!

Image
I am very excited that I finished my "Touching the Autumn Sky" Mirabilia cross stitch pattern over the weekend. Whew, took a long time. I can't even remember when I started it.

Five double crochets in a sin...

Illustration Friday - Juggle

Image
I wanted to draw something to correlate with the season and I thought about a lady trying to juggle all of her equipment back so she doesn't have to make another trip, ever feel that way? I felt like using red too, such a strong color and not in my usual palette, so apples came to mind. Have a good weekend. Nice and cool here in Nevada.
