Photo of the Week

A photo from my walk yesterday on the river trail.  I can't get enough of summer evenings here.  With the exception of bugs, they are just about perfect :)

A Look at my Sketchbook

Sorry for missing my usual photo of the week this week.  I've been busy potty training my son... and hanging out at the lake.  Sometimes I just need a break from blogging.  Does anyone else get that way?

Here are the sketches I whipped out this morning while relaxing in the sun.  I love that lake!

Crochet Baby Slippers

I've been wanting to try out this pattern from Crafty Witch, but haven't had a reason to make baby slippers until I got invited to a baby shower for my cousin.  This pattern was pretty easy to follow and it's free! Gotta love that! 

So check out the Mary Jane Baby Slippers pattern... it's awesome :)

Photo of the Week

One of my favorite places to visit in the Wasatch Mountains........ Silver Lake!  Every time I go there I get this urge to paint.  It's so beautiful, calm, and relaxing.  I feel like I can really breathe there!

Watercolored Business Cards

So, I haven't sold much from my Etsy shop for the past year it's been open, but I still like to have cards to send with stuff when I do sell something.  So..... I printed out some cards and then splashed some watercolors on them... so fun!

The only problem is that I printed the info a bit too small.  People may need to get out their magnifying glasses to read them, but at least they're pretty :)

A Look at my Sketchbook

I've missed having geraniums to draw and paint this year.  Luckily my parents have some at their house!

Here's a little watercolor sketch (I call it a sketch because it's really not finished).  It rained on me before I could get it done.

And then I have a little pencil sketch.  Happy little red geraniums... I need to paint more of these :)

Photo of the Week

We just got home last night from our trip, so the photo of the week is late... oh well.  This is one of the sunsets I got to enjoy in rural Arizona last week :)  I love going home to see them.  I don't see sunsets like this anywhere else.
