this is the first time i've been able to capture a living creature close up on a flower.

and another one, though it's not very pretty, i was excited.

oh how i love wildflowers.

some projects i'm working on

my first sewing project - i'm making a capri and top set for my daughter.

have the pieces all cut out now, just need to sew them together!

a painting i started last summer, and just finished a couple days ago.
this picture was taken with the flash off, so it's pretty "warm."

this one is with the flash, it's brighter. i like this one better.

my inspiration was the sunflowers growing along the side of our garage last summer.

roses

these lovely things bloom in our backyard every spring. i love how their fragrance fills the house when i bring some in.

spring blooms

i was experimenting with backdrops today. i rather like the way these turned out. they are tulips and daffodils in my back yard. i stuck a piece of tag board behind them. some have too many shadows, but i posted them because other than the shadows, they're pretty pictures.
