tea talk . . .

Have breakfast with me... tea? coffee? sandwich? apple? Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. I think sometimes I go to bed happy... knowing that a hot cup of tea or coffee is going to be there in the morning:).

my jumbo clicks magnets by iPop . . .

A very happy little package arrived at my door this afternoon. It contained samples of the jumbo sized magnets iPop (the Madison Park Group) has created with my illustrations. I really love the way they turned out!
Sadly, my fridge door isn't magnetic... I'll have some other place to stick them on:)

gardens love warm summer rain . . .

Another little tribute to summer, warm rain, root spirits, large butterflies and all things green.

everything is coming up colour . . .

Last week has been just as busy as this pattern. Wall to wall. I've got a really fun project on my hands and it's keeping me mighty busy... but, I just had to stop and make a pattern. I wonder if I have an addiction:).

For todays 'show and tell' - Mudpuppy's Fairies 42 Piece Puzzle that I've illustrated for GALISON mudpuppy. Flowers, fairies and a castle... all a little girlie heart desires.

Avian Spirit . . .

Here comes the avian spirit of the summer. The heat and the flowers... and the children spending all their school-free time outside. We better enjoy it, as it will spread its wings and leave us in a few months.

watercolors . . . afield . . .

Some weekend watercoloring to show you:)... heavily influenced by the 'Borrowers' series (by Mary Norton) me and the girls are reading in the evenings. The borrowers are Afield at the moment, as are my watercolors.

happy father's day! . . .
