A Striped Horse and Flowers

Rose Tree

 Did you have a nice weekend? It was perfect weather here, bright wintery sun. Just how I like it. Not so many flowers around any more but  I can still create them on paper them can't I?


Striped Pony

I planted some bulbs a couple of weeks ago but I'm sad to say the squirrels got there when I wasn't looking and had a feast. I replanted the remnants with hope in my heart so only time will tell if they survive!

Thank you for your kind words on my blog about my cousin - it's a nice thought to have that he made a difference to something lasting, so thanks for mentioning it.

Like your cats!

I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
