I love fall colors...great inspiration for the colors in a quilt.

Fall colors are definitely here in my garden.

My indoor plants are loving being outside this summer.

Finished my entry into the fabric challenge. It was an underwater theme and you had to use the wavy blue and aqua material anyway you wanted and add whatever you want from your stash. It looks better in person...very fun to do for a change.

The tomatoes are starting to show signs of ripening...

AAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH! Summer is going by way too fast! It seems like I wait all year for summer and now it is almost over. What a beautiful summer we have had...just wish I could bottle it for January/February...sigh.

Our homeowners association does not allow us to plant vegetables in our garden...so here is my patio vegetable garden. The tomatoes aren't doing too bad considering they have been blown over twice by storms. And my 'stork' is holding my cucumber plant. :-)

This little bee was enjoying the roses today...I thought it was cute. Can you find it in the upper left corner?

Little Moquette just got a bath today...she hates them. She is 9 1/2 now and as feisty as ever. 3 1/2 lbs of 'know it all'...LOL!

Sorry I have been neglectful in posting here. Time just gets away from me. This is my latest commission work...darling little Melody. She belongs to Diane a wonderful and very talented seamstress who makes darling dog outfits. You can find her at www.YorkieFantasy.com . I just love all the cute outfits she has made for my furkids and I highly recommend her work.

I planted these lilies several years ago, but the bunnies and deer usually ate them before they bloomed. I had forgotten what color they were...what a lovely yellow to brighten my garden!

More garden flower pics...

Sharing pictures I took in my garden yesterday.

My Clematis at dusk tonight....bad thunderstorm on its way right now.

Still in winter mode as it is still cold here. Ugh! My latest work in progress.

Will summer ever arrive??? This photo was taken in my garden May of 2007. We must have had a warmer spring....

Moquette at her post watching the world go by.... Our snow is almost totally gone. Yippee!!!

I love horses....my latest painting.

My latest commission piece...such darling yorkies enjoying the ride on a pontoon boat.

Good thing the orchids are blooming. I have really had enough snow. At least they think its spring.

Finally finished my quilt top...now to get to the actual quilting and binding.

Definitely it is not spring yet...it is beautiful though and all of it is supposed to melt today...we will see.

Little Moquette got a hair cut...she kind of looks like a chihuahua now. LOL!

Blue Jay in winter...I am so freakin tired of winter............

Ready to sew the blocks together...

My latest watercolor.

Quilt I made for the furkids and my first try at free hand quilting...LOL! don't look real close.

Quilt beginnings....

A sweet moment during Tyler's party with his great grandma.

This is a rose I did awhile ago. I may go back to painting flowers...maybe that will help the rest of the winter go faster. I need a light box, I think.

Thought I needed a change of pace today....so the cows are looking in to see how you are doing. LOL! They are for sale...contact me if you are interested.

I have been making necklaces out of vintage silver flatware. I put this one up on ebay tonight , Item # 160200416730 . Check it out!!

Sunset last week.
