A Lovely Day

I just have to share this photo of last night's sunset clouds, as they were so different to what we normally see.

Today, it has been blue skies and sunshine all day.  Yellow sunshine, just like my freesia and the lemons.

I sat in a sunny window for a while and did some stitching on my apron.

I experimented with a different watercolour technique, but I'm not sure if I like the results or not.
But I did have fun doing it, and that is the main idea of my sketching. 

The grape is about ready to burst its buds.

After lunch, I visited Rusty and his hooomans.  I was lucky to grab this photo as he really does not like cameras.  One has to be sneaky to get a good photo of Rusty!

It has been a really lovely day.

  3. Rusty is definitely giving you the 'how dare you?' Look. Your water colour looks good, perhaps a good base for some detail in ink?

  12. That sounds a most satisfying day Margaret - I miss watching a grape vine bud - one day I may have another one, but there are more important things needed first.
    Not sure how I missed this post, but have been out of commission for a couple of days, so who knows
