Sunday Mishmash

In my mind I've written about ten blog posts to you already, but in reality I haven't spent much time on the computer. Instead, I've been hanging out with my little family.

Don't you love how Winslow decided to pose for pictures for Daniel the other night?

With temperatures that still scream SUMMER, I've desperately been looking for evidence of fall and finding some in our own yard.

I've been visiting my new fave art supply store in Savannah with Daniel - only buying three tubes of paint this time. What restraint!!

I just had to share with you the colorful art of local folk artist Panhandle Slim (you can find him on Facebook and see more of his art). Daniel and I own a couple of his pieces and just love them! If you click on the photo, you should be able to read some of the quotes. (Sorry Frida's and Vincent's heads got cut in half by the lighting fixture...)

We've been hanging out at our favorite local cafe, reading and sipping coffee and watching the interesting folks who live in and visit Savannah.

I've been super busy at my sewing machine, making colorful little clutches.

They are really pretty, even if I say so myself! :-)

And I've been back in my studio for many hours, painting layers upon layers and having the best time!

I find that with this long process, I have to have two or more pieces in the works at once as I have to let every layer dry before going on to the next one. It sure is teaching me some patience!

Tomorrow, we are finally expecting a cool down and not a moment too soon! I am beyond ready for fall and I must say that that is my most difficult season here in the south. You'd think it would be the hot summer, but that I expect. It's the fall that never seems to arrive. I miss it! I'm ready for long pants, socks, jackets, pies, soups and stews and all the wonderful things I associate with preparing for hibernation... 

I have so much to share with you - recipes and other things, but for now my studio is calling me again. Happy Sunday to you all and thank you so much for visiting!!
