I love Nessie the Lakeness Dragon. I can’t seem to get a really good photo of her, though. I’ll keep trying.

Let’s Dance
These are Kay’s boots that I borrowed for sketching purposes. I just learned how to add the text overlay in Photoshop.
Sleepy Kitty
I hand-embroidered this sleepy kitty, based on the image in the book Stitchy Kitty Fuzzy Puppy by Ayaka Otsuka. Hand work isn’t something I usually want to do, but every once in a while I get the urge.
Sashed Half Hexagon Quilt in Asian Fabrics
I have an easy time buying beautiful fabric but a hard time it cutting up. I managed to do just that, however, for this Sashed Half Hexagon quilt in Asian fabrics. It will soon go to the quilter, then the binding goes on. After that, I will give to a friend who is unaware I am making a quilt for them. And it’s someone who doesn’t read my blog, so I am totally safe in showing it to everyone else.
The pattern is the Sashed Half Hexagon by Missouri Star Quilt Company.
Faceted Texture
I photographed some textured glass and decided to use it as the background for a few montage photographs. It seemed like a good idea, but I didn’t quite get the results I intended. The other photographs are from the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
Textured glass
American Beauty Berry. The texture hardly shows up at all.
Pineapple flower (probably not its real name). In real life it’s purple but I played around with the color a bit. I wish it had been more in focus.
I managed to capture the windmill in motion, using a slow shutter speed. That took several tries to adjust my camera settings.
It's a long story ...
