I am taking part in World Watercolor Month. I was tempted not to, there is already so much on my to do list. I know you know exactly what I mean. 😄

But I missed my colors. And brushes. And I am so enjoying my “new” desk. I have two other large projects going, and I am squeezing out a tiny little spot to paint these tiny little pieces. Even still, the work area feels so much more spacious. Ahhhh.

I think a little bit of the Feng Shui, rejuvenate the chi flow has made a difference as well. Isn’t that part of why we do our spring cleaning?

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Wishing you an awesome week! Enjoy!

Peaceful Blue Plaid for Spoonflower

Plaids have proven to be popular on Spoonflower. French blue is a smokey grey-blue. I brightened it up and added contrast with the crisp white windowpane plaid. Our assignment this week is French Country Table Linens. I am again taking the minimalistic route. I know it won’t put me in the top 60, but necessity won out.

Peaceful? Perky? Poised? Pleasant? Polished? 😆

Voting is now open for French Blue Plaid until the 11th. Thanks so much lifting me up! (From the bottom of the list, 😆)

I am thinking about friends, that had a horrible couple of days.
All is well now, but they are in my thoughts, and prayers.
Thinking of you too! And praying all is well in your neck of the woods!

This design started out soft, pale, tone on tone. I really liked it. Calm. What I had in mind. Then I thought about how it would look surrounded by colorful patterns. And I went bold. Or at least, bolder.

that I shall say good night till it be morrow.
