work in progress



work in progress here... a shot of my workspace at home, finishing up these little pieces for delivery. I am having a lot of fun with these little drawings. More on them later.
Yesterday was a dream day birthday. We took off to the beach under a cloudless sky. There was a soft breeze and not to many people lying about so we found our perfect spot with little effort. I heard my name being called as we dropped our things into the warm sand and looked up to find a friend and her daughter parked right next to us! We spent the afternoon swimming, walking and exploring and nibbling on yummy just picked peaches gifted to us from another friend on our way out. A lovely dinner later under a deep sienna moon capped off a perfect day, spent with my three loved ones. Driving home late late late and finding wonderful wishes in my mailbox was ever so sweet too...Thank you all for your kind wishes too!

Happy Birthday, Susan! I'm so glad that you had a terrific day with your family and friends. And I love a sienna moon, too. My heart does a little leap whenever I see one.
