Ahhh, settling back into life at home. For a little while, anyhow. I'm doing a bit of beautification in my studio here and trying something new: using what I have onhand to create some organization and prettyishness instead of going out to buy new things and spending a fortune, which is what I usually do. I can't get enough color around me at the moment. I'm clinging to everything green just as the world around me turns brown. Summer is so hard for me to love. I will give you a try again, hot lady, but you are simply not my type.

I got these veggie bins at Michael's last year and my gobs of yarn work well in here. It's just about the hottest it will be all year here, and I'm all juiced up to start knitting for the holidays!

I mentioned being a bit obsessed with citron-yellowy-green a few posts ago, in reference to the deer piece- and as it turns out it was featured in Etsy's Treasury West section, which I had no idea existed. It's like a little underground Treasury where the treasure- seekers go for inspiration. I was way flattered. Citron Expressions was the name of the collection. I wish I had time to sit and wait for Treasury spots to open up!

Tonite I'm sewing a curtain to cover the shipping supplies and overflowing fabric baskets underneath my taller table and I've really had fun with the composition part of it. As with my paintings, if I ignore all of the rules I learned in school, I have much more fun. I've always wanted to sculpt, so playing around with fabrics and yarn, and using my sewing machine as something it really wasn't intended for, & felting with soap and water gives me a fix. I should be able to get the thing hung by Friday so you can have a peek.

Will fall be here anytime soon? *wink* Please hurry.
