I did do more on the cutwork...honest. I discovered that disappearing ink does disappear. I drew in all the floral design and left it overnight only to discover all the ink was gone. Lesson learned.
Drove in to St. George today to deliver artwork to Kayenta and Juniper Sky Fine Arts Gallery. Lovely lady there. They sold three pieces last month, yea!
I saw a swarm of bees on a tree in a parking lot in St. George. They seemed angry, but when I got close, they seemed friendly enough, honey or killer? I don't know...
Purchased more t-shirts at the Deseret Industries for more t-shirt skirt projects. Maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself, but it was a good deal, $1 each.

Amalgam
I couldn't resist adding this to yesterday's post. Tess is smelling the proverbial roses.
I was anxiously and excitedly awaiting the bloom of this giant bud on the cactus. I noticed in the middle of the night that it had opened, but I couldn't take a decent picture and I was going to wait until the morning...
Alas, some creature ate half of it during the remaining hours til morning and I was soooo disappointed. I sprinkled cayenne pepper around the remaining flower.

The bloom is as big as the cactus |

Horseshoe Bend Painting
Watercolor painting of a recent visit to Horseshoe Bend on the Colorado River near Page, Arizona.
The striations in the water are my favorite part of the overlook.

Claret Cups are Blooming
Wow! I feel like I have to stop and catch my breath. My part-time job has started back and it is full-time this week. There are paintings to deliver and the garden to plant and dogs to walk and...and...and...claret cups blooming is the harbinger of spring in this country where the Mojave, Colorado Plateau and Great Basin meet.

Rapture Cactus
This is what my Mom is up to in Tucson. Aren't they beautiful? We went to a nursery together and each bought one of these. They are prolific and also beautiful. Now she just has to keep the javelinas at bay.

Fiesta
Gorgeous maple, bracketless shelves are now installed in the kitchen, thanks to a fantastic fine carpenter. Unfortunately, this was not Randy, but talented nonetheless. I always wanted to put the Fiestaware on display.
Boy, the wind is blowing and it's making me crazy. It's a good thing I didn't plant the garden today, it would be in Georgia.
