Maya loves her siblings but not their noise. Singing, cheering, tantrums, and crying. The racket never ends! But when she runs away to get some peace and quiet she learns that a life without them is not all it's cracked up to be either. #PB #PitMad

When you want dried florals for winter and your neighbor gives you cardoon thistles but your house is small with nowhere to actually dry flowers this big YOU FIND A WAY.

Thank you, backdoor coat hooks. 😁 https://t.co/Q9I2cnWB8g

It's dahlia season and I'm happy to have these in the garden this year. A neighbor was giving away their extra bulbs in Spring and I grew these in a pot - so beautiful! @ Seattle, Washington https://t.co/TBWiIt7Ch5

Quotes and coffee. I did another literary art baby for 6X6NW using a watercolor percolator design I made a while back. Do you know who said this and in what novel? @ Seattle, Washington https://t.co/AjWShLuK6t

I've been breaking out the ink and watercolors for my 6X6NW submissions. This was my Friday night. I'm also planning three embroidered pieces. Must use all the skills... apparently. @ Seattle, Washington https://t.co/JY3gWxFWoJ

Here's what's blooming in the garden this August. I did a poor job of capturing July (seriously, where did that month go?) And so missed out on capturing the salvias and the astilbes. @ Seattle, Washington https://t.co/mkzLS2Muy3

I'm officially in LOVE with this one. This was the one project in the Floral Embroidery book that I *had* to do because the color combination is so calming and subdued. @ Seattle, Washington https://t.co/GludcKhRGB

I've been learning bouquet embroidery this past week using patterns from Floral Embroidery by Teagan Olivia Sturmer.

I love the squished and chunky nature of bouquet embroidery. And the flowers of course. https://t.co/s6yuSlTSzy
