Pastel drawing 5x7"- this is how the treeline looked this evening. The fields in the foreground were nearly chartruce greens, but the trees were almost black in comparison because of the sun's position.

New over-the-shoulder bag. The bag is made from 2 green placemats, folded nearly in half so that one pocket is on the outside, the other on the inside. 2 zippers and embroidered wasp - roughly following a small pattern. The shoulder strap is an old canvas belt. very sturdy, been using it for a couple of weeks now.

OK, this is kind of pushing it - but I made the garden, so it counts. (I almost posted the eggs I fried this morning...)

My ever-changing rock and junk garden by the back door. I'm also collecting glass and ceramic fragments I find in the yard to make something out of.
