images for Sunday




I'm doing Jill's rosette swap, so i have been practicing making some and getting my style and flair down before deciding which one will go off to my swap partner. I always worry that i will end up picking a color that they aren't fond of, so i guess i'll make a few more neutral tone ones as well. if you were my swap partner, which one grabs your attention first?

more images from the garden to enjoy:





do you know what this interesting creature is? it is a hummingbird moth. this is only the 3rd time i've ever seen one. i think they are cool and they do look like tiny hummingbirds at first.

this is the inside of a gigantic hibiscus

and a lovely Monarch stopped by to feed on some juicy nectar from a butterfly bush

Happy Sunday! I am off to pick up my flea market cowboy boots from the shoe repair place. they needed to be resoled. i'll be taking them off to Maine in a few days as Dillon and i head up to teach at Art in the Rough.

  4. Gorgeous post, Kecia! I absolutely love that butterfly pic...and the hummingbird moth - I've never heard of such a creature! All of your rosettes are lovely, but the deep pink one caught my eye first (having said that, if I were your swap partner, I would like any x)

  5. I'm swapping, too, and I am SO jealous of whoever gets a rosette from you! They're all really beautiful, shabby chic ~ my favorite kind! I'd better get to working on mine!

    Too weird ... we had a party yesterday and there was a hummingbird moth on my butterfly tree as well!! My friend snapped a pic ... wonder if it was the same one you saw, lol!

    have a safe and fun trip!
