The Seamtress

Hi folks. I'm back today with with another page for Halle's Stitch in Time challenge over at Art Journal Journey

Time got away from me and I realized that there isn't many days left to join Halle, and I have this and one more page I want to share.

I started with a stenciled page, which looked too much like another stenciled page I used this month. So I painted it with some pink paint. Then I cut out this sewing images from a vintage sewing book I have had for a long time. Then I added this lady from an Art by Marlene  punch out book. But she didn't have any legs or feet so I drew those in myself. She looks to me like someone who would knit or sew. 

 And my inspiration for even making this page is my quote, which I found in an old magazine earlier this month. 

And that's my page.

Thought I'd show you the other thing I've been spending my time with this past week. More garden photos. 

My only yellow rose bloom right now.

But my orange roses are looking amazing.

I have lots of happy bees lately. I love the sound of them buzzing around me. No bee fear from me.

Milkweed growing in my flower garden. There's also some in the veggie garden. Hopefully it will attract butterflies.

Peony blooms don't last very long. which is sad.  But the remains are kind of interesting.

Just like apsaragus season is short too. But right now my plants are flowering and attracting bees galore.  The orange you see is their very full pollen sacs.

And what I thought were grapes are actually tiny little flowers. I hope they produce grapes. This is a concord grape plant and I could make some yummy jelly if they do produce fruit.

Hope you like my art and photos.

I will be by later on to visit blogs. Last night I had graduation at school (very well done with lots of seperation of people) and today we are going for a morning boat ride before the rain comes in.

Enjoy your weekend!
