Morning coffee sketch and blasts from the past!

I found my old handmade sketch book that was started in what looks like 2010. I added my coffee cup and a haiku this morning, and am adding a few of my past favorites. What fun to find this. At the time it was started I was doing sketches in colored inks in alphabetical order....first all fruits, then I added a hand drawn butterfly to each page, and alphabet stickers by MaryEngelbreit. It has really evolved. From there I started with some zentangles, and I see the grands have picked it up too and added some art for me!

It's a rainy night in.... Florida!

My DIL took this shot as the big rains began here tonight. It sounds so good to sleep to!

Color changing roses with time...

Roses are such fun! They bloom one color and many times turn a whole different color as they age. Here are three at different stages. The pink one is a yellow one after about three weeks post blooming.

An old desk given new purpose!

My daughter is clearing out old furniture from her room, making way for new. We were going to donate this old desk, but I thought it would make a much cuter area for succulents! Not too many succulents left in here, but what do you think????? I love it. Best part is that I view it right outside the sliding glass door from my usual couch sitting spot. YES!

Flowers in my yard today

A little of everything and some Surinam Cherries too. Everyone have a wonderful rest of the week! xoxo- Julie
