Fuju Persimmons

My mom loves when the Fuju persimmons are ready, she buys them and eats them like apples. I gathered a few from her last shopping spree to paint. I am playing with watercolor, trying to get more of an oil painting feel. Here is Fuju, a 5"x7" watercolor.

My FIRST EVER CONTEST!!!!!

Hi everyone, as you all know if you follow my blog, my very first fabric line was released at Houston last month. The fabric is being ordered and wont even be shipped to stores until Feb/March of 2010. But I have some, I have it in my hot little hands. So I thought it would be fun to do a contest to win some of the fabric. So here it it my first contest!!! More to come.



Rules:Post a comment on this post of who in your life would love to have a set of "Horsing Around" pillow cases (I provide the fabric/pattern, you sew). Tell us about this special person and why you are thankful for them. From the comments I will select a winner(using Random.org) or two if need be. The winners will be able to choose the colors of their pillowcases, I will send a pattern and the fabric, of your choice,to make your special person their own pillowcases. I hope to see lots of comments and hear lots of stories of those special people in your lives. This will make a great holiday gift and its always nice to think of the things we are thankful this time of year. Good luck!!! Tell your friends to come over and comment! Hurray the contest will end on Dec 1.

Summer is winding down and the garden is giving up the last of it's
fruits. I start to get a bit depressed during this time of the year.
it could be the time change or the leaves falling. It could be that
the yard is not in full bloom anymore or the approaching cold. Once
the holiday decorations go up I will feel better
