Summertime...

My daughter and her friends usually end up doing a little ballet on playdates... in princess dress, naturally :) This woodcut is unfinished.


Mr. Darcy and I pausing in the perennial gardens... on one of our long, blissful weekend walks.



My son's drawings always make my heart sing.


I want to plant some of these in September!




Summer is in full gear around here and we are loving every minute of it. The kids are doing dance camps, vacation bible school... and lots of swimming. I'm trying new yoga classes and it is such a rich, satisfying experience. More woodblocks are in the planning and making... and a painting or two will begin this summer as well - itching to get out the brushes and dive in. Hubby is super excited to make his first batch of beer :) I'm going to come up with a lable and he can begin his dream of becoming a brewmeister!

Hi Beth,
Thank you so much :) I'm looking forward to carving the corgis, it's going to be fun.

Yes, summer in WA... love it. I'd love to see the beach at the end of your road, you wrote about it a few times and I can't get a picture in my head!
