A Lazy, Quiet Weekend

 The weekend was quiet for me...
The hubs had a lot of errands and "mom care" to tend to, I stayed home.
It was very hot and humid, all weekend, I prefered to stay indoors and "make things".
I watched some pre-season football, KC lost but Patrick Mahomes did not play, no fun there.
I spent time knitting, all of which needs to be ripped out, nothing to show for there.
I started and almost finished a new project I will probably share tomorrow, and
I did some watercolor painting...I have moved on from flowers to the birds.

I keep everything in the basket I made in the class that Liz taught.
All of my supplies fit very nicely in this basket and I like that all of the things I need are in one place.

- it's not that messy -

- bluebird -

- cardinal -

- hummingbird -

- goldfinch -

- bluejay -

I accomplished a lot of little things around the house.
Insignificant to others, but for me it felt great!!

We had a really nice rainstorm last night, thunder, lighting and a lot of rain.
It really cooled things off!
Have a great week!

If we didn't have things to do indoors to keep us busy I'd go crazy!

We had a quiet weekend at home as well, except for church. You're the best bird photographer I know and now your painting birds 🐦 too!! 😊

I love your watercolors Debbie, so nice. You are very good. I know, I do things that no one would ever notice, but me and they make me happy. I love your watercolors.

I enjoy quiet weekends, Debbie. And I think you're watercoloring is coming along very well. I haven't done any in a while.

Love that you make so many different things. The basket and the Temari ball are beautiful. I like your loose style painting. So relaxing. I hope you didn't have to unravel too much of the knitting.
