This was done in Colorado 

It looks smoky, too, though the fires hadn’t reached their current extent when I painted this. 

Going and Coming

Leaving Colorado

The fires made some stupendous smoke billows.

The flowers at home are still blooming. The frost has held off for me to enjoy them. 

And this oddity we ate for supper. I think a pumpkin crossed with a butternut squash. It was tasty.

Virtual Quilt Show

 Hey y’all !

My quilt guild has an annual quilt show every October. This year they decided to have an online Virtual Quilt Show rather than an in-person, tactile experience as usual (I’ll let you guess why that absurdity)

The positive side of that is that anyone from anywhere can view the beautiful projects that were completed in sewing rooms here this year. Follow this link to view.

This year I actually completed some quilts (I don’t usually!) but I don’t get to have a public, in person display. Oh well. Three quilts are in the “Wall-Pieced” section. One is in “Art Quilt- Realistic”

This quilt show is ONLY THIS WEEKEND- Friday, Saturday and Sunday so don’t delay taking a look! Lots to inspire and delight!

Busy week in Colorado. Traveling back to Switzerland tomorrow. But here is a small painting I did for a card.

Baptism Festivities

For Twins

Getting ready, the week before. Restaurants can’t have groups, so we “stayed home.”

A gift from maternal grandparents-hand made in Colorado. 

German Feast for October

And a crowd of mostly family gathered to rejoice as two souls were welcomed into God’s Kingdom. 

A Little Nothing

 Once again, I have hardly anything to show for the week.

'Tis a phone doodle in which the child actually turned out like a child and not like a deranged little old monster, haha yay

 Still working on comics, and working, and doing other odds and ends of things.

 I am wondering (again) if it is even worthwhile for me to post to the blog at all? I'm not in art school, and now I don't see myself going again, for anywhere from a really long time, to not at all. I do still have some Craftsy classes saved that we never got around to yet, but I don't know where I could squeeze in the time to do them with all this other stuff going on. That would create some shareable content, though, probably... I don't know, haha!

 As it is, I obviously don't have the stuff to do Inktober this year like I wanted to. I'll probably do a couple of pieces, mostly doodly, but definitely am not making something with ink every day this month. I'm glad I was able to do it last year, though! It was fun, and something I'd really wanted to try to do.
