~ Whale's Tale ~

Good Morning Friends & Folk!

it is hot. ok, no more about that.

{{ except that the cats are panting, and when cats pant…well lets just say it's hot!}}

it is this time of year that I miss terribly living by the water ~ 

… I miss hearing the seagulls and smelling the fresh salt-air.

I miss seeing the sparkles on the waves and collecting seashells 

and eating lobster and clams fresh from the pot.

in my mind I visit there quite often on these muggy humid days,

 wishing I could ride my bike to the beach and dip my feet in the cold water 

and dig my toes deeply into the clammy-sand.

I am working on another little punched project to take along with me on Saturday

 to the Summer in the Valley show

and of course this one has a nod to my love for the ocean & New England.

}}} a little whale {{{

using a collaboration of Valdani & DMC threads

adding just enough detail, but keeping it primitive & folky…

I love my seashell collection ~ 

& have many from all of the beaches & shorelines I've been to in New England!

I'll be finishing the background up today, 

then will mount it to this box that Peter made & I painted ~

{{I know I'm going to love this when finished!}}

*Friendly Reminder*

the farm shop will be CLOSED this weekend!

but do come out to the show and visit us :)
