…sunny, warm and quiet
After the Labour Day Weekend it gets pretty quiet at the cottage. Once the kids are back at school the rush to get to the cottage diminishes considerably. Lucky me!

…both Kevin and I are hosting our first art show together
I know that I have enough art to put on another show but I always like to create some new pieces. A while back I took a photo of a random group of buttons and I had it enlarged. In my head I envisioned stitching the buttons over the photograph and then add some more stitches around the buttons. Here is the finished piece.

For my last show I painted a mixed media meadow scene that was very popular and sold at the show. I decided to try another piece using similar techniques but this time I made it larger. It features sumacs in the foreground and spring flowers throughout the rest of this country landscape.

The show starts July 29 and runs till August 24 at Montgomery’s Inn.

On Saturday 45 homes in Southern Etobicoke opened their gardens to the public. Five of the gardens were within walking distance from my house and the other two that I visited required the car.
