Some new friends.

I met these new friends on Saturday at my aunt's farm!

The Eco Etsy Street Team Blog.

One of my tea towels was featured in this blog today.

The Houses Next Door

I've started to make ornaments out of aluminum cans.

Houses and the Praying Mantis.

New Items on Etsy.

I have a few new flour sack tea towels and lunch sacks up on my etsy store. Check them out at www.tlane.etsy.com
The link is to the right, here on my blog.

Two Paintings.

I've been watercolor painting/drawing a bit this past week. Here are 2 paintings. The first is of my kitchen window and the second is of a Crepe Myrtle by the railroad track.

Grasshopper on the scene.

While watering tonight in the hot 100 degree wind, I noticed something hanging onto the cosmos.

It was hard to see at first because everything was moving around so much.

I was finally able to get a good look at this grasshopper! So neat!

Garden Update.

Blue and purple morning glories, peppers, zucchini, corn stalks, tomatoes and marigolds! The garden is growing wild. I hope to make some more zucchini bread soon. The first two loaves were a hit! The morning glories are just so lovely and magical though. I love flowers that only open up during certain times of the day and especially when they are blue!

A Visitor

When I went out to water this evening, I found this baby praying mantis chilling out on one of the cosmos and he let me take some photos! He's a little blurry, but he looked really cool in real life! I hope he visits again tomorrow.
