insta-bug

my blog has been a little silent lately,

but my pencil and watercolor brush have still been busy.

and while i wasn't looking,

i was bitten by the instagram bug!

to see more of my little illustrations,

please join me over at instagram here!

p.s.  i'm over at Facebook, too!

first bloom

every Spring i purchase a thriving lavender plant,

and usually by the middle of the Summer 

it's withered away due to sweltering heat and my over-ambitious watering.

so this year, i took a different approach and decided to 

let the plant tell me when it wanted water, and other plantly-type stuff.

i'm not harvesting fields of glorious blue-purple blooms just yet, but

my little lavender sweetie has produced its first heavenly-fragranced bloom, 

so i'm celebrating on a page in my journal…..and shouting a big woo-hoo!
here's to you, Mother Nature!!
