and then . . .

not much going on in the cave lately.  summer is just rolling along.  mother nature has been providing wondrous afternoon thunderstorms.  great for the foliage.  better for creativity and napping. 

working on a an overdue present for my friend Robin.  fingers crossed it works out. 

taking a 'smash' book course.  half journal/half art book.  good class.  free.

and bright floral fabric for a new 'hippy' dress.  will start as soon as i find the ironing board under all the ironing.  sigh.

and of course our weekly trip to La's for this:
grilled chicken, fresh buffalo mozzarella, tomato, basil and spinach with basil mayo and a drizzle of balsamic reduction, on ciabatta. oh, you know i am drooling.

it's officially berry season.  plump red raspble-berries, rich deep blue berries, ripe red strawberries, not to mention sweet juicy pineapple and gorgeous avocados.  my shopping cart heads right for produce. 

oops, sorry, got side tracked there for a moment.  then there is this project, still in motion.  the larger flies are up, still have to make the smaller one:

sorry about the graininess.  i was too lazy to pull out my Canon. and since mother nature is again showering us with goodness, there was not enough light for my cell phone.  in case you haven't seen these all over pinterest, they are tri-layered and i added jute for the tails and antennae.  they will eventually climb all up the wall.

i feel a wonderful snooze coming on.  see ya later.
