I wanted to include the word 'summer' somewhere, and after much thought over both using the word and also trying to fill that space to the left of the beach sign, I decided that maybe a heart might just be the answer. I love summer the bestest - so a heart seemed fitting. Ribbon roses, gold metallic thread and a teeny little butterfly button completed the section.
That left a little bit of 'grass' so I added the star-shaped sequins topped with black star beads on the seam and then the butterfly charm and his flight path was added.
this quote would be fitting to share today.... "We cannot control the tongues of other people, but we can watch our own" and there's also this one: "To rule one's self is the first duty of every man"

Summer love! perfect. I like the butterfly and stars too.
ReplyDeleteHave I mentioned your little fence and flowers catch my eye each time I view new additions around that area.
I have fallen SO far behind in reading my favorite blogs. I thoroughly enjoyed sipping my coffee and reading back through your posts to see what you have been up to. I have to admit that I am absolutely in love with your summer pillow cover. The lighthouse is amazing. I LOVE the white fence with the little pink flowers growing beneath it. The beach sign is fabulous. The gulls are so much fun. And the flowers that you extended down to the bottom of the fabric are wonderful. This is such a gorgeous piece of art. Beautiful work! I'll be back to just admire it again soon, I am sure! (((Hugs)))
