I was out for a walk the other day, and this swan was walking like a Princess, and her court seemed to be keeping a safe distance. I think she posed so elegantly that I just had to give her a crown.Lately I have been lost in Words of Inspiration for a new shop I am opening.
I have been learning more about photography, prints and textures.
Lost in designing art for a handmade show happening this weekend, and I will share what I have created on a post soon.
I have also been learning new techniques on Photoshop to design fabric better from a wonderful tutorial.Just like one of those Kaleidoscopes that you used as a kid, you can create your design in sections and put it back together again to form a seamless repeat design.

Speaking of fabric, Spoonflower just enhanced the shops. I just had to design a new banner and a button for my sidebar.
I took a break the other day and took a drive to the beach to see the sunset,
Oh I never am too busy to capture a sunset.
Have you ever noticed that just when you think
that the sun is safely tucked beyond the horizon,
it surprises you
with a lovely parade of pink and blue sky.
Wishing you a beautiful sunset, daydreams
and a swan or two.
The song for this post is Beautiful. I found a beautiful video that truly inspired my day. When you get there, just click play.Dear Pink Saturday ladies, I was trying to write a new post, and blogger was acting a bit wonky, so rather than risk any trouble, I will call it a day. Stop by and visit Bev and all the wonderful pink posts.
Wishing you a lovely Pink Saturday.

Hiya darlin-- as usual I come see you for inspiration.
Some day we need to talk -- you are always taking that next step and I am always standing back thinking i cant ... :)

Good morning beautiful Karen. Oh that swan does deserve a crown, for she is regal and upright! But don't cross her, right? teeeheeee..those birds are DYNAMITE!
Spoonflower....ahhhh.....another lovely project I need to tackle this summer. I am so trying to test my hand at poetry and I have to remember to only bite off one chunk at time. This summer is so far so wonderful and I am loving every GOD-given moment. Love to you precious, Anita
May I steal the swans picture? You usually say... ;>
Oh I am feeling better today. I was feeling horrible yesterday and slept for over 5 hours. I think I'm all caught up on missed sleep.
Thank you for the beautiful photographs of one amazing sunset. I've never seen one more lovely.
May all your inspirations keep you happily ticking along, Karen.
This post just takes my breath away, Karen. Those sunset photos are breathtaking....so beautiful.
A new shop? How fun is that!
The best of luck, dear heart/
I, too, can't get my photos to load so I guess I must skip Pink Sat. this time....:(
