  7. That hat picture is just too cute!
    The sculpture exhibition looks so amazing - I saw Jaume Plensa'a 'Love Sounds' exhibition in Germany many, many years ago and loved it! Shame that Yorkshire can still be so far, even if you do live in England..

  11. What a pretty bird! I need to get a bird feeder already! I love the gnome hat, I've been wanting to make one for a while now but haven't gotten around to it yet, hopefully in time for winter for Indigo. Your drawing is awesome; love all those colorful patterns. You are really making me want to bust out my pens and scribble! Have a great weekend MJ.

  12. Love that hat! Fabulous! I will have to see if I can make my way up to the sculpture park one day, it looks fantastic. The "This moment" link reminded me (with a little tear in my eye) that my "baby" will be 13 in 10 days and that I'm not going to see those moments again... Have a lovely weekend xo
