It's the first of September and I got to see my last two butterflies hatch. I hope they recognize my yard for egg laying, since all these caterpillars were brought over from Ellen Hall's yard, about five miles from mine. I felt like a third-grader getting excited about these beautiful creatures. Elizabeth, my constant companion, was fascinated at the butterfly emerging from the chrysalis. She wanted to touch but was calm as I kept her paw back. I think this one is female--with smaller yellow spots and larger blue area on back of wings (fourth picture). The fifth picture shows a male for comparison.

I entered three fiber art pieces in the South Mississippi Art Association's exhibit at the Lucile Parker Gallery on the William Carey University campus. One was pictured on the invitation (far left), and another won an honorable mention.

Pine Belt Quilters had a workshop for Leanne Green to teach us how to use a Bosal product to make this little bowl which can be molded into a curved shape. It's a clever project but took longer to make than it looks like it would. It's about 10" from top to bottom and 8" side to side.

The Interleave Symphony is finished except for black binding (so named because one of the fabrics contains composers' names), and I decided it needs to hang vertical instead of horizontal.

Your beautiful pieces coordinate with the butterfly! Elizabeth is getting unique kitty experiences with watching a butterfly emerge up close!
Hi! I realize this is somewhat off-topic however I had to ask.
Does building a well-established blog like yours require a large amount
of work? I'm brand new to writing a blog however
I do write in my journal everyday. I'd like to start a blog so I will be able to share my personal experience and views online.
Please let me know if you have any kind of recommendations or tips for brand
new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!
To answer the question by Anonymous about writing a blog, it will be as difficult as you want it to be. I intend to write more often, but Facebook posts are so simple that this often is where I write and share pictures. I do resize pics for the blog to make them upload faster. Thanks for the compliment.
