I just notice I've done 800 posts - wow that seems like a lot. I think later in the week I will need to celebrate with a giveaway.john has a lot of wonderful drawings of natural objects in his sketchbook - we thought it would be a nice idea to collect these different objects and create a specimen like tea towel with all these nice autumn time plants and objects - I'm thinking they would look great in bright red on our lovely hemp and organic cotton fabric. john is such a talent.I need to post an image of all four of us are sitting down quietly sketching and drawing
such a sweet moment for me.

    Amazing line drawings. I was on a field trip with my daughter's class on Wednesday and was admiring fallen pine cones. I love the patterns in nature.
