February 19th. Up north here we are in the grips of winter. Spring arrives on March 20th. That is not to say that on March 20th we will wake up and the trees will be budding, birds will be singing and we’ll be running around in shorts and t-shirts. Most likely there will be a snowstorm.
So this morning I went into my archives and stared lovingly at all my flower photos. These beauties are at least 3 months away… but dreams can happen at any time and dreaming is what I am doing.
Today is Texture Tuesday at Kim Klassen Cafe. The only requirement is that we use one of the textures from the Downton collection. I chose kk_cora on soft light, white oak on soft light, and sheet music on darker. I played around with the opacity of each layer until I was happy.
Speaking of Downton – we’re catching up on the third season – I’m not going to discuss it because I know others are still catching up too. Wish I could talk….
One more thing – I just found out that one of my recipes has been accepted to Food Gawker!!!! Oh Happy Day! I’ve only been rejected a hundred times… It’s my Roasted Sugar Pumpkin Soup – it will appear sometime today – do check it out!
Here’s my texture recipe (oh, yes, and that sweet font is “I Love What You Do”)
This is absolutely gorgeous, Barb!! Super work. :)
Beautiful! Congratulations on your recipe being featured!
