It's a Beautiful Day in Pittsburgh, PA! 

I'll take it, yesterday was a blistery, wet, Dank (one of my favorite words Dank) day. But with all the dankness and encouragement from friends, I decided to get my watercolors out again. It came back to me like riding a bike. I enjoyed a fire and my watercolors. I think at least once a month I will do a watercolor converted to Punch needle, and feature them on the blog. So follow along won't you, I think it will be fun!

Have a safe and wonderful day!
