Eva's Elephant

My laptop is up and running again so without further ado...it's story time again!

Miss Eva has an Elephant.
He's very well-behaved.
He lives out behind her house
In a little patch of shade.

They play together everyday
In the grass and sun and sand.
He's very kind and gentle.
He even holds her hand!

They pick flowers in the morning,
Sing in the afternoon.
They eat their Vegetables for dinner
Then sleep beneath the moon.

Miss Eva loves her elephant,
he keeps her safe from harm.
Her brother has an Alligator,
who always gives alarm!

Quiet Books

The theme of my creative life at the moment - quiet books. It's a labor of love. Each page starts from an idea, then there's some research, then a line drawing and then I digitize it into an embroidery. I have started primarily with animals and this week I added the following to my "zoo":
A Newt

A Rhino

A Hippo

An Elephant

Lil Hoot and I have also been busy in the kitchen this week. Last night we made a new dish - calzones filled with cheese and kale and a smidgen of marinara sauce. SO YUMMY!
