After reading all the sweet comments left on yesterday's post, I've decided to show you something else I just did!
I probably should mention that I am currently in my third phase of a kind of creative frenzy when I draw and paint and want to make decorative things. My first was when I was a child. Up until the age of 14, I was drawing all the time. My very favorite thing to draw at that time was faces. I absolutely adored sketching faces!
My next phase started about 10 years ago, when I painted dozens of watercolor flower paintings, and made hundreds of pieces of jewelry. I sold or gave away almost everything, but I never took pictures of anything. It was before I had a digital camera, and it didn't seem important at the time. Everything I did was for someone else.
When I picked up those children's crayons a few days ago, it was almost as if my hands remembered that joy of drawing again. So I took out some watercolor crayons I had been saving for "just the right project." If I wait for that perfect project, I'll never use them, so I just jumped in and let my hands make something without my head getting too involved.
That's how Daisy Rose was born.

whether well or badly,
is that it enables one's soul to grow."

I must also confess, that I sometimes am afflicted with a rather annoying habit of making up rhymes, poems and songs.

Daisy Rose was her name,
she had a loving heart.
And everywhere sweet Daisy went
A buzz was sure to start!
she had a loving heart.
And everywhere sweet Daisy went
A buzz was sure to start!
Buzz, buzz!
