Feelin' Hot Hot Hot

Pleased with today's world cup semi result, Spain vs. Netherlands in the final should be a good one.
 
I really should come up with a better system for painting.  I have an easel, which is great, especially for larger pieces, but with small ones, I usually work on the floor.  I like being able to spread supplies out, but it doesn't do my back and knees any favours.

I've got some neat Etsy related news -  I've had an item featured in a treasury list, and another on a blog!

Sunday

I am catching up on watching quarter-finals I didn't see yesterday, and have been posting new items to my Etsy while watching.  Here's a picture of one of today's new listings, and also the photo of bee balm I said I would post.  

Saturday

So, I've been out and about much of today, and will have to catch up on watching the world cup quarter-finals this evening or tomorrow, but it's been a nice day - lovely weather.  Went to a garden centre with my mother for a while, picking some new plants, and among those we chose was Bee Balm.
Bee Balm is a plant we discovered about 2 years ago I think, when we spent a day at Dundurn Castle, and got chatting with the gardener there.  It's a relative of mint, and bergamot , which is used in Earl Grey tea as a flavouring.  It's got bright red flowers.  I will post a photo soon.

I also picked up some flyers I had printed, to have on hand at the show coming up mentioning the show in November.

While Watching Germany vs. Australia

You might know I'm pretty into the World Cup at the moment, so I'm watching one of the games while doing a few things on the computer.  As I said I would, I'm now sharing a few pictures from this week.  Enjoy!
