Pink Saturday

Well this is my first Saturday posting as a part of Beverly's Pink Saturday over at How Sweet the Sound. Thanks to Beverly for organizing this and for allowing me to participate! Make sure to go over to How Sweet the Sound and check out everyone else's posts today! Here's my addition to Beverly's Pink Saturday this week:


This is a watercolor I had been working on. At this point the poppies were pink, but later they became red and yellow! I sent it to my swap partner for the Spring Swap hosted by the 6 o'clock stitch. I really like poppies and always have. They are a wonderfully graceful, yet unpretentious flower.

(Have you ever driven through Washington, DC or through Virginia in the spring? If you haven't, you should. The highways are lined with poppies and it makes for a lovely road trip.)

Have a happy Pink Saturday!

    Welcome to Pink Saturdays!! When I hear about poppies, I have to admit, I hear the wicked witch from the Wizard of Oz, when she put a sleeping spell on the field of poppies!! LOL! Your watercolor painting is really sweet! Happy Pink Saturday, and have a wonderful weekend!

    How absolutely wonderful! Beverly sure knew what she was doing when she created a place for all of us "pinkies" to congregate and share our "pinkness".

    Happy Mother's Day to you. I hope you find yourself surrounded by those you love, good food, and a gentle peace in your ♥. We don't need to be a mother to know a mother's life. After all we all started out with a mom, didn't we?☺

    Welcome! What a lovely watercolor! I read your bio and I too am a craft now, never clean up kind of gal. It is the worst...I have to admit that I have to eventually clean up as no one else will do it, but it takes me awhile.

    Happy Pink Saturday!

    When I was growing up we had poppies growing in the yard. I miss them now. I don't believe they grow here. Happy Pink Saturday!

    Your water color is Beautiful! Your swap partner was really blessed by receiving a wonderful handmade piece of Art! I love Swaps!
    I think have become addicted to them. I think the reason why I love them so much is because I like blessing my swap partners with fun treasures! Have a wonderful PINK day!

    I love poppies! So very lovely!! I was going to join Pink Saturday for my first time but didn't make it in time. I thought she had Mr. Linky. Anyway, hope you can come by for a visit.

    Pink Blessings,

    Congratulations on the blessed event! I too love poppies. They are California's state flower and they grow along the side of the road here.

    Beautiful!! I hope you will show us the finished art...it is lovely.

    Yes, I've driven in DC and somehow managed to take in the beauty AND dodge traffic...not always easy but certainly worthwhile.

    I miss that gorgeous scenery!

    Welcome to PINK Saturday!

    Hi Katie, welcome to your first pink Saturday, this was my first also. I have been a bit slow getting around to all the blogs, so many beautiful pink goodies. Your painting is beautiful. See you next Saturday.

    I love my picture, it's going in my sewing studio. My mother~in~law's front yard is covered in orange and red poppies every June. I'll post a pic on my blog Thursday. Again, thank you.
