2016 Sunny Tea Towel for Spoonflower

2016 Sunny Tea Towel, 27 x 18. © 2015 Sheila Delgado. Available at Spoonflower.com

It’s been a long time since I have entered a design in one of the Spoonflower contests. The annual Tea Towel Calendar is always a fun one. No surprise that my sunflowers would make an appearance. Sunshine in the kitchen is a great way to start the day!

If you would like to cast your vote for my design you can follow the link above. They choose a top ten, and the winner receives $100 in “spoon-dollars” which can be spent on the site. It takes roughly 250 votes to make the top ten. 500 or more to reach the number one spot. Of course that all depends on the total number of voters.

I have a second design that I will share with you soon. There is a glitch with the Spoonflower site, and I wasn’t able to upload the image. Both designs will be available for purchase, I will let you know when they are in the marketplace.

Have a spooktacular Halloween!

Ughhh!

When I scanned this I couldn’t think of a name. I typed in “Ugly”. I think it is more an indication of how I am feeling. My blog is missing a month and a half of posts. An important month. September.

The server went down, and it may or may not be fixable. The backup was behind, due to a move. If this had happened 3 weeks earlier, or one week later. Nothing would have been lost. Never fails right. There is nothing I can do, but wait. And pray, that all of those posts can be restored. All of your generous comments. The comments that kept me going. Kind words from friends.

I have been busy painting. But nothing worth showing. Got off to a good start on two of them. Then I found out about the missing posts… and I have been climbing a serious wall since. With luck, my blog will be back to normal in a week or two. (Prayers and good thoughts are welcome!)

Keeping at it though! Putting brush to paper. To canvas. I am going huff and puff and blow that wall down!

Hope you are having a creatively awesome week!

Leslie Saeta’s 30 paintings in 30 days challenge is back. There are still a few days to sign up if you’re interested. I love taking part in these. This will be my fifth challenge. Each one has been a learning experience, and my work has improved as a result. If you would like to take a look back, click on the links in the sidebar (below).

I am trying to get a few pieces painted ahead of time. Just in case. Backups, for when a days work just bombs. Here is a small peek…
