• About this design:  looking close you will see what appear to be ‘tube’ fish near the shells and plant life.  Isn’t that cool!
• The angel fish were photographed at the Banff Springs Hotel and  in Dallas, Texas.  Some are re-colored for interest.
• The puffer fish are my own imitation of the real thing and guess what gives the ‘scale’ on their backs?
• Do you like the bubbles and guess what the tentacles coming out from the sea shells are?
• Now those leafy things-what do you think they are?
• I had lot of fun designing this Fishy entry for the ‘ditsy’ design of sea creatures; perhaps with the red fish gone it would appear more ditsy/random.  Within the 8×8 nothing repeats so i thought that was quite random!
• Enjoy browsing ‘Fishy’s’ many features.

Again,  Peggy

There is little wind, the sun is shining and it feels calm and inspiring.  I have begun to develop the fabric collection around the design I call ‘Thimbles’.  Central to that design is a short phrase from Ecclesiastes which says, ‘A Time to Mend’. It seems in my life there are always things to mend!  Relationships even have a tendency to get a little battered and torn.  So today again, I had to mend a hurt relationship. Even though it was just a little hurt for a little while, it seemed too long. Thanks be to a gracious God who forgives and helps me grow; I can extend His forgiving and caring to others as well.

Peggy in sunny Calgary!
