Public Library

The public library closest to my house is one of my fav places to hang out. With its enormous collection of books and cds they serve as each book lover's fantasy. The staff there are friendly and they are quite helpful in locating any books that you need help with. In fact, it remains a mystery to me how they are able to remember the location of each book whereas it looks like a jungle to me with rows upon rows of books lined up to perfection. This library with its collection of fiction, regional, factual, maps, encyclopedia, and whatever a reader's mind desires, is frankly a place that I love.

Peacock

I have been working on this pretty cross stitch design of a peacock. This design has peacock sitting so superiorly in a tree with breathtaking pink, mauve, and maroon flowers. The contrast of the blazing colors of the peacock feathers with its deep blues, the light blues, the reds, the blazing yellows, and the burnt oranges with the flowers, the leaves, the sky, and the tree creates a breathtaking canvas of vibrant colors. I have been working on this design for almost 2 months now and hope to finish this design by this month. It still needs to be framed and then Viola! it is ready to grace my living room.
