New trend with batiks

Have you noticed in the last couple years that some batiks have multicolored motifs?

equilter.com sent me a $5 gift certificate for participating in a survey so I had to order some new half yards of batik.






I haven't seen many critters in my back yard lately so I was surprised to see some activity last night.  The security light came on and one of the bird feeders was swinging.  Then I noticed something furry moving and another furry thing jumping and swinging at the bird feeder.  I have a plaster bowl between 2 frogs that is filled with water for the birds that one of the creatures was drinking out of.  It was 2 racoons.  I opened and closed the window with a bang a few times and they took off UP A WALNUT TREE!!  I could see their silhouettes from the neighbor's security light as they scurried up the tree.  I'm not fond of racoons so I hope they don't come back.
