The table was set with an exquisite pedestal chandelier. Delightful piano music wafted through the door. The King, the Prince and the Princess looked over the royal menus.

At the Queen's Restaurant, the table glowed from the light of the beautiful chandelier and candle on the table.

“What would you like to order?” asked the Queen.
"What would you like to eat?" asked the Queen.

“What would you like to eat?” asked the Queen.


“I want a fruit tray,” said the Prince.
The King watched as the Queen ducked under the table to pick up a menu.

“I will have steak, a sweet potato and peas,” said the King. “I would like Sesame Chicken, please,” said the Princess.
4 Queens Restaurant-5
There was a commotion over by the door as the guests finished reading the menus.

“WHAT?” the prince and princess yelled, “There is a horse looking in the door!”
A horse peeks his head through the dining room door!

“Oh dear, oh dear!” said the queen as she rushed to the door and tried to get the horse out of the room. The Dragon was a bit distracted but he continued playing piano music to calm the diners.
The Dragon tries to keep playing the piano, despite the antics of the Horse.

“I must hurry to cook the food!” said the Queen as she entered the kitchen. “At least the cake is done. It looks great!”
The beautiful decorated cake in the Queen's Restaurant kitchen was ready for serving.

The queen went up to the garden where she picked herbs and fresh oranges from the tree.

The kitchen bustled with activity as the meals were made.
10 Queens Restaurant-9
Many meals were made ready for guests.

Soon the King was eating his delicious steak and sweet potato and peas. The Princess thought her sesame chicken was delicious and the Prince enjoyed his fruit, especially the watermelon and strawberries. He also got some extra food because he was still hungry.
12 Queens Restaurant-12
“Would you like dessert?” the Queen asked. “Yes please!” they all said.
13 Queens Restaurant-15
“I have to use the restroom,” said the King. The Prince and Princess ate all their food until there were just crumbs on their plates.
14 Queens Restaurant-18
The Queen set the table with a plate of delicious chocolates, cupcakes and hot chocolate. The King had coffee.
15 Queens Restaurant-17
Meanwhile, the Horse and Dragon went upstairs to the tea room because they were hungry too.
16 Queens Restaurant-19
They looked over the menus and gave their orders to the Queen.
17 Queens Restaurant-20
“This carrot is delicious,” said the Horse. “This is very tasty chicken,” said the Dragon. “Next time, I will order four whole chickens and skip the peas.”
18 Queens Restaurant-21
Downstairs the guests finished their desserts. “Please refresh yourself in the garden,” said the Queen.
19 Queens Restaurant-16
Soon everyone was in the garden getting fresh air.
20 Queens Restaurant-22
Everyone had lots of energy because they ate so much dessert and didn’t want to just stand around.
21 Queens Restaurant-23
The Prince was fascinated with the fountain, especially since it had fish in it.
22 Queens Restaurant-26
“No, No!” said the Princess. “You must not get in the fountain!”
23 Queens Restaurant-24
The Prince wanted to catch the fish. The Princess ran to talk to the horse.
24 Queens Restaurant-27
The Princess fell over but then she got up and started running after the Prince and they decided to play a game of chase in the castle, going up and down the stairs. That upset the Queen because it was her restaurant so she locked herself in the secret room under the stairs so she would be safe while everyone was running around.
25 Queens Restaurant-25
And there the story ended because the lively game of chase throughout the castle required all hands so no more pictures could be taken.

I have a habit of painting realistic color so this painting layer is just to get it out of my system before trying something new. What? There is a brush in the water? 0_0 Noooo... Things happen when toddlers climb on tables. . πŸ’  . #thatbabythough #watercolor #watercolorpainting #paintingafternoon #oldchairs #chairdrawing #chairpainting #chairsketch #tatteredchairs #oldisgood #sketch #fabricdesign #drawing #patterndesign #surfacepatterndesign #surfacepattern #creativelife #thepatternchallenge #evercreating #allsparkledupdesign #allsparkledup #tatteredchairsdesign
I'm participating in a 5 day surface design challenge by Bonnie Christine of Flourish. Here are the sketches I'll be working with - Old Chairs. These are all chairs we have known and loved, the chairs we held sick babies in, read books in, played hide and seek behind... some very old, some no more. The older I get, the more I cherish "tattered." <3 . πŸ’  . #oldchairs #chairdrawing #chairsketch #tatteredchairs #oldisgood #sketch #fabricdesign #drawing #patterndesign #surfacepatterndesign #surfacepattern #creativelife #thepatternchallenge #evercreating #allsparkledupdesign #allsparkledup

All the fall stuff is put away. Autumn gets three glorious months of celebration but Christmas gets mere weeks, barely a month. This was the arrangement I kept on the coffee table. . πŸ’  . #fallarrangement #flowerarrangement #artificialflowers #fallflowers #vaseofflowers #homedecor #goodbyeautumn #allsparkledupdesign #allsparkledup

I never wash the crystal the day of a dinner. That's a very pleasant task the day after in the sun, slow and gleaming and a reminder they were all here. . πŸ’  . #washingdishes #dryingdishes #crystalgoblets #glassware #dryingglassware #allsparkledupdesign #allsparkledup

The fall arrangements are different every year, using the same stems, always so cheerful and bright. I'm glad Christmas follows Autumn because it's bittersweet packing away the pretty oranges and yellows. . πŸ’  . #foyerarrangement #fallarrangement #flowerarrangement #artificialflowers #fallflowers #vaseofflowers #homedecor #goodbyeautumn #allsparkledupdesign #allsparkledup
She didn't want to take it off. She loved wearing my apron and stirring a little dish of toys. She swished around the room, sweeping the long ties out of her way as she walked. . . . #pretendcooking #wearinggrandmasapron #williamssonoma #williamssonomaapron #teachthemyoung #grandchildren #shesalwaysbusy #toddlertime #allsparkledup
The Putz House pillows are done but I might add more sequins to them. I've been working on the Bottle Brush Tree Pillows embroidery, doing a little straight stitching with gold thread around the ornaments. This fabric is from a cut & sew panel I have in my Spoonflower shop, Vintage Christmas Putz House Pillows. . πŸ’  . #putzhouse #Christmasdecor #Christmasdecorations #Christmascrafts #diypillow #diy #pillows #forthekids #spoonflower #juliamonroedesign #cutandsew #bottlebrushtree #bottlebrushtreepillow #conepillow #spoonflowerfabric #fabric #handsewing #goldembroidery #sewingproject #fabricpanel #allsparkledupdesign #allsparkledup

I made a number of mistakes while making my poured watercolor painting in Ryan Fox's class at Art of the Carolinas. It was crazy hard to see the clear masking fluid and figure out which tiny areas needed covering before pouring more paint. The very last layer of poured paint created the darkest areas, the only part of the paper still exposed. Everything else was masked. It was so fun using just three primary colors, although I did use two blues, cobalt and cerulean, and two yellows, cadmium and yellow ochre. I was doubtful I would get nice dark tones but Ryan assured me Rose Madder would provide the necessary tone to achieve a good black. This is my finished painting. I admire Ryan Fox's skill all the more. Poured watercolor is so addicting! I'll definitely try this again. . πŸ’  . #pouredwatercolor #watercolorpaintingclass #watercolor #artclass #ryanfoxpaintingclass #maskingfluid #maskingfluidwatercolor #watercolorpainting #allsparkledupdesign #allsparkledup
Ryan Fox @RFox90 let us watch his process of creating a poured watercolor painting at Art of the Carolinas. How amazing that just three primary colors create all this texture and tone, light and shadow. When the painting was done, Ryan rubbed off all the masking fluid, which covered nearly the entire sheet of paper, to reveal the masterpiece. What a gorgeous painting! I hope he posts the finished painting on Instagram. It was magical watching the painting appear from under the masking fluid. . πŸ’  . #pouredwatercolor #watercolorpaintingclass #watercolor #artclass #ryanfoxpaintingclass #maskingfluid #maskingfluidwatercolor #ryanfox #ryanfoxpainting #watercolorpainting #allsparkledupdesign #allsparkledup
Last week I attended a terrific painting class taught by Ryan Fox @RFox90 at Art of the Carolinas. The class was Poured Watercolor and it was quite a stretch for me artistically. Since I'm familiar with Pysanky, I was able to grasp the concept of masking and sequential layers of paint. But even then, it was quite a challenge. We used just the three primary colors - red, yellow and blue. This is early in the process. . . . #pouredwatercolor #watercolorpaintingclass #watercolor #artclass #ryanfoxpaintingclass #maskingfluid #maskingfluidwatercolor #watercolorpainting #allsparkledupdesign #allsparkledup

The three little Christmas Putz House Pillows are almost done. This evening I'm sewing on the little fence pieces. This project wasn't hard but it's not for beginners due to a lot of hand sewing. They're soooo cute though! My granddaughter loved them before they were even finished! . πŸ’  . . #putzhouse #putzhouses #littleChristmashouses #Christmasdecor #Christmasdecorations #housepillows #littlehouses #crafts #diypillow #diy #pillows #forthekids #littleChristmashouse #spoonflower #spoonflowerpanel #juliamonroedesign #cutandsewproject #cutandsew #cutandsewpanel #spoonflowerfabric #spoonflowerproject #fabric #sewing #sewingproject #fabricpanel #allsparkledupdesign #allsparkledup
