Night Owls Tweet - Week 1

I love to design late at night (or early in the morning, depending on your view of where 2am sits in the scheme of things ;)

Lost in a world of colour, pattern and design repeats, it's great tweeting with twitter friends who are wide awake on the other side of the world.

One night Shey B (from Arizona USA) tweets:

"Hey! I just got a SWEET idea! Wanna play?”
"lol - so long as it's SWEET" I reply ...
Several tweets later "Night Owls Tweet" was born:

Over the next 52 weeks, Shey B and I, will attempt to blog a total of 365 photos. Each posting ... 7 photos, from the last 7 days, (on alternate Monday Nights) 

If a picture tells a thousand words - then this should be a fun way to get acquainted, while seeing, week to week, glimpses of the changing colours and seasons on opposite sides of the world :)
So without further ado, here is:

Night Owls Tweet : Week 1

#1 - Blue skies shining at me - nothing but blue skies do I see.
#2 - Lavender blooming on a cloudy day.
#3 - Wondering "Will I ever finish my new rag quilt?"
