Good morning BlueSky🦋!! I hope your Saturday is filled with the things, pets, and people you love. ❤️

Lee S Hee's art is often populated with children, cats, knitting, crochet, and yarn. It couldn't be more charming. 🧶

Birds, dragonflies and winged creatures 🐦‍⬛🪶

“Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly.”
― Langston Hughes
