Spring Glory!

Hello, Spring!

Happy Spring! There has been snow, lots of rain, bulbs and trees are beginning to grow, and there are so many birds. There is a chance of more snow, but it will melt. The hand knit vest was a gift for a wee baby boy. Tiberius is super excited about all the birds that keep him busy rushing from window to window. Hope all is well in your corners of the planet. Take care of each other and enjoy the journey. ox

March Snow

 March came in like a lion, a windy and snowy storm last week. This week things are warming up and the snow is beginning to slowly melt. We removed a good portion of the snow off the back roof this past Saturday. Finally making progress on a quilt commission that I have been struggling with. This second quilt front above is complete and I will be renting time on a long arm quilting machine in two weeks time to quilt the three layers together. Feels good to be making headway with both projects. I have a couple of knitting projects on the needles that I am enjoying, a wee vest and a shawl. Hiking and skiing this Winter have been thoroughly entertaining.
I like this quilt pattern and would like to make my own version at some point.
Paula's work never ceases to amaze and inspire.
This photographer is amazing!

The Sun Has Made An Appearance!

Snow

Although it was a very warm December, we now have snow and it will be well below freezing tonight and tomorrow. Snow has a way of making everything look so pretty and the way it muffles sound is beautiful.

What A Difference Two Days And Wind Can Make!

The above images were taken two days apart, there was quite a bit of wind during that time and we had our first bit of snow, which melted almost straight away. Our back yard is a pretty shade of bronze at the moment, it almost seems to glow when the sun peeks through the clouds at random moments. Autumn presents an ever changing visual display, enjoy the moments.

Fleeting Days Of Summer

Spring Beauties

 Been awhile, so many times I have started to compose something in my head and then I don't seem to get to the computer to type it into a post. An amazing visit occurred just over a week ago now, still absorbing and contemplating. Will devote a good long post to that soon. Nearly finished another quilt, working on the hand stitching of the binding, will post images in a few days. Spring is beautiful around here, we have had some rain this week so everything is green and bright and lovely. Wishing each of you much joy and peace. Take care and I will be back soon.
Enjoy this wondrous journey.

So Much Growth And Colour!

More Snow

Another snowfall and things look like we are inside a snow globe. Later in the week will mark one year since our arrival back in Canada. We are both enjoying being back and are adjusting well. Been keeping busy with some hand knitting, still working my way through my Auntie's yarn, generously given to me by my cousins. Ten toques so far and all recipients have expressed their appreciation. The hat pattern I have used predominately is by Wiksten and is called Snöflinga.  The hand knit socks are a Christmas gift for my sweetie this year. Take care of each other and be well.
