Well Into Spring!




So things are a little different everywhere these days and certainly have been for weeks now. I trust this finds each of you healthy and sane. I have been able to finish several crafting projects and have read a few books, which is always gratifying. My days begin with a walk around our neighbourhood, which is a habit that had ebbed a bit this Winter. I have rediscovered how truly wonderfully invigorating and mind clearing it is, a great way to begin any day. Take care of yourself and loved ones, remember the importance of being kind and generous. Be well and enjoy this continually changing journey we are all on. ox

Gradation gifts, Trillium blooms and decay found during a walk in the woods.
The embroidery tulip sample on the quilt back was crafted by my husband's paternal grandmother, so wonderful to include and honour her work.
