Happy spring - not!

It's snowing, for the second day in a row and it is not making me want to do anything creative. Additionally, my computer died and is in the shop, so if I want to post, I have to do it from work over lunch. Not the best situation. So I may be away for a while. So sad!

Maybe I'll have to see if I can get excited by an ongoing Christmas project to "celebrate" the weather!

Tuesday Blahs

It's Tuesday and it feels like winter is back. We had a wonderfully warm and sunny weekend and I was very productive on both the Easter piece and the Family sampler. Two days later and it's cold, wet, and getting ready to snow tomorrow and I'm working late so no sewing for me. I'm killing a little time right now while waiting for a meeting to start, so I looked at some sewing websites. This is a good one for traditional Bulgarian patterns. I think I will use some of these on my SCA garb.

Spring Posies, Easter Bunnies

Well, at least now I'm in sync with the seasons in theis hemisphere! It was gorgeous out today and I had to take some pictures of the hyacinths, miniature daffodils, and primroses. They look really good this year.






I also got out some Easter decorations today. This wallhanging is impossible to de-wrinkle. All you have to do is look at the linen and it crumples. At least it's pretty.

Bitty Quilt

Here's one that was intended for a dollhouse, but ended up as a wall hanging. I like quilts in all forms and this one was fun to make. It's about 4 by 6 inches.

I should be south of the Equator

If I were in Australia, this post would be seasonal. Here's a harvest piece I did two years ago. It says "Live within your harvest". I have a companion pattern to do someday that says "Eat what you can, can what you can't". Both are quite appropriate in today's climate crisis.

Kitties

I made this one for my daughter a few years ago (yes, it's another oldie but goodie from Just Nan and she uses it to store cards for various games. Having two photos should give you an idea of scale.



I bought (well, I ordered and had shipped to my mother, anyway) two new Just Nan patterns today - When Barnabee met Bella and Barnabee's Bride Bella. Very naughty of me, but I really liked them! They're both new limited edition projects and were just released yesterday. Into the stash they'll go!

The Workroom

I am one of the lucky folks who have a room dedicated to my "stuff". That's sewing, embroidery, other crafts, and indoor gardening. I've made a number of little things over the years that make the room more fun to work in. I especially like the rabbit that covers my sewing machine when it's not in use.


I also made a pin box...



And some comfy pillows for my favorite embroidery seat!



Plus there are lots of shelves of good stuff to round it out!
