good bye to May

 and here we are, the last day of May.....   

Here's what I've been up to,  a simple coverup made from hand spun roving.   

The patio is taking shape, even in this corner things are growing just fine.  Photos of the rest of the patio saved for another day.

                                

At the slider door,  a diy covering to keep bugs out (mostly) and allow Sully to go in and out at his pleasure.  I used what I had on hand, the brown sheer hung of a length of bamboo pole and the whole thing slipped in the existing drapery hardware.   It works!

till next time...

with a little sunshine

 ....everything looks so much nicer!   And a picture is worth a 1000 words....

Patio 2021 is coming together.  It is amazing just how much can be tucked in the space I have.   I call it shuggle (shuffle and snuggle)  And so far it's turning out ok.  Now, if mother nature provides us more sunshine and warmth then we'll be set.

           

 

                                     

till next time.

ready to travel?

It's once again time to travel around France, starting on May 18th.  The theme is painters and colors. 

it is all about the simple pleasures

 Simple pleasures.....

The theme was spring food and I selected rhubarb.  Working with the roving I had managed to more or less come up with something that looks like rhubarb.....maybe...

Hand spinning underway.

Turtles plyed, a mere 42 grams so my options for a final project will be limited.

A closer look at one of the skeins.

and voila, a scarf created!

Over the hedge, recent blooms on the crabapple trees.  

It's always a pleasure to hear and see the eagles overhead.  As for getting a really good photo, lol.

What is it about rainbows that are so magical?
