Hmmm, why are reds so hard to photograph? This is a new felted brooch I've been working on, but how am I going to list it if I can't get the colour right? It is actually a maroon colour, not the bright red that it is showing. Back to the drawing board I guess!
We went to an Antique Sale in our Provincial Capital, Fredericton, this weekend and I was so delighted with my outfit I just had to blog (or should I say brag) about it. The weather was a little chilly but I was determined to wear a skirt.
So I put on a skirt, black tights, my knee high boots, and a cute little jacket. To finish off the ensemble... my favorite Brunswick Bootwarmers! I've always loved this pattern and was glad to finally find an outfit to wear them with.
Not only am I'm running out of energy lately, I'm running out of things to blog about! I have lots of crochet projects on the go, but consider them "top secret" until I make more headway, so maybe I will make Friday's a day to show you some of my favorite things. This is a little mouse that my Mom painted on a very large conk this winter and after some hinting, she gave to me! Am I not the luckiest girl in the world to have such a talented and generous mother?
Finally, a beautiful weekend! We spent the days cleaning up the yard and garden and just enjoying the sun. I feel like I'm forgetting something though... Oh right! My Bloggy Giveaway! Thanks to all of you for the email, entries, comments and blogging about my Romance Neckwarmer! I've drawn a name and contacted the winner and will officially announce the lucky someone within the next few days. If this lucky someone doesn't get back to me within 3 days, I'll draw another name. Thanks again to everybody!
The table is set in beautiful blues and whites, the company is wonderful, the food delicious.
My Mom has such exquisite taste.
Below our house has been flooding more and more each day, and with it more and more ducks are arriving. So far just Mallards, Blacks and a few Teals, but today there are very few foraging for food. Where did they go? Some place warmer? Can I come?
Not five feet away from this delightful little patch is a snowbank that is still 6 feet tall, but I try to ignore it like a big white elephant in the room! I'm determined that Spring has finally arrived to this part of "the great white north"!
Can you tell that Loopie is an indoor cat? He decided to come out with me for a bit of sun and fresh air but he looks absolutely terrified! I was afraid his eyes would pop out of his head!
Frosty is obviously our outdoor cat... look at that look of satisfaction that Spring has arrived! I'm afraid my face is a cross between the two... pleased to see the fresh signs of Spring, but terrified that it will be taken from me! Happy Easter everyone!
All around me the snow is melting fast and there are definite signs of spring, but here... snow. This is the view from the back of my place. See the fields beyond? Hardly any snow. See all the snow in the front? My house.
And Phlox! Imagine! Little shoots of green and yellow everywhere the snow isn't! Which isn't much, but it's something! It gives me hope.
He quickly ran away but luckily the one and only picture I snapped of him turned out beautifully! Isn't he just the most handsome cat?
A few days ago I also captured the above picture of Frosty and an unsuspecting squirrel. Or maybe he was just a confident little squirrel since Frosty didn't catch him! Whenever I see this picture I automatically see the title "The Stand Off".
