Odds & Ends

I haven't been sewing as much in the last week or two. I have done some art, like this collection of heart-shaped balloons. 

I painted the background on this rock that I painted a heart on more than a year ago. 

I took a walk by the pond and saw these turtles stacked up in the sunshine.

And I bought a box of So Fine thread from Superior threads to replace colors I had used up. What have you been up to?

Spring has Arrived

I haven't been up to much this past week.

I did win the block lottery during the last guild meeting. I shared my blocks last month. Now I just need to decide what to do with them all. Check out the free tutorial by Samelia's Mum to make your own applique tulips.

I think spring has finally arrived in Virginia. The daffodils are in full bloom.

The deer are out and about.

The squirrels are still chasing each other about. 

Even the trees are in bloom. I took these photos on my afternoon walks this week. I can't resist a pretty flower.

Nature Post

Back to work this week meant I was super busy all week and didn't get much chance to do crafty things. You'll have to be satisfied with some photos collected over the week.

There was my friend the buck. He rarely moves off when I walk by.

This pretty flower. I have no idea where I came across it.

This one, along my side yard on a tree that should be removed before it takes down part of my fence.

 Another encounter with that buck. I'm not kidding, he barely looks up when I'm less than a dozen feet away.

The heavy rains this week made for a great crop of fungi.

This one was my favorite and only took about a dozen tries to get a good photo. I love my Samsung phone. The camera makes it look like I know how to take a picture.

Sorry about the brief post. I do hope at least one of the images is to your liking. I'll try to do something interesting this weekend to share with you next week.
