think pink

When I learned that Project Spectrum’s August color was pink, I didn’t think I’d find much in my photo folders to work with. I don’t know why I thought that! Every color can be found in nature. All one needs to do is look! Happy Friday!  Let’s have a great weekend!  

the cuteness

Saturday our fiber guild had our meeting at Alpacaramas Farm in Brierfield, Alabama and it was a great field trip!  I took a ton of pictures, but I’ve edited down to just a few. A field of alpacas.  It was funny, we’d approach them (with food) and they’d run away.  They were very skittish! The [...]

things I love

deadheading the cilantro and making impromptu aromatic bouquets farmer’s market strawberries and invisible stockinette seams!

earth day walk

It can be hard to do all the things we know we’re supposed to be doing.  Eat right, exercise, don’t watch too much tv, keep a tidy home.  Unfortunately, letting these things slide can lead to more work in the long run as you try to catch up on chores and get your life and [...]

it’s that time of year

I love spring!  Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful day, with highs in the low 70s and a fabulous breeze.  We opened all the windows in the house and worked outside most of the weekend. Our tomato plants have the first blooms!  We’ve tried growing tomatoes in the ground and in pots with limited success.  This [...]

memory jog

I was just reading a new-to-me blog, Rurality (anyone who blogs Cat Parables is immediately added to my bloglines!), and her post today about a boat in the woods stirred a memory that I thought I’d share. When my son was little, maybe three, we arrived coming home from a long day at work and [...]

four years in the making

We’ve been in our house almost four years and for four years, I’ve had foliage, but no gladiolas. This year, we got a surprise.  I did not plant this, and I think I appreciate its beauty even more because I did absolutely nothing to create it. It was a gift that I wasn’t expecting, and I [...]

fiber guild picnic

This Saturday was our fiber guild’s annual picnic out at Pia and George’s farm.  This year we had double the number of attendees as last year! There were people we hadn’t seen since last year, but the conversations picked right back up. There were people working on projects, of course. bobbin lace butterfly Boutis in [...]

happy earth day!

Thank you, Earth, for making it so hard to choose my favorite photos! I hope to have something fibery soon.  My brain has been in a cloud – yesterday I cast on for socks and accidentally cast on 84 stitches instead of 64 stitches.  I kept thinking ‘these look awfully big’ but I also kept [...]
