Slow Week

Every once in a while, I have a time where I don't have much time or energy to create.  These past few days have been like that.  It was time to do yard work.  I like to landscape, my way, even though now I have to clean up after myself.  Hope that can change soon.  So I mowed, cut, dug, transplanted and raked.
Enough done for a while.  It is usually in July when we hit a dry spell and no longer need to mow the lawn.  It turns a nice golden brown and everyone just waits for fall to have it turn green again.  When we first moved here, as in Minnesota, you must keep your lawn green and mowed!!  Not so we learned from long time neighbors.  We wait til the rains come again.   I love it and every lawn looks the same.



This was designed by my new teenager grandson, the best kid west of the Mississippi!!  He did several designs and I chose this one.  Which one is Me???  I learned much from him when we were there visiting.
Thank you,Alex.



 This entire hanging was made from roving, dyeing it red, orange, and yellow.   It was a fun challenge and the first time I made the felted cloth from scratch.  I added a few beads for bling and the Puget Sound driftwood  finished it off.


Although it was a very sad case to hear of a Minneapolis friend, seriously ill with cancer, I caught up with other friends and neighbors, one in California and one in North Carolina. We talked across the country and caught up with each other's lives. We promised to stay in touch!!

So as Easter is almost here, Have a blessed holiday, take good care of yourselves, and please sign in as a fan and/follower. I only have ONE. EEK!!
Live, Laugh and Love,
Sophie
