Sunny Days!

We have been so fortunate to have such a mild winter and recently and some very Sunny Days.  My brother and I went for a ride Saturday and enjoyed the look of spring.  The frost heaves were another matter on the back road we traveled.  It was worth it though, beautiful views of Mt. Kearsarge located not too far from home.

I looked out my kitchen window the other day and saw a hawk grab a woodpecker!  So fast!!!
He held it to the ground and just stood on it.  That gave me time to find my camera and make sure I had an SD card in it.  I took many pictures and I so happy with them.  Here are a couple.  Sad for the woodpecker but it's nature.

I've been Eco-printing silk scarves with onion skins and red roses.  Love the look when I add the iron mordant.  Pictures soon. :)

Remember to Play a Little Each Day!

Winter's Almost Over

February 2016

I have very many interests and hobbies.  Photography is one of them.  My significant other, Ronnie also enjoys photography and he has for many years.  His town's Conservation organization held a photo contest and asked for submission of photographs taken in Alexandria, NH to be judged and put on a calendar as a fund raiser.  He entered the allowed number of photos, four.  One of his was chosen for the calendar out of over almost 70 entries.  His photograph was taken of a young bear who visited his home one afternoon.  The bear has the longest legs I've ever seen on a bear and everyone loves the photo!  It is the photo for the month of April, the month of my birthday.  I'm so pleased!  

I continue to be busy with dyeing scarves both with the transfer dye method and eco-dyeing.  I'm also working on completing some machine quilted wall hangings that I hope to sell at the Farmer's Market in the summer.  We were pleased to be invited to a wonderful craft fair to be held in Newport, NH in August!  It has a good reputation that includes excellent crafters/artists and a large attendance record. 

It's snowing out as I write this but I know it will be gone soon.  I love that the days are getting longer, more daylight to get things done.  I don't know about you but when that sun goes down I don't always have much ambition.
