“It was one of those March days when the sun shines
hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the
light, and winter in the shade.”
~ Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
Today begins spring break in my home
and I am thrilled. I know I am home
most days, but there is something about
knowing we are on spring break that is
freeing.
I have been taking a little bit of time each
day to play with my 'big' camera, shooting
photos in manual mode and just enjoying
the fresh air and all the flowers that are
blooming around my yard.
I hand sewed a little felt case for my
crane scissors and found if I put two
wee marks on my thumb nail my stitches
were a lot more consistent.
I cast on another knitting project, a secret
one that shouldn't take too long to complete.
There was a little playing in the kitchen trying
out a simple roll recipe [ link here ] and the
vote in my home positive! I like that the recipe
only made 12 so I didn't have a huge pan of
rolls sitting around for days.
I have been making sure to check in each
day to see the babies on the DC Eagle Cam
that Donna shared, they are quite addicting
and so cute!
May your Easter is filled with peace and
love.
Much love,
Tracey

A quiet weekend were I
have been able to putter
leisurely from one project
to another.
There has been quite a lot
of knitting on my Annabel Cardigan,
and some casting on to
try my hand at felting
Tiny Bowls.
I drilled and polished a few
more buttons, this time
tiny ones that I think will
look nice on a delicate
sweater or baby item.
I set the sewing machine
up and managed to sew
a stack of cloth napkins
with mitered corners,
although it took me
longer than it should have
to accomplish this task.
I would love to sit down
in front of the sewing machine
and not break out into a sweat,
but I am not there. I really
think I need to accept the
fact that I will not be wearing
clothes I have sewn myself.
I have ridden my new purple
Schwinn bike that my family
gave me for my birthday and
discovered a new set of muscles
that evidently I have been
neglecting to work out, I am so
sore! ;0
Tonight there will be homemade
feta and spinach pizza on
sour dough crust and a new
game to play with the family.
I hope you are doing something
fun this weekend.
Joining with the lovely Amanda.
