A Nice Sky

It was a lovely sky tonight. Just before I was able to get out with a camera, it was almost perfectly striped with pink on blue. A very nice blanket pattern I thought.

Of course, if I were to make a blanket it would more likely come out like this! I couldn't resist playing a bit with saturation levels and etc. 'Fun with Sky Art'

With any luck the dramatic skies are signally the end of the "ugh" weather and we can get on with this Spring the calendar has been promising. The garden is ... slowly starting ... and will have benefited from all the rain.

On the crafting front I have been tinkering with a few things - a crocheted tote, some new necklaces, cards and gift tags, and more ornaments with beads. Updates soon.

It grows!!! ... and it grows ....

Oh how I loved today! DEEEEElightful little spring tease it was, with most of the snow disappearing to reveal the hints of spring below.


Yes, I have lived in Canada for several decades and therefore yes I do know that it won't last long at all, but it sure does give you that burst of energy that feels vital to make it through the cold, grey days of winter. Windows open!

So, in the spirit of growth, I took a little down time this evening to carry on with the first of my stash-busting afghans for this year. As it's clearing out wool, I figure this can go in the "tidying up" category - but then I can justify almost anything.

Pinky/purley/reds, etc blanket coming along ... At this point, I'm thinking it would be most fun to have as many colours as possible, but we'll see what develops.

And we'll see what develops weather wise as well. As I update this, who knows what the nearly 100km/hour winds are bringing in for the weekend. I'm thinking probably not good stuff, but am thankful for today. I can make it .... COME ON SPRING!
