    T stands for Tuesday rolls around all too quickly each week! I feel like I’m playing catch up all the time. moody tea

    I thought I’d give you a little update on life around here.

    Not much has changed with the seeds I’ve started other than the view outside is a little white. We got about 4″ of snow which is actually good since we were under a red flag fire warning. 20150323_7478

    If you look really closely you can see a few little bits of green popping through the soil.

    I also wanted to share about Little J’s surgery. It went really well. She is up and around almost as if nothing had ever happened. She is even going to school today a mere 3 days after knee surgery. Crazy!! Miracles of modern medicine and the resiliency of youth!!

    What are you doing today?

    Nesting scraps

    March 19, 2015 - By 

    I broke out the old plastic canvas a few months ago and created a little bin to hold my thread scraps while sewing. for the birds

    This helped keep my table tidy. My knitting and weaving scraps also made there way into the bin.

    Today I was really noticing an increase in bird activity through the window. I decided it would be a good time to gift my feathered friends with some nesting material.for the birds 2

    Several years ago I did something similar for the birds.  I found some little bits of yarn in the front yard after a while so I know something was attempting to use the scraps.

    Now I need to make a new bin for my scraps. Perhaps this one will be more visually appealing on my work surface.
