listening to all my favourite songs collected on you tube... and going down memory lane
which, at this stage in life,
is a long one

slight hiccup...







the object of yesterdays dirge is still waiting in the wings
trying its very best to dry off after being left in the 
starch bath overnight
accidentally and forgetfully 

:[


so the yo-yo's said they'd go first
seeing as they are finally finished and on the table
I used up all the fabric 
so that's as big as they are going to get!!!!
it's a shot of colour in the grey light 
but I'm not going to complain about the grey 
as it is the time of  the grey
the first full day of Spring does not bring with it all that we think it should
I'm a bit sick of all the griping about how Winter refuses to leave and how it's sticking around
blah blah blah!!!
it's still MARCH!!!
anyway
I'll have to wait until that thing up there is dry so I can finish it
it already looks sort of like it will
just one of those things that had to be done
for no reason
and if you've been here a while
you'll know there is a lot of that

have a good one!!!

flooding and sewing...

...it started raining last night
I heard it on and off all night long
but at 5.30 a m it came down in buckets
so I got up
the sky is white with cloud cover
it's still warm
in the 60's all night long
but the cold is coming and it's right behind all this

it never did get very light



but it's kept raining
and the ducks even had enough



and the goose
they're going to try and find a drier spot

   
but that won't be under the dock for a while
see how high the water is
for those of you who have had to see this view forever
you'll see the difference!!!!
and see it's up over the wall too
but it's no biggy as the youngest used to say
no biggy
we are way up the hill from there

so I put the
 hooks hooked and needles long
away for a bit
and got out the thread and the tapestry needles

and I sewed

embroidered


knots


stitches long and short


and I had a good time
coz you get lost in it and don't even notice the water rising!!!

 and when I uploaded the camera
I found this
 from yesterday I guess

:) :) :) :) :) :)

I had forgotten!!!!!




guess lambkin's wanted to sing too



fa la la la la
la la la
LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
