a friend sent the link to me

thought you'd like it too

what do you do with all those things you make

and don't give....this is one woman's

stash

quick hi...

 

this was a couple of days ago

the lake froze over and they sat and stood and stared

(there were more of them but I couldn't fit them all in!!)

wandering about in the freezing cold

one morning they all took off in different directions straight into all the bad weather

they came back and left again

then the temperatures went up

way up

and the lake melted and they weren't here to enjoy it

yesterday it went to 71F ( about 20C)

and then we had a storm roll through

the bad one that left so much destruction behind it

and it's back down to the cold again

the wind is blowing and the lake is choppy

and the birds

are gone



 

 

last trip to the store I brought home a bit of Spring

lots of colour

and the smell of cat pee

they need to change the water more often!!!

which I do do

can't stand stinky fleurs....

they have lasted a long time

 

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

yes I'm still at the tatting thing

trying the different size needles and thread

not that I have much thread

I won't bore you with it all

but it's interesting and different

and I like it

so

why not....

the reading is going slowly

I'm reading Alexander McCall Smith

in his various guises

and have started a new set of books

I don't know the characters so it feels strange to read them

if you know what I mean

and I hope you do or this sounds

weird

 

I love his books

and have them all

or nearly all

so I'll get used to these new stories and have them done in no time

then it will be time to get some more

 

:}

 

love new books

 

do you like to read

and if so

what???

 

 

well... :/

stay warm or cool or dry

stay safe

 

and

we'll meet again

..........................

don't know where don't know when

 

 

but I know we'll meet again some

 (hopefully)

sunny

daaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

 

 

 

:}

 

 

go see Tammy...

If you need a good cry

or a big smile

(coz cats don't do this)

(and I love cats too)

go and see

Tammy's post today

thanks Tammy I needed a good cry!!!

♥

and it's ch 9 -13 and 2-2-3 etc

(the background is not part of the tatitng.. it's the ball of thread used as a prop!!!)

I know you're all probably sick and bored with the tatting

but I'm not!!!

yet!

I found a pattern for a heart

and I'm getting on with it

so I thought I'd show you

it's easy enough to do and hard enough to satisfy

lots of reverse work and lots and lots and lots of

- - - - - - -

which stand for

PICOTS

lots and lots of

PICOTS

!!!!!!

it continues to be frigid and frozen and grey and cold

it snowed yesterday and it's going to again this afternoon

but the warm is coming back

 so 'nuff said

yesterday we had so many birds fly in

so much noise

so much calling and quacking and honking

but

not one shot or sound 

they move too fast and if you even think about going out there

they take off 

in a big whoooosh of wings and air

and as they must be so tired and weary from this cold

I leave them alone

I wish I could give each and every one of them a hot drink and a cookie

but I can't

 so the least I can do is

leave them be

as I'm going to let you 

be

take care and stay warm

♥-♥-♥-♥-♥

goosey it's cold outside

not going to mention the weather

we all have some sort of something

but the geese were lamenting the fact early this morning

poor things

the lake froze overnight

except for where they were

well some of them

think they were taking turns sitting on the ice or the water

we have had so many fly in

I am attempting to catch the fly in

which is hard to do as they fly in so fast

and I have to run for the camera!!!!

but mostly I want to capture the noise that erupts

as the new lot call to the ones already here

and they answer

and the splash down

I swear they say who they are and where they've been and how things are on the route

I love it

I always will

so while the geese are a'floatin'

I'm still

a'tattin'

(and reading)

just practicing and trying out what's what

the shuttle is just a "pretty" that sits in the box

the needle is to my liking and maybe I'll do a little demo

as so many don't know what tatting even is

 

I made the "Dorset button" yesterday

just playing with whatever came into my head

and now a days

there isn't too much of anything in there!!!!

 

stay warm

and don't walk on the ice if you have any
