Busy Work

I was so taken with the banners I made with the kids, that I decided to make some for myself.  I hung these in one of the bathrooms over a mirror.  Why? I just like the color.


And I made this for over the kitchen sink.

And with the leftover material, a pillow cover:
                                                


I will send out a few Easter cards.


I attended a vernal equinox celebration, Ostara.  There were adults and children there dancing and singing and story telling, but I don't have permission to post personal pictures so you get to see the bonfire.

                               

And, of course, I continue to walk along the beach.

    I like the bird print on the material on the pillow. The Ostara celebration sounds cool. The beach looks lovely.

    Gosh, I wish we were close enough to a beach to walk...
    But I laughed when I saw that you'd done a pillowcase as my friend had picked up some really pretty fabric at a quilting seminar she went to and gave it to me. Since I'm new to quilting and have never done much sewing, I didn't know what I'd do with it.. but it was too pretty to ignore. Anyway, when I got up this morning I decided it would make a pretty pillow slip.... so that's what I did. I will post a picture on my blog later.

    Goodness your machine has been humming. I like the banner with the alternating shapes the best and the pillow case is adorable.
    That celebration sounds interesting. I have never been to one.

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while Levi
