Rainy Eye Candy Friday...

-
...we gotten a lot of rain in the last few weeks. So much that we are no longer in a drought, or close to not being in a drought, depending on who you listen to. What this means is that it's difficult to find a window when you can take photos.

This morning, we had a break in the storms right before I left for work. I quickly took some photos before it started again. Forgive some of the lighting...it was the best I could do!

We have a lone daffodil blooming in the yard:

The plum blossoms are going crazy again:

and we have a variety of pansies/violas growing containers outside my kitchen window. This red one is interesting:

Up this weekend: There is a Spin-In planned for tomorrow, but I'm not sure whether I'll have time for it. My sister and brother are coming the last Tuesday of the month and I need to put some serious work into getting the loft cleaned up so there's room for the air bed. Given that I'll be occupied with Stitches West from Thursday through Sunday next week, that doesn't leave me a whole lot of daylight time to get things organized. I'll have to play it by ear.

I want to continue to make progress on my MIL's quilt and I have a little Stitches West homework to do.

It may be a 3-day weekend, but I know it will be over before I know it!

Blogiversary Contest...

...Happy Blogiversary to me!! It's been 3 years since I started this blog. In that time I've gone from being mostly a cross-stitcher and quilter to being a knitter and spinner. I still cross stitch and quilt, but I spend far more of my craft time knitting and spinning. In honor of the blog turning 3, I'm having a contest! Leave a comment in this post to be entered in a drawing for a skein of Sundara Petals Collection sock yarn (or a skein of my handspun, if you prefer). The winner will be chosen at random from all entrants. Deadline: 1/12/09 at Midnight (Pacific time) Good luck! (Jaywalker socks in progress)

Yeah, who knew I'd still be doing this five years later? There have been a few changes since my first post . I'm no longer just a stitcher and quilter. I've added knitter, spinner, and weaver to the list. I also dabble in macro photography I changed the name of the blog to be more "me." I changed the layout. I have more than one reader. (Don't burst my bubble, please. LOL!) I've settled into a MWF schedule of posting, except when life and work get in the way. I still find the blog a useful journal of the projects I have in process and my mindset at the time I'm working on them. A little personal stuff gets thrown in from time to time. So, for now, blogging is still working for me. If you've been reading all along...thanks for joining me on this little journey! I plan on continuing as long as it is still useful for me. OK, on to the contest: Leave a comment on this post by Midnight PST, Wednesday 1/19/11. (No, multiple comments will ...

Eye Candy Friday...

...is it time to go home yet? We have hollyhocks growing in the garden: and Mega Monkey flowers: It rained a bit yesterday and this morning so everything is covered with a light layer of raindrops. These tomato flowers looked very cool with all the little drops: And the Lucky Lantern abutilon had a few drops: Our berry harvest is out of control: While I love the berry galettes that the Husband has been baking, I'm afraid my waistline can't handle too many more! Up this weekend: Some household chores and then crafting. I'll continue rotating through the crafts, keeping needlepoint and knitting as the TV crafts and working on the others during the day. I also want to choose the block size for my attic windows quilt so I can start cutting out the feature squares. I'd like to see some progress on this quilt soon! .
