Views from our bedroom windows this morning.
The black thing is my compost bin. Snow softly falling all morning.This week has been productive with the reading, Stitching, moving the body and feeding it too. I hope the same can be said for the upcoming week. And here is Murphy's contribution to the wood getting. She always chooses one stick (or several) to have a good chew each morning.
Do you know what a boxing band is on a pillow? I'd never heard of it till Rachel at Stitched in Color shared how she made her pretty Penny Bird Pillow-pattern is available as a digital download. Aren't those fabrics pretty colours.
There is Of Course, a video on YouTube about the box banding.
I've started cross stitching Quilting Bee from The Blue Flower and like the colours Jeannine chose very much, mustard yellow and lagoon blues. This week I hope to make inroads to the bee itself.
I got out my Scrappy Hearts runner I sewed last winter. Enjoyed working on these hearts very much and this one was my favourite.
Meg Hawkey at Crabapple Hill Designs is running a stitchalong that she calls Beautiful World Stitchalong. It features free snippets of her lovely designs to embroider. I'm planning on downloading these to use as one project panel.
Both daughters are readers and this has finally happened. They are recommending books to me these days. I started reading this book, Pulitzer Prize winner, The Overstory, lent to me by younger daughter and I am quite taken with it. The writing is wonderful and how trees figure into each story is ingenious. Overstory itself refers to the layer of foliage in a forest canopy. Inspiring to me and my awareness of trees has certainly been heightened by having the pleasure of living on the last two properties here in Ontario.
As I mentioned this week was a good one and my mood did not drift into over reflection as my mind is wont to do. I'm deliberately not reading as much news which has been a help too. Hope you are enjoying your Sunday wherever in this beautiful world you are.
Happy also to join these link up parties...Kathy's Quilts and Quilting is More Fun Than Housework.
