I've been the worst blogger lately! I don't post, nor check in with others. I guess it's just spring fever and other bits of this and that keeping me away. I have a hard time concentrating on the computer right now. I do drop by many blogs, but just a quick glance to see what's up and then I'm gone. Maybe blogging is more of a winter thing for me, or maybe I've just lost interest. I don't really know, but I'm here posting today (rainy and cold outside) hoping to get back in the bloggy rhythm I used to have. So what's new?
Well...... I just finished my Master Gardener's classes and got my badge and certificate at a lovely spring banquet the other night.
There's still much volunteer work to do to make this completely official, but I'm really very proud to join this great group of creative and energetic gardeners. We have the most fantastic botanical center here that I'll post about later. GORGEOUS building in the midst of a fabulous park. So happy to make this a part of my life. The timing is perfect!
One of the perks of becoming a Master Gardener is the advanced training offered. I took a bonsai class the other night. This is my little juniper that I trimmed into a bonsai shape and potted.
Such fun!!!
Spring is everywhere, as is the migration of gorgeous birdies that drop by our feeders. Here's a lovely photo taken by my husband.
A pair of rose-breasted grosbeaks that have been visiting for the last few days. I don't know how long they'll stay, but we're so enjoying them. Don't they look lovely in the redbud tree?
I haven't been doing much rug hooking, but had a little group over for a special occasion, and hooked these little hanging birds. They are from a paper pattern I got several years ago from a workshop with Karen Kahle of Primitive Spirit.
I thought they made a darling center piece, and guests each got to take one home!
I'm completely smitten with my triloom, and can't stop making shawls! I love to weave in the studio while listening to books on CD. Dreamy..........
I'm working on this one to go with my new peachy Liesl tunic.
Have a lovely and creative spring!
