No Stitching - No Punching...


I have been doing everything
EXCEPT
stitching and punching...

Sometimes, it is good to sit back and just go 
with the flow of the day(s).

No preconceived notion of what 
I NEED to do in a day...
just enjoying what presents itself.
(I need a lot more of these kinds of days !)

(So you ask, what ? have I been doing)


Bird Watching...

The Snow Geese have arrived at 
Middlecreek Wildlife conservancy....
thousands and thousands of them !

They are brilliant white....




until they fly and then hidden beneath their wings,
you see the most beautiful site.
Their wings are generously tipped in black.
GORGEOUS !



Perusing the Greenhouse...

THE most beautiful site after a L.O.N.G.
snowy, icy, bitter cold winter !





Filled with color and texture.
I so needed to see something green and colorful ;)



Enjoying the Arts...

an amazing Science and Art Festival
at my son's school.

This picture is a self portrait done by Ellen Albers.
This was my all time favorite piece of art.
The detail on this self portrait is so fine and amazing.
Ellen is a very talented young lady.
(My #3 daughter is standing beside Ellen's picture,
to show it's size.)

The picture was drawn on book pages 
that were pieced together.  Truly exceptional.




Colorful pictures from the students.




Beautiful weavings from another group of students.




Loving this work, done by Madelyn Gerard.




Yummy pieces of cake, done in ceramics by the students.




This hand was in perfect proportion and so realistic.
(I can not remember the name of the student
who did this clay project)





Lovely colors and textures.
Lititz Christian School has an amazing group 
of talented young students and (obviously) an
exceptionally good Art Teacher to 'coax out' 
and showcase that amazing talent.
(Thank you Mrs. Hilton)

It has been a relaxing week of 
Bird Watching
Greenhouse hopping
and Enjoying the Arts.




Spring has arrived and with it 
a breath of fresh air !

Ready for a change of season 
and some new creativity...
