"I started photographing my domestic world and writing not just about what I had made,
but why I made it, examining the thoughts that accompany creativity and the act of making."
Jane Brocket from The Gentle Art of Domesticity p. 189 UK edition

WIP Springing Forth







Although Mt. Hood is getting more snow on the first day of Spring, here below we are getting rain interrupted by SUNSHINE!!!

Before I headed out to mail my great-niece's cowl hood to her, I looked up to find little Miss Molly modeling it and she agreed to let me show you her doing so :-)

While the cowl hood is my latest finish, more works in progress are springing forth thanks to Helen and Alicia who have lured me to want to make bunnies...among other projects.

Yesterday, on the last day of winter I made Winter-Spring Soup which I had for lunch yesterday and will finish today for lunch.

Winter-Spring Soup

Saute two links of sausage
two stalks of celery
one sliced carrot
one handful chopped kale
two green onions
two medium potatoes chopped with skin

add two cups of filtered water
a dash of cayenne pepper and
salt to taste

Simmer in the crockpot until the fragrance entices you to try the soup :-)

Shelby Dog has been her happy self yet not so healthy in the winter of her life...a change that is reason for sadness for us while appreciating her more in this season.

Kathy, the flower photos are especially for you...Spring is coming...even to Chicago :-)

What season of life are you in?
