"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

Pops of Pink and Purple Around Me













Have you made it into April without getting caught in April showers?  So far we have, much to my amazement. The sunshine has been... stellar!  A  sure sign for me that the weather is warming is that I have been enjoying drinking more iced tea. I drink it all year round, but more so when the weather is warm.  Do you?

While I have not gone into full force Spring cleaning you would have been impressed with the cloud of dust I raised the other day; and my big relief was cleaning up some paperwork this week by getting my taxes submitted.

Thursday morning I started attending a women's Bible study by Beth Moore, "Here and Now, Then and There," which is interesting.

Walking around our yard, I am surprised to see so many pink flowers.  I am especially enjoying my first Hellebore [second photo].

The doll dress I started crocheting before Christmas was completed this week...not quite as I had dreamed it would be, but hopefully my three-year-old granddaughter, Joy, will have fun dressing her dolly in it. I have started crocheting a strawberry with Lion brand Kitchen Cotton and a size E crochet hook. I dropped some stitches in the preemie blanket I am knitting and hope to pick them up tomorrow.

What pops of color have you noticed around you?

Hoping you have a happy week,
