i whipped up a shawl for ember to wear in the chilly evenings. it’s not blocked yet and i have to sew the ends in, but i’m happy with it none-the-less.

canada thistle
thistles are a lot like some people, beautiful if you can get past the prickles that protect them
glorious colors

glorious purple wildflowers attract more attention than just mine
color me purple
i changed ember’s eyes to different purple ones that i had in my “eye box”. they are lighter, but with a dark ring and one size smaller. i didn’t think they would work, but they fit really well. i love her new look and she is now much easier to photograph, (even though the lighting right now is horrible for taking pics.)
she is wearing a new thread lace shawl i made for her, not finished or blocked, but it really brought out the color in her eyes.
now if i could just figure out where i got the eyes from! (anyone know/recognize them?)
quinn comes home
here is quinn as he looked before a visit to the “spa”
and from the side…
i know normally boys don’t do “spa visits” but all my kids have to go at least once 😆
and now my shy boy is home to stay (or maybe i should say “up”, since the spa is in the basement 😉 )
he is a real flames fan and claims he wrestled the shirt from a bear, but i have my doubts…
growing thru the fence
are the fences to keep us out… or the flowers in?
willow catkin
i am constantly fascinated by the colors and textures to be found when i look close enough.
