Hi Needlework Mondayers, I didn't get to posting anything last week. I was too busy ridding my house of bees! This week, I've got some very simple woven bracelets. I bought a bracelet making kit for my

Painting might not be such a good idea after all...
It was a temperate day, so I set up to do some outdoor maintenance. The plan was to wash down a window frame and paint it. I grab my (new!) phone, set up a podcast, slip the earplugs in, grab a broom and

Today's sketch
I spend a lot of time waiting around for my daughter to finish riding horses, so I sketched a bush (or succulent... thing). It's a bit of a mess. The scanner washed it out a bit.

Doing it like on the Discovery Channel: Spring titillation
I was walking the dog along a boardwalk section of a walking trail. There was much flapping in the grass right next to the path. Luckily, doggy was on the lead, because she loves chasing flappy things.
