Hello! Not much is happening here in Lizzy-Land. At three and a half weeks since Covid got me, I am doing well---just struggling a bit with post-Covid ennui. Today though I must make make pj-s for my friend's dolly! [done!]
And I'm working on a commission of pillow cases and sofa cushions for other friends.
We had dense fog, now blown away by very high winds, 50 mph. Mo and I will stay in.
Friends have been sending me pics of the outside word! From Mel in Kansas, a lovely
end of winter sunset.
Another friend's walk on his [very eroded] beach. These are not black and white photos, just the relentless grey of March at the beach. Dismal
Yes, the sand will return. Possibly assisted by the giant trucks that busily work each day doing who knows what.
One still grey evening the sun peeped out and --magic! Better than the much admired ''golden hour" of July and August, a pink sunset.

The grocery guy brought daffies yesterday.
So pretty. And Big Red's final bloom fades away. Last of the amaryllis this year.
Pansies! No pansies this year---since I missed the annual Garden Show. A bit sadly I pulled out this lovely fabric and some of my pansy and violets plates.
I am unsure on first thought how to use the pansy fabric. It's beautiful but the muted colors don't work as sofa pillows and lack contrast to be used in a quilt.[what would you do with it?]
The plates may go on the pine plate rack just for April, we'll see.
Mo and I had fun celebrating his birthday!
I made him a tiny cake.
Spring--three more months til summer! Have a good week!
love

What pretty plates. I have a lovely china teaset decorated with violets, we bought it on holiday in Devon in the 1970's. I have the teaset on display with others in a glass cabinet. My late husband was very fond of pansies as am I. We had a glorious display of yellow through shades to orange one year.
ReplyDeleteThose pink sunsets are gorgeous.
Hugs to Mo for his birthday.
Jean. In England.
Glorious pink sunset pictures!!:))) Our winds seem to have died down a bit here so far this morning. A big relief here with DH's surgery over and having gone so well...
ReplyDeleteI will be quilting Dark Days 3rd block as my hand project for the next few days...nice stitching as it is only two layers and easy to "needle".
I just love your pansy dishes--and those fabrics are beautiful-they would make a nice blouse for summer--??maybe. Or featured in a low volume piece...
Mo looks quite the "Dapper Dan" in his birthday chapeau;))) so cute. Hugs, Julierose
What pretty plates. Up on the rack with them! Lovely pink sunsets. No sewing happening here. Just NOT in the mood. Gardening instead.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the beautiful post. Things are still very quiet here. I think I may be in hibernation! So glad you're feeling better. Mo looks adorable. Please kiss his nose for me.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday to Mo 🎉! Love the pansy dishes, reminded me of a set of violets on small dessert plates (I think) that my mom had, probably with my sister now. I love those two fabrics, especially the grayish background one, truly special. The green would make up into an elegant table runner, don't you think? Your little friend is truly blessed to have an auntie who makes such beautifully detailed dolly clothes! So happy that you are finally feeling better, now for some warmer spring weather so you can get some sunshine.
