The Ides of March..........

Well I guess the 15th of March came and went ,but was not the turning point of the year so far. I can not remember the last time that March has seemed longer than January, we continue to have every conceivable weather, minus temperatures and a permanent paddy field at the end of the orchard. At least day is now longer than night............

Quick shopping spree

New notions.

The positive side of this is the extra time spent indoors unpacking and sorting all my fabrics, finding old sewing patterns that have been waiting to be liberated and all those buttons and notions.

Crochet shelf !

Room to work.

Ready for an upcoming new project.

The long dark evenings have also given way to more baby knits and I have enjoyed a few novelty knits , just to spice up the interest.Not many more to make now and then the sewing machine can be freed from its travel box and I can begin in ernest on the new curtains,blinds, sofa covers, summer dresses and a new coat for next winter.

The new hen house  :-)

Meanwhile despite the lack of Spring weather the greenhouse has become an abundent source of germinating seeds and lots of native flowers in bloom in the hedgerows, all promising signs of change to come.
