wet weekend...
there's a steady rain falling outside. yesterday a southeaster swept through, and the driveway is layered with maple leaves and pine needles. it's a bit calmer now, but the wind is supposed to build again this evening. definitely a wet long weekend which will mostly be spent inside. i did get out briefly to the farmers market during a break in the rain this morning, adding to the stockpile of squash lining my windowsill (i can't help it, i always want more this time of year!), amongst a few other things. i plan to do a bit of baking this afternoon (bread and cookies), partially in preparation for the small thanksgiving potluck we are having tomorrow. i'm in the perfect mood to be cozy inside, sipping a warm mug of tea as i putter about.
at the moment, i am doing a bit of stitching on a few creatures while catching up on some tv on my laptop. my little chickadee is almost done, mainly needed some legs (poor little guy!) and a re-do of his beak, which turned out a bit crooked. the wolf too is just receiving some finishing touches. so far he has been embellished with few bits of sheep fleece here and there - does that make him a wolf in sheep's clothing?
I wish I could send you some of the sunshine we have for this weekend. Enjoy your thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI love that little chickadee. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThe chickadee is beautiful! You are so talented.
ReplyDeleteI always look at wet weather as an opportunity to knit/craft... Of course, there's always cleaning to be done, too, but it's not nearly as FUN! :)
I cannot WAIT to see this wolf. I am so curious how others construct animals. Once it is done I would love to hear about the process. X Maribeth
