Hello, friends!

This morning I was reading in a few of your blogs and thought it was time for me to give a little update. ALL MY PHOTOS loaded in reverse order! So we'll have to start with the most recent things, and proceed to the oldest.

My sewing machine broke a little part. Adam is ordering a new one. It's the little curly metal piece that you put the thread through just before the needle. Don't know what it's called.

The farmers market started up again this past Saturday. That tent is my spot. Lovely friends at the market -- both vendors and customers!

I'm not much of a cook these days. But I did make some yummy tacos last week!

And a quiche! I love quiche.

Before my machine broke, I sewed a tiny fabric bowl.

Adam had another infusion at Duke for his auto-immune illness. He'll be feeling better soon.

I sewed some little quilted pouches that roll up and tie.

And I've been doing a very little bit of spinning. I need to get back to that ....

This is a Tummy-Time Mat I finished this winter -- a stiff quilt for a baby to spend time on the floor. It's a "Wonky Star" pattern.

I've been painting a good bit.

This is my favorite one recently:

We had a significant winter weather event with very cold temps and lots of snow, unusual for us. It took a long time to melt! I'm noting which of my outdoor potted plants survived this weather, and I'll be buying more of them. The two best were Gaura and Creeping Wire Vine.

I hope you are all very well and enjoying the warmer spring days. Time to be outdoors in the sunshine and breezes, messing with pots and soil!
