Blue sky and an intense late winter light that casts dark blue shadows across the expanse of snow. That's what I see outside my window, and that's what we experienced all weekend. Spring is near, and the cardinal pair hopping in the branches of the crabapple tree outside my sewing room window can feel its quickening.
I spent most of the day Saturday indoors at a native plants symposium, and then most of the day Sunday cleaning out my office and filing literally years of paper. But I finally found the files I was looking for, and look what else I was able to dust off and put together: my collection of covered stones from Margie Oomen (Resurrection Fern) and a woolen acorn brooch from Lil Fish Studios that feels right at home.
The crochet-covered vintage saucer that glows like the sun and the wise little owl that Margie stitched are telling me to go out and enjoy the sun while I can, and so I'll try to share more of things I uncovered in my pre-spring cleaning later.
Have a great week!

Wonderful collection. Your sunshine plate is a nice nod to spring. I must find time to show what I've uncovered in the garden. Have a lovely day :)
I love these delicate colours !
Margie's saucers are among my favourite creations of hers.
And this owl ? Just perfect ! I never saw her and am so grateful of you for this photograph :)
Good luck with your pre-spring cleaning !

thanks so much for these pictures and words today Pat.
You always know how to be a great friend.
What a wonderful and impressive collection! How excited am I that my little brooch is nestled amongst those stones! Thanks Pat.
Amazing collection. I adore crochet
Oh so so beautiful and one delicious blog!

What a fantastic collection you own, Pat !!! One of the most complete and luxuriant ones ! Next year, it should be you who organize Margie's Show ! A giant show with Margie's, Lisa's and Pat's works ... what a great announcement ! Isn't it a genius idea ? :)
Much love to you, sweet Pat (and sorry to be so often "behind"). Have a nice Friday ... if not sunny, I send you a piece of my bright sun that's appearing today after a cold week !
can i help spring clean at your house - the only things i seem to uncover at my house are empty candy wrappers, stray dirty socks under beds, old cans of paint with colors that i thought i loved but now hate.
