The past couple of weeks have been full of late nights in front of the computer, finishing up a new collection of designs to submit to In The Beginning Fabrics. It’s very satisfying work but still, I was desperate to create some actual things instead of just computer-file things.  So I allowed myself to start a new little quilt

and I sketched out some embroidery ideas

and tomorrow I will attempt to knit a praying mantis for my dear niece’s birthday.

I will let you know how that goes, I may be biting off a bit more than I can chew with that one.

Oh and it snowed today.  Only our second snow since we moved to this house.  So pretty, like glitter falling from the sky.
