Being home a lot more has had its benefits. My projects-in-progress pile is shrinking which is exhilarating!
Today, I am finishing up a little play quilt for my little grand-niece. I decided to hand embroider all of the plain triangles on the little quilt with random flowers, swirls, stars, and geometric shapes.
I love doing slow things like canning tomatoes and peach jam and pickles and making sauerkraut and knitting sweaters and embroidering this little quilt.
This extra time at home at home gives me the opportunity to see the beauty in all the things that surround me.
Father goose with little goslings 
A regal pheasant 
Fat little cottontail 
Plump little bluebird 
Fragrant apple trees in bloom 
A warbler singing to me 
A swallow keeping watch over his eggs 
Cooper’s hawk waiting for an opportunity
