After years of #crochet, I decided to learn continental knitting! There is still a ways to go, but I’m really enjoying the process (and my Lantern Moon needles are amazing)! 🧣🧶

Knitting, crocheting, and especially spinning make me feel like I am participating in ancient traditions.

The Elements of Design!
My lounge chair is nearly always covered with a blanket because my dog loves it as much as I do…
He knows that it’s off limits, but as soon as he thinks I’m out of the house, this is how I find him!

As I listen to the endless rain beating down, Sammy learns that we just booked his next international flight! So thrilled that we’ll soon be home, enjoying warm sun and palm trees!

This fine Roman fresco once decorated a palatial building on the south bank of the Thames in London. When the building was demolished in the fourth century, the plaster fell face down and lay undisturbed in a medieval garden until they were rediscovered in 1983 #FrescoFriday #FindsFriday

Any day with a blue sky in Brittany is a good day (and there are more of them than than you think).

Can’t believe that there is only a week until Christmas! Less than that if we count Christmas Eve…(and once again the Christmas cards are on my desk, still not being mailed!). 😫
Remembering to breathe and keep the holiday expectations in perspective.

I freely admit that in 57 years I have never asked myself what a “calling bird” is; I didn’t care, but now I do (and it ranks right up there with my “pain au chocolate” or “chocolatine” feelings)!

“FFS it’s 4 COLLY birds, not ‘calling’ birds! Colly bird means Blackbird. It’s a specific type of bird, like turtle dove, or partridge - you see?! What even is a ‘calling bird’? Nothing! NOTHING!”

I plan to post at least one of my photos a day here on Bluesky. I design each of my photos using recent research into the benefits to mental health of looking at plants & patterns in nature.
Making my collections relaxes my noisy autistic+ADHD brain & they'll relax yours by looking at them here:

Sammy looks happy that it’s another #TongueOutTuesday (then again, Sammy has Resting Happy Face, so he always looks this way). #GRC
