LeeAnna has asked


do you do spring cleaning ? All over or just clear out the yard of
debris for example, just do a thorough dust collection, or purging of
clothing no longer wanted?

Yes, I often do spring cleaning.  Sometimes it happens in the winter or fall though.  I regularly purge the things I no longer want/need.  In the last 1.5 years, I have sold a lot of things on Facebook Marketplace.  It feels good to get a bit of money and move things to a home where they will be used!

We usually try to do a big cleaning of the yard in the fall.  It is easier to get up the leaves before they get snowed under.  Of course, there is always a tiny bit to do in the spring.

My neighbour's magnolia tree is in bloom!  So beautiful!  Oh, how I love seeing things in flower again!

    We just hauled a bunch of electronic stuff off to a recycling drive - that felt good! And lots of clean-up goes on here in the fall, too. Is your photo a magnolia blossom? It's beautiful!

    Spring cleaning leaves you with a feeling of 'start afresh'. Also, the spring sunshine is much stronger than that of autumn and winter, so every speck of dust shows up.

   I am glad that  LeeAnna  asks these questions.  It is fun to think about the answers! did you get school clothes and shoes for the start of school? Did you look through the enormous Sears catalogue at all the possibilities and dream?  Remember going to the store with probably a mom, and trying on clothes? A shoe store for your "school shoes" Back-to-school shopping was not done in our home.  Mom bought clothes when she found a good bargain.  Mom sometimes would sew or knit for us.  We also got hand-me-downs.  We were always clean and appropriately dressed for the season.  I hated the ugly footwear she would buy for me.  I now have a very large collection of gorgeous shoes!  Lots of sparkles! My family got together this past weekend.  Cousins, aunts, and uncles all came together for a barbecue at my home.  There were 30 of us all told.  14 of which were under the age of 16.  It is lovely to get caught...

Slow Stitching Sunday

Image
 I think my little fish is finished.  I had thought about adding beads but there is enough sparkle on this little fish.  Some loose threads need to be clipped or trapped underneath when I stitch it into its home.  I had so much fun stitching this fish that I have started another one.  I am also thinking about doing a butterfly in the same way.   They will all find a home in the right project eventually.  In the meantime, I will enjoy the slow stitching!

Mandala Monday

Image
 Often, when I create a loose and free mandala, I don't like it.  They are fun to create and that should be enough.  I am happy to say that this loose mandala is one that I do like.  It is truly a mixed media piece.  I used transfer foil, paint, crayon and markers.  So fun!
