Puzzle Pieces
Making a quilt is like putting together a puzzle, there’s a lot of math involved. I received these quilt squares as a gift and now I’m piecing them together. 
After a few hiccups with my machines tension, I found the balance and machine sewed the pieces together. I worked until I ran out of thread. My plan is to hand quilt once the top is finished. Wish me luck!
Watercolour practice
It’s cold outside so I stayed in and practiced my painting. I used Sandra Gulland’s original (an author and artist) as inspiration. To see the original go here http://www.sandragulland.com/ or check out her on Twitter or Instagram. She inspired me to produce this version:
I’m always more impressed by my original sketch than the finished watercolour, but that’s the challenge. The hard part is mixing colours and picking brushes to get the right effect. I love the subject! Chickens are one of my favourite creatures. So simple in their ways, yet beautiful. We had a backyard coop a few years ago and I could sit and watch them go about their chicken business happily all day long. Especially in the spring/summer when I had offerings from our garden to impress them. Curious creatures.

The landscapes of early Newfoundland: Dr Julie Compton did a captivating lecture, with stories and folklore mixed with archaeology finds and research. Wonderful job!!! So glad I brought my Newfie friend along:)

Life’s Grip
Life’s Grip
The nagging scent of rotting flesh
Stays with me.
I can’t wash it away with the days
Trials and stressors.
It Spills over into my restful moments,
Creeps into my everyday thoughts,
Disturbs my peaceful dreams,
It echoes into my memories,
Like a chemical spill in my brain,
Washing it with dread,
It soaks in the stench of death.
Only the kind release of life’s grip,
will take it away.

Thankful
So I was so out of sorts today, I felt no purpose since I took the day off and my other plans were postponed. I should be thankful that I had friends to hang with and there’s great things happening in my area.
The wonderful Box of Delights bookstore had these gems to spur my imagination.
Perfect food…
It’s Deep Roots weekend in the valley!!🎶😎
