Boy oh boy, what a windy snowy week it's been.
Lots of time indoors to start a new scratched scroll.
Year of the water snake
The wind howled through the trees and around the house.
The old dead tree that the heron used sit atop has broken in two.
We trudged up the mountain on virgin snow.
Boy is that hard work!
The pheasant comes for breakfast every day
It is so strange coming out of our small grocery store
and seeing the biggest eagle
perched on the skinniest branches atop a tree.
Snow, snow and more snow!
Might use up all my white thread soon.
Oooooh Penny, how wonderful to see these new scratchings !!!!!
ReplyDeleteI was sure you would miss your scratchings terribly after this whole year (and so would we, out here ;-) !!) Glad you continue !
I've seen you have an extra page for 2012 (maybe
you had thát before, but I didn't notice ...) I'll visit that !
That reminds me I need to add the end of the year photos to that page.
DeleteI love your wonderful water snake, Penny! Stay warm and stitching. Xxoo, sus
ReplyDeleteOh, Sus, up there in Alaska you must be buried beneath the snow!
DeleteDid you hike the hill sans snow shoes? I don't go into the forest in winter without mine!! Hapy New year and new scratchings! Is the eagle a regular on that tree outside your grocery store?
ReplyDeleteNo snow shoes! I was so surprised that no one had been before me and prepared a path!
DeleteHappily we seem to be seeing more and more eagles.
I just love these scratchings - I look at them and think, gosh, she really knows how to use those stitches!
ReplyDeleteTrudging through snow sounds like very hard work; up a mountain too. Crikey!!
Very hard!
DeleteGood to know the scratchings continue - and wasn't it a great week for them!
ReplyDeleteYes, carrying on....but can you see that I am tired of frayed edges and therefore creating more work for myself!
Deleteso lovely to be back to your daily scratchings.... I love seeing more snow, snow, snow... and that background if beautiful.

Seeing it (snow that is) is okay...Living with it not so much fun!
DeleteI happened across your blog today & am so happy that I did. You have opened a new world of fiber arts to me with your beautiful stitch work.
ReplyDeleteI can't seem to find any contact information. I'd love to connect with you about a project that I doing over at http://www.TheFiberNest.com. You can find my contact information on the "About" page. I look forward to hearing from you! ~ Carrie
