Scratching Into May


The week started off with snowflakes....Brrrrrr
But still the black duck couple
returned to the pond.


Snowflakes at the end of April!
Enough is enough.


Our ducks are wearing pink leggings
and a flash of blue.


Usually they are hidden behind long grasses
but of course this year the grasses are still dormant
so the ducks are quite visible.


The week closed celebrating Ashley.

  1. I imagine every critter needs leggings since spring doesn't seem to be in a hurry to arrive. Here's to sunshine and blue sky days ahead.

  6. You know what struck me when I looked at your scratchings today ??? In the future Ashley is now 80 yrs old, in a museum, where your tapestries are hanging, and sees how lovingly she has been thought of and added to your work ... what an emotional moment that would be ... to be connected to the past like that ! ;)

  7. The material you chose for your duck looks great and I really like the stitching you did for the wing.
