Around here

definite signs of spring with new spring flowers popping up each day and my rhubarb is sprouting nicely

around-2

my nurse factory is progressing well with all of the bodies now finished so I just need to crochet the hair – colour and length specific to each person – and sew it on then the hat and arms

around-1

Some strange sights on a walk by the water

around-4

a massive fish?

around-3

a crocodile?

or just a lump of something throwing interesting reflections!

I went to a quilt expo on Friday with my Mum – a throng of ladies of a certain age examining the exhibits and buying.  We enjoyed seeing all the creative work with patchwork (traditional and modern), quilting and embroidery.  But I was not tempted to buy up supplies.  There were signs up asking that photos of the works on show were not shared on internet – so I can’t share any of my photos here. Fair enough if people want to protect their creative ideas but I can’t remember the last time I saw a similar sign as most places seem to have accepted / are resigned to the click and share world – do you still see such signs around?

No signs of spring here right now - 8 to 10 inches of snow - but it is melting - soon spring. Love the photos.

I'm delighted to see the nurse factory growing! How special that they will be individualized!

I haven't seen a sign like that at quilt shows (which I attend with Mama sometimes), but at the Scrapbook Expo last week there were booths with pre-designed page kits and they wouldn't even let you take photos.

Love the crocodile! No I haven't seen any notices like that around here. I'll keep a look out. Absolutely love the nurse factory.

The nurse factory is just brilliant.

I have seen signs on stall of hand crafted goods asking for no photographs..and thought it was a bit of a pity. Bloggers love to look at a nice stall full of stuff
