summer fabrics for summer fashions

     I am so happy that Spring is in the air!  True, the lake in my backyard is still frozen, but there is a new freshness outside that is so promising, I know I will be soaking up the sun in a bikini before I know it.  Looks like I have survived my first winter!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

     I have some summer fashions in mind that I want to create just as soon as I get my sewing machine working.  The following fabrics (currently scarves) have sufficiently motivated me to really get cracking on that machine today!

It's snowing again really hard.  This week was mostly sunny, in fact the month of February was pretty sunny all around.  One week ago today the temperature on my shaded thermometer said 54.  When I saw it I couldn't believe it, so I had to go for a walk up the hill overlooking the lake and then down the road to the mailbox.  Being in the sun I was delighted with how warm it felt.  It's important to remember that just a few months ago I truly believed 60 degrees was 'breezing,' haha.  I could have sworn it was 60 degrees last Friday, and by that I mean it was WARM!  But, ho hum. I checked out March and average highs are 45 all month.

In other news, I will be broadcasting from a new location next week so stay tuned to see where I will be (and what I'll be working on), cause it is sure to be super exciting!  I think it might be a good time to show you first how it looks here in Raymond, on the cape of the frozen Sebago Lake...

chickadees say, 'time to restock!'
