Our Trip to Spain

Canadian winters are notorious for being long and cold...and this year's has been no different.

We decided to get away over March Break and sunny Spain sounded perfect!

We rented a little countryside cottage southwest of Antequera and it was a little piece of paradise...







Warm, sunny days...great food, hiking, all in this gorgeous setting! ...now I must learn more Spanish!

Clear sky breaking through the storm clouds...new earrings

We've had a lot of ups and downs with our weather this winter. Dull, gray days and freezing drizzle.
Finally the brilliant blue sky will break through the clouds and the temperature will plummet.

I certainly prefer the sunny weather even if I have to bundle up. I can't wait for Spring to arrive.

I made these lampwork beads with this thought in mind...


Blue opal on a gray background...with a bit of white showing through.


Accented with Swarovski Aquamarine crystals and sterling silver earwires.


Available for purchase on my website.

17 Equations That Changed The World...A Knitted Tale



Here's a progress pic for my #doubleknitcowl. 



As a #mathnerd this pattern called to me and it’s been a fun knit! Here's the reverse...


It's a pattern called "17 Equations Mobius Scarf" by Erica B.

Of course I am reading the book too!😁

FYI I dyed the light pink yarn with avocado pits!🥑





The original yarn was undyed...who knew that green avocado pits would yield a beautiful dusty rose dye? I didn't add any mordant and so far it seems to be colourfast.
