A Newt Discovery

Yes indeed, Spring has sprung.

And so, too, have creatures great and small in our back yard.

I will spare you the gruesome story of exactly how I came

to discover this Newt, but perhaps it's enough to say

the words Stanley, baby rabbit and shovel. 

Maybe that was too much.

Well, as I uncovered this guy, contrary to what I expected,

he didn't move a muscle. 

And when I returned with my camera, he remained steady 

for his debut. Good Newt.

We'll see how long he sticks around.

 Sorry, but I just can't get enough of our flowering cherry 

and crab apple trees. Wildly inspiring, wouldn't you say?

 While I've been busy in the Studio and at the computer

working on new designs, (hooray!) and (more to follow!)

I've managed to squeeze in a few minutes 

here and there to piece together 

the Lost and Found quilt top. 

Thanks to all who offered opinions about the sashing. 

I think it all came together pretty well, don't you?

Next come layering, quilting, and my personal favorite, binding. 

Stay tuned for the final update on this unique quilt,

as well as the exciting work happening in the Studio. :)

Wishing you all a safe and fun-filled Memorial weekend!
