focus friday feature

 out the sewing room window

Yesterday was leap day.  

Because it's sort of like an extra day I took it off and spent it with a friend. 

It was good. 

We did errands and puttered.

Ate leftovers for lunch.

 Had tea

and watched the snow start to fall.

Today is back to the business of quilting.

This is Gina's pretty quilt.  

I've enjoyed this quilt. 

Today I'll add the colored threads, tie off loose threads, de-lint and it should be finished!

To jump back into blogging and picture taking I'm going to start a 

Focus Friday Feature. 

. . . every Friday I'll post a Photo of something . . .

it's Thursday not Friday yet - but this is what was out my sewing room window this morning.

a finish, firsts and lasts...

...this was started in the winter and I finally got around to finishing it.  It was fun to make and I'd like to make another in a different color-way.

The past few days were summer-like and I've been outside getting some yard chores done. 

While giving the patio furniture a fresh coat of paint, this cool dragonfly visited.

...luckily, this chair had already dried...

We always get a lot of dragonflies, but this was the first time I've seen this type. 

He was quite large.

To the naked eye, his wings looked like paddles, but through the lense you can see his full translucent wing. 

I hope he comes back- I'd like to try and get a better photo. 

...this was the best I could get- he flew away before I could  focus....

In the blink of an eye.

sort of like this...

...from the first day

to the last ...

... graduation on the horizon.

...time flies.
