Find the Goldfinches... they’re in there! Just another late April snow...

Springtime and Dragonfly gets to go outside!! #beardeddragon #dandelion #firstofspring

From @atlasfarm ! Helping me get thru this LAST snowstorm... 😉

Brushed the last of the bunnies today! 6! Took this picture with my new phone, holy moly. #angorabunnies

Bought myself a new Bunny-bun 2.0 by @elisabethradysh from @franklincoop ! My favorite part of Easter! 💕💕💕

Beautiful spinach for breakfast from @wingatefarm ! Cooking it with ground beef from @wheelviewfarm and black beans. Starting the day right. . #winterspinach #localfood

So technically speaking, where we live in Massachusetts, yesterday was our Equinox, when day and night are equal. Pretty cool. Starting today we have 3 min more of the sun being “up” 😉 you know, where we can see it from our latitude. That’s 3 days before the official Spring Equinox, which must be an average. Never thought about these variations! Anyway, if you live here, Happy Spring! 🌷🌱🌷

Close ups from the Bulb Show. #waterdrop #flowers

Went to the Spring Bulb Show at Smith College yesterday, holy Spring!! Such a nice reminder in the middle of winter! Just soaked in the intense colors and the warm humid air. So beautiful. I love winter, and having the time to “go in” and I love the white blanket, but wow what a welcome site. #springbulbs #tulips #winterisalmostover

Pattern figuring. Love hate thing. So frustrating but when it works sooo satisfying! Sewed these brown ones by hand just to leather sole to see if I’m on the right track. I *really* want to learn other styles of shoemaking... And get myself a set of lasts that I actually like the shape of! (For molding the shoes, and in many cases, for making the shoes on). #handmadeshoes #handmadeboots #homemadeshoes

My step-sister @kayamakesmusic was asked to play a gig in Hong Kong with her band!! Love the gold pants 💛💛💛 Way to go Kaya!!

Cleaning up patterns for the girls leather backpack class (full) starting this Saturday! If someone asked me to do pattern design for them I would say yes... #toomanyhobbies #handmadebackpacks #sewing

Friends? So far, so good! Watching closely! Dragonfly loves running around the house, so I hope this works out! #beardeddragon

Posting again cuz the back got cut off... I just love this shape!!

A year ago I masked off my friends’ Blundstones and made a pattern. Last night I realized the best way to make them and put them together! I’m happy with this first try. The shoe is still wet with the last inside, shaping it. I’ll shape the toes next round, then sand edges. I’m always amazed at what is possible to make, that we so easily buy. Shoemaking is possibly the MOST satisfying project I do!! So grateful to Sharon of @simpleshoemaking for teaching me 8 years ago! 💕💕 #handmadeshoes #homemadeshoes #makersgonnamake #sewing #beproudofyouraccomplishments #simpleshoes

Finished shoes from our Sole Girls Shoemaking Class!! They did such a great job! 💕💕💕 #handmadeshoes

Nice warm walk to the #quabbinreservoir today, to “big water”. Gorgeous. #quabbin #hiking

SO glad I brought in some calendula plants 🌱 this Fall- one is just flowering! Such a gift! Also, Rosemary goes out on the warm sunny days for a few hours of real sun. Notice the south porch thermometer vs the weather app temp?? 64F, people!! Holy passive solar, Batman. 😮🌱❤️
