quick april update!

hot couple of days so yes, it does feel spring indeed....no plans here except ??  if it stays dry might scoot around a bit just for fresh air...nice to have it bright in the mornings and late afternoon...

forging ahead on "wensleydale"....definitely not a fast project but actually eager to continue....3 blocks are done, biggie pile of fabrics threatens to overtake the studio area but variety is a must for this project.


so far so good but again, making an awful mess....

and the first photo of this was nagging at me to swap out the block that was too dark....so i did...


ok now it's done....will get it basted and add to the quilting pile...

back to the memory lab yesterday and digitized 3 more of my dad's 8mm reels....aside from a bit of landscape--dad loved the woods and always filmed trees, lakes etc--some funny bits....for a while they had a pony/small horse and one film showed various family members taking a turn on her including mom!  another bit showed my ex driving a motorcycle with my 4 yo along....so cute!  i've 1 more reel plus some negatives and slides i'll do next....this is such a great library benefit saving us a small fortune.  my dad would be thrilled to know his films that are 40-50 years old are still viable.  he always said we'd be glad someday and he was right.  

off to make the day's list and tackle...wishing you a delightful april fool's day...no foolin'!
