calendar and book

{Calendar Week 15}

My calendar was influenced by Poppytalk's spring color week. Thanks to Jan.

Book 14/52:

Jeannette Walls' Half Broke Horses

(This is the story of Walls' maternal grandmother. I liked it as much, if not more, than The Glass Castle.)

poppytalk white

Friday is the final day of spring color week at Poppytalk. White!

In particular, I was happy to revisit these photos of the goose egg and cotton boll that my friend gave me for my last birthday.

I hope you have a nice weekend. I'll be here to post my calendar and book on Sunday.

poppytalk lavender

Thursday is lavender during Poppytalk's color week!

I've pulled out some vintage patchwork squares. The ones on top and bottom are quite old, from the early part of the 20th century. The one in the middle, signed by the maker in embroidery, was probably made a little later around the 1930s or 1940s. I like the middle patch of the top one - the little spade-shaped leaf pattern - and the bark-like pattern of the bottom one.

Wednesday is pink at Poppytalk!

I am loving the new group of birds that I finished over the weekend. This pink one is a preview. I'll post the others soon!

Tuesday is YELLOW at Poppytalk Spring Color Week!

I was so honored to see some of my photos posted in the green mosaic yesterday, and today my embroidery is posted. Thank you dear friends at Poppytalk!

poppytalk green

I'm participating in Poppytalk's Spring Color Week, a first for me. Today's color is green. I'll post a photo or two exploring a different color each day this week. Perhaps these lovely spring colors (green, yellow, pink, lavendar, and white) will usher in some color in the currently dull landscape around my home!
