I decided that my stars needed a Moon in the sky,,,
This is just pinned in place for now and over this
weekend I will invisible baste it in place.
The Moon is cut from an Eco-printed cloth square;
I had bought a variety pack of eco prints on etsy
quite a while ago and this is the first piece
i will be using in my Dark Days project.
I really love the subtle color variations in it...
After it is basted in place I
will be adding some fancy stitching
and perhaps a surround of
sari silk ribbon?
Still pondering on this...
***********************
Search as we will, we cannot see any
grass coming up here as yet--it has
been SO COLD--
S I G H ..out watering
twice a day....
But.....
My climbing rose on our fence is
greening up
Under the watchful eye of Mr. Owl that we
placed there to keep the woodpeckers from
drilling anymore holes in our fence!!
This azalea is all budded out...
It resides just outside our front windows of our
side tv room along with 4 others...
and
the Iris blades are coming up, too
All sure signs that Spring has sprung
despite our chilly temps...this has to
have been one of the coldest Aprils
on record so far....at least it feels
that way.
I am still sporting my "puffy coat" when
I venture out...
(aka "Nanook of the North look")
I hope all of you celebrating Easter
have a wonderful weekend Holiday..
Hugs, Julierose

ReplyDeleteI like the moon addition and the fabric you used to set your stars. I had my first walks without a woolly hat this week!
ReplyDeleteLove the Moon and stars! How appropriate w our recent spring full moon. The eco fabric of the Moon is beautiful. [May I ask what eco fabric is?]
ReplyDeleteCold here but a rare sunny day. Since Mo cannot do our walks I m trying to arrange walks w a human friend! But we hate the fierce wind annd cancel. Happy Easter!
The moon is a great addition to your stars, Julierose and the fabric is perfect! It certainly looks like Spring has sprung in your area despite the chilly temps. Hopefully, soon the grass will be peeking its way through the straw. Love that owl too! Have a super day. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteApril has seemed cold here too. Just enough warm days to remember spring is coming and then back to cold again.
ReplyDeleteThe fabric for the moon is just perfect, Julierose. The moon and stars look great arranged on the background fabric. Love Ollie, glad he is doing a great job. I miss azaleas. We had them Alabama where I grew up.
ReplyDeleteThe moon looks lovely, nice idea. It is cooler today but it because of the much needed rain.
ReplyDeleteI love that you added the moon! It looks perfect among the stars. I thought April was cold too. I'm still wearing my heavy fleece jacket. It does look like Spring is coming but too slowly for me!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea adding the moon, the fabric is perfect. (It makes me rethink 'Eclipse'). Cute Ollie! Your plants have decided it's spring, and so it will be, soon! Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteThe moon is a brilliant addition. I'm still wearing my winter coat too and was very glad of it this morning when we stood in line outside waiting to be allowed to vote in the advance polls. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect fabric for the full moon! It is a great addition to those stars. I'll take a bit of that cool weather off your hands... in the 90's here now. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I really enjoyed this post. 👌 Happy Easter and warm greetings from Montreal, Canada 🇨🇦 😀
