And travelling west ...Victoria B. C.

I spent a whirlwind couple of days visiting Victoria with a friend. I am on my way home tomorrow.
I am looking forward to spring at home.

It wasn't what I expected

I had a vacation, visiting with my Mom, who lives in the Pacific Northwest.  This is a picture of how the days looked.  This  is a coloured picture....

There was one sunny moment, that I went for a short walk, it is in the 'country' making for hazardous walking...especially for this gal who has an iffy ankle.

Oh well...as Mom says what can you do?!
On my return I had the pleasure of quilting a really sweet little quilt.  Pictures were taken outside, so that plus the busy pattern does not show the quilting from the front.  However.....

I did a version of the floral and a squiggle through the chain. 

It is a William Morris print done in Kaffe Fassett colours....yummy.

Home Again

I prefer to keep this blog a 'pleasant' place to visit... whinging is
not something I like to get into but I am going to Whinge.
A month away I am home to a dead computer. acck! Lots of plans go on immediate hold.
DH., is going to be depending on crutches for the next several weeks(months!)
Okay done. Thanks for listening :))

I have been visiting our west coast in Terrace, and Vancouver. It was wet, and cold.
Which is just how I remember November when I lived there.
I was once again very taken with the greens. Perhaps
it is the moisture in the air, that changes the intensity of some colours.
And the moss in Terrace....it's everywhere. It's green.(grin)

My 'puter came back from the doc's. Not good. My data is retrievable but the
power supply is no longer being manufactured.
I am writing on my sons wee netbook.
I may just end up with something similar.

I purchased some great regional fabrics while in Terrace.
I will post pictures as computer issues are resolved, sigh.

Wishing all those celebrating Harvest and Light Festivals a safe and happy time.
