Spring is sweet

 I've been taking a break from typing and enjoying the beautiful sunshine, getting out walking with my lab, and I discovered how fun and relaxing playing sudoku can be. I'm really into exercising my brain, like doing math problems without paper, and looking at colorful fabric pieces, and reading books.
I received a bag of scraps from a nice person I know who collects them for me and it had those cut triangles and other little pieces. I see it like a kid with a bag of candy, so much fun to look at them and come up with some ideas to use them. I took some and made a new picnic cloth. My picnic cloth is nice to use for setting  my lunch on it, or to cover something in the kitchen.
I also made an embroidered tea towel. They are useful in the kitchen and I love the vintage look that they bring to my kitchen.

I went to farmers market this morning, before my walk with my lab and we bought some fresh juicy strawberries.


What a nice reminder.
This tea towel will be for sale on my etsy shop.
I'm hoping to keep making more tea towels because the charm of a hand made tea towel is just wonderful, my way of keeping an old tradition continuing. Well, you all have a great weekend, and happy sewing!KS
