On Saturday night I caught this beauty rising over the lake – a perfectly timed blood moon is such a lucky shot! Sunday I caught this lovely angle. Sadly, not such a rare occurrence around here. Sunday was also the day that I finished our latest batch…
I love spring for lots of reasons; the temperatures are comfortable, the novelty of nice weather is fresh, the nights are still cool enough for knitted shawls and scarves. Most of all though, spring is a time of great inspiration for my work because so many beautiful flowers…
