Breakfast with Blackberries
April 23rd, 2008In order not to repeat yesterday’s slow start, I greeted the early morning with a steaming hot bowl of oatmeal and glistening blackberries.
Next, onto the final designs for a series of holiday greeting cards. Not to mention, wrapping my brain around the technicalities of this blog.

CD cover with graphics from Blackforest, this year’s fabric design.
Off to a slower start today than I really wanted. I must buckle down and get the fabric design for the Christmas Market completed and mailed to the fabric house. In the process, I discovered that I didn’t have enough memory on the computer to actually save variations I had created. I believe an IT guy is in my future with his pockets filled with more memory for this old computer.
In a stunning twist of fate, I performed techical duties previously I believed were beyond my ken. I got my mother’s ipod nano up and running for her - along with a teaching session for her new camera. Old right-brain dog-new left brain tricks, will wonders never cease!
Snowy April
April 21st, 2008When I returned to the Schoolhouse it was spring. The tangled apple branches had the hope of early buds. There were even a couple days of nearly 80 degree warmth. Winter was finally over. The grass was greening and I looked warily at all the apple trees that need to be pruned and shaped.
Now as I gaze out the kitchen window, there is again snow. There must be de ja vu afoot. Too cold to work outside, well at least for me! It looks like bookwork today. Now I have no more excuses. Hi ho, hi ho it’s off to the computer I go.
A weary geranium awaiting spring.
