Groundhog Day!

Hello everyone.  I love Groundhog Day, Feb. 2, because it's about shadows and hibernation and the coming of spring or the clinging of winter and it's not widely celebrated so you can do what you want with it!  This year I was hoping to do a little more but became engaged in a lengthy wrangling contest with my very quirky printer;  finally I managed to make a few cards and only two hibernation pillows...here is one:


And then I made a small brooch:


This is a belated report on the wondrous January full moon...the apple tree branches picked up the glow and seemed to be announcing something ...a dance at midnight perhaps...

Here is proof of progress on long term projects...a pile of squares for my grandson's quilt...soon I'll be able to start putting it together...

This is the pile of squares for a knitting project for a baby blanket to give away.  I was greatly inspired by Kaite.  I'm a very slow knitter with a LOT to learn but this is a good project when I need to have busy hands but not too much complication...

And here is my own little groundhog, Gilly, emerging from her burrow...a children's tunnel I bought at Ikea for her agility training class.  I also made her an item to jump over out of PVC pipe.  She loves learning and it keeps us both busy. 
That's all for now.  Enjoy your Groundhog Day!  If you're having a prolonged hibernation, enjoy that too.  xoxo, s.
