the basin – day 286

Happy New Year

May 2021 have all the blessings of our bountiful earth while leaving the hurt and sorrow of 2020 behind us.

Of all that we do for each other, kindness is the parts of the day best remembered.

Here is the wonder that is the Sooke Basin, 3 seasons of life, love, tears throughout a pandemic – a once in a century event – as a slide show. these are just a few of the photos from the last 284 days presented in a slide show. Enjoy and have a peaceful and healthy 2021.

Be kind, Stay Safe and be well. Thank you so much for taking the time to enjoy this blog.

2015–the backside of another year– Time to look forward too

It was a good year overall.  Not enough sewing projects were completed but I still have not given up on them.  I guess it is to be expected having a full time job and an almost full time self employed business and family to help keep it all together.

There is the Mona Lisa – my red. So named  because I have been working on it for over a year.  It will look good and fit like a glove but as of yet I have no where to ware it.  So I will be patient. DSC07773

There is the almost finished kimono that I have started for my partner – mostly finished so perhaps this weekend.  Both the Kimono and the Mona Lisa red dress are currently residing on my dress mannequin dummy– (Daisy is the dummy’s name – just in case you ask.)  Daisy is residing in my office at the moment and doing an additional duty of holding the felted wool coat – just because it is very cold outside and it is a good fit.

The photographs are a nice distraction from the everyday pressures so they continue to pop out of my camera. I enjoy sharing them here on the blog – keeping it simple while I do.

I am looking forward to sharing a stellar 2016 here when I can.  Life sometimes just gets  busy!

 

Have great New Year Folks.
