WHERE HAVE I BEEN...


It's been awhile I know...since Jim passed I've had to find a new normal. It's been challenging to say the least. It's one thing about life I don't like, someone always gets left behind and for the one who does it's a constant heartbreak of finding that normal. It's going on 2 years May 1st and it's still a lot to handle.


I've moved into an apartment complex living with my cat, Bella, and rabbit, Molly. They are now my life as is still my camera. This is a photograph of a dog wandering on the beach this month on a day that was not so chilly. He belonged to a person living near the beach I must add he was an awesome subject.


There was still snow out on the water, none really on the beach...tons of seagulls birds I will never understand or care too...they are one messy bird. I find I enjoy taking photographs on windy days when the water is really packing waves. Love the movement of water in photographs. I miss the woods where I use to live..I was there 12 years the landlord passed the daughters took over and sold everything. So, I had to move...it's difficult leaving a place one has lived at for so long it becomes home and that is one thing that's difficult to keep changing. There I was surrounded by wildlife, woods, green fields...here not so much. I miss it and I miss my Jim more....it gets easier yet ya  never forget.


I am still creating working yarn making blankets, hats, scarves and more...if you're interested in purchasing I have a shop Little Duckling Designs on Etsy. They are all listed in the shop.

If there is anything to learn in life nothing is constant change happens all around us everyday. It's finding out why that's the important part..why we end up where we do no matter how long it lasts or who we are with...there is alway a reason...you're either teaching someone or learning.
If you would like to follow me I am also posting on a new blog *Alpaca Hook n Crochet* be nice to see you their...in the meantime make it a great weekend.

Days of Blessings


The other day while taking a ride with my ill friend enjoying the spring season upon us, I came across these beautiful birds and had to stop. Here in Ohio we mostly see the same Geese making these very unusual, well, at least for me and even my rider.


I kept shooting away at ever angle...totally immersed by the beauty and blessing of it all.
These are moments, yes, moments, to absorb to be in and let nothing else distract you. The beauty of this moment was just that... nature has many healing properties to offer. Mother Nature is your true mother on this Earth, respect her, take care of her and enjoy everything she has to offer. Wouldn't you do the same for your own mother?
Thank you for so much for popping in may there be many Blessing your way'

Blanket Progress

It's a bit of a dreary week so far and perfect for knitting, getting cozy, and turning on the fireplace. Some in the home seem to think the window is the place to be...


Bella has been with me since she was two days old and is now 4, totally hates to be photographed. She turns her head away from me so to capture this photo, I had to make a noise, didn't fool this girl in her fav spot in front of the living room window. Noisy little bugger...she also hates it when I knit she looks at me as if to say...not again! Then I look at her and say...I agree is it done yet!


As I've mentioned many times, I am not one for color in my home, just can't seem to focus when it surrounds me. As I view others blogs with colorful homes I do so enjoy them, yet I know me, and that makes it all okay to be without color. That's what makes life so incredible, knowing yourself, and being completely happy in your own skin. And I am... even with my non colorful home it suits me well as does the blanket I started in August. I am learning something new even though its just a simple garter stitch. I am learning to Continental Stitch an love it! So much faster, easier on the hands, wrist, learning something new is what I love too, and controlling the urge to start a new project before one is done, another thing I am teaching myself.


As is photographing...I am learning everyday that it's something ironic in itself, it's a constant lesson and I enjoy it. I am going back in a few days to photograph the same spot as the leaves change more...color I leave to nature it's truly where I am at home with it. The colors of changing Seasons blend magnificently together naturally and that suits me just fine.
