Since I've been home....

Sorry it's been such a long time since I last posted. I've been enjoying being at home. There's the novelty of snow and the pretty kind of light it reflects. It's so crisp and bright and makes colours so beautiful.

Miss Kya is also happy to be home. I noticed rapid movement out in the yard the other day and when I went to the window to investigate she was playing catch with herself. She was throwing the ball across the yard and then making dramatic dives through the snow to recover the ball. It was very entertaining, although she seemed embarrassed when she noticed me watching her. Yesterday she visited with one of her pups, Arlo. Now that Arlo is bigger than her, she's having a harder time showing (or maintaining for that matter) her dominance!



I've been painting. Not in the studio yet, but in the house. I was lucky to find some lovely mistints at the hardware store the other day and couldn't resist the yummy chocolate and rich putty for the front entry.



I've also been making some curtains for the upstairs bathroom. I was really wanting to be sewing while I was away, so as soon as I got home I got to work. I've had this fabric, which I bought a few years ago, slated for this project forever so I'm glad to be hurrying them along. The feel of this fabric is really nice; nubbley and heavy. I'm really happy with the way they are turning out.



This first week back at work was tiring as I was starting work when my body thought it was still 5 in the morning holiday time! So this weekend I have been enjoying long and leisurely breakfasts. I love breakfast when I have the time to enjoy it. This morning there was fruit salad and toast with lemon curd - yum.
