The birds are back!
Made a stop at the Creamers Field this afternoon. It was busy, lots of people using the viewing areas and the walking trails. Beautiful day, sunny and warm.
The MASK is finished!
I think I really like this one. I usually work in earth tones, but this project needed bright, happy beads. What do you think? Here is my backyard snowshoe hare. Thanks for looking, have a great week-end!
Blending In
This snowshoe hare hangs out in my front yard every morning, and spends late afternoon – early evening in the back yard. It is nice to watch him change color with the season.
