Spring Fever

Sprrrring!

With the weather being so crazy gorgeous and the kids on Spring Break, every day has been packed with hikes and picnics and bike rides.  We even managed to spend some time at the beach.  Ok, we didn’t dare get our feet wet what with the water still being freezing cold and all!  We did do some pretty decent beach combing, though.

I’ve been crafting a bit here and there.  On my needles is a lovely cabled sweater, Elia, designed by Julia Trice.  This picture was taken a while ago, I’m almost done with the waist increases now.  Don’t the cables look gorgeous in this yarn?

And I’ve been sewing, of course.

Inspired by Amy’s amazing work of art, I finished this mini quilt and I feel all smiley when I see it hanging on the wall even though the points are not very pointy 🙂  I had so much fun working on this project, I will definitely try squares on point again.

We’re off to the Sunshine Coast this weekend for a last bit of frolic before life returns to normal on Tuesday.
