some slow improvement

 i can't lift much of anything so yesterday i spent the day making easter/spring tree ornaments
it was ok since i had to hurry up and wait......
then ice my arm
i did 15 of them
one looks like an easter bonnet!
i made little flowers too that looked either like petunias or morning glories
put them on the little ornaments
and they are LITTLE
then researched vintage pom pom animals
and cotton batting ornaments


  i am thinking..............................................................
i also am thinking, of my spring dollhouse scale bird houses and bird nests
i am seriously thinking of listing some of them for sale on etsy as i got a huge stash left over from when i did the wholesale miniatures
i could really use the space too (and they were fun to make)

i have so many things i want/need to do oye..... but at least with the weather warming up (sorta-ice is melting and refreezing out back, the alien ice patch is out there, i can see it from the studio) i will be able to get ducks out earlier, maybe do some painting etc.
i am hoping to get a lot more done prior to canning season... i didn't get much drawing in during this winter due to unseasonably warm weather in fits and starts..oye
i am beginning to think i need to AGAIN rethink/redesign the studio as it's inefficient the way it is right now during the winter.... wood ends up all over the legs of my drafting table and i can't get in there easily.

so next up i think i am going to do some cotton batting ornaments......maybe a few sheepies.....TUNIS sheepies! we'll see
i don't think i have cotton roving in my stash...... but i have some ingeo (roving made of corn!) which i may make some pom pom chicks out of it's even a 'buff orpington chick' color!

in looking at these pictures, i like the one that looks like an easter bonnet! ...btw, the colors are so much better in person....sorry about the photo's.... thaddeaus was in there too and he'd sat in a CAKE to get to them
(cake on the table next to the spring tree- normally they don't go on the table so he really wanted those ornaments BAD)

today is just cold enough for a fire..... i didn't let bernie start one though as i had to clean the stove..... i am going to stoke it up more in a few minutes.
i have to scan the tax stuff too today if i can get the scanner hooked up to the computer.
what am i doing lingering over coffee and email when i have so much to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and the chard seedlings need to be moved on as well!
