The last part again

 Hello again :) 

I'm back with the last part of the Winter Tranquillity kit .I normally wanted to post yesterday ,but we had a stressful day at work and when I got home I just wanted to chill out and then go to bed. 

Winter weather has left us and the last days have been sunny and warmer, although the nights are still cold and frosty. which makes dressing for work rather awkward. It's cold when I leave at 6 am and by 3 pm when I finish it's nice and warm . So I dress in layers and take them off as the temperatures rises. With late shifts it's the other way around :)  I ended up having to walk to work while we had snow and ice .Even some of my colleagues left their cars at home and walked. I'm so glad it's all gone I hope that was it and winter weather doesn't return. I am so ready for spring ! 

So what have I been up to? 

My photography practice was in my living room this time. I practiced a close up of my bunch of flowers. It's looking very "springtime " 
I did some more embroidery on this cotton project bag and I'm thrilled how it turned out :) 
My Valentines project is this Macrame Heart wreath with lots of wooden beads attached. Love how it looks on my flat door. 
I purchased a new watercolour book ....
...and this is the first motive from this book. I am definitely out of practice ! It took me double the time to paint it than it used to. 

I'm still working on my Spirng  cardigan , which you can see a little of above with the book. I have the back part ready and the first front part is close to finishing as well. 

This month I am also doing a fundraiser challenge for WWF . It's called 100 miles in March and we can run , walk or cycle those 100 miles. Although I'm not having much luck raising funds so far.... hopefully that will get better until April. Let's see how far I can push this aging body to go :) 

Today I have the last part of the current freebie kit for you.

And for next post I think it's definitely time for some more cheerful spring designs. 

I have some plans for the coming weeks like some classes , carry on with my latch hook project and spring cardigan, plus I want to make some more crochet plant hangers once my order of gold brass ring hangers arrives. And hopefully the weather will be kind for those cycle rides and walks . 

I think I will have a hot chocolate drink now and then go to bed with a good book and read a little before my eyes get tired. It's only a quarter past eight , but it's my day off and crawling under the warm blankets and getting cosy sounds rather tempting . 
Stay healthy and crafty , all of you and until next time time 💓 

Hugs Snowy

How did I miss this post? Your springtime flowers are beautiful. You have quite an ambitious "to do" list. I'll be waiting to see your "springtime cardigan." You have a wonderful day, hugs, Edna B.

Oh, I missed it too, this post.
Gosh, you are still ambitious with all the to-do things. And I cross my fingers for you that will raise some funds for the WWF.
Have a lovely day,
Hugs

Thank you for the parts I missed. And for the one that wouldn't open for me.
I love your crochet things but I'm not very good at crocheting but my daughter is so good and she invents things.
Like I'm wearing an Oxygen hose 24/7 so she crouched several long ropes with a pocket for one of the parts that catches water so I don't drown. It's long enough to be a "cross-body holder" for the hoses and canola that fit into my nostrils. now I have one at my head and a very long tubing so I can walk from one end of my house to the other.
Thank you again for the files.
