Friday Un-Finished


 This week went by too fast and I never got a chance to sit down and work on my newest project. It is a kit that I got to review and only got it started. Kits are fun since they are pre stamped and easy to do, so hopefully I can get some crafting time this weekend. The only bad thing is, I tend to go off on my own, so I did add a little of my own nicer roving, but mainly, I will stick to the original. It is a fun way to get started on painting with wool.



Last weekend we took a trip to Connecticut. We enjoyed visiting places along the river and even found a new trail that went along the river.



We took a few back roads and enjoyed a few waterfalls.




At the Connecticut river, we did see an eagle, though it was far away. Always a few types of birds who live along the waterways.



We also spotted some hawks along the way, one was just trying to rest when the crows decided to harass it.



The last thing we did was visit this fun gift and candy shop. Lots of old fashioned candies but ones Nick can't eat, he has braces now.



Another day we spent at the island, and enjoyed a new hiking trail near a farm, more hawks there. And a ride to the ocean to see the waves.



Of course we always have to walk along the beaches and find new treasures. I am also trying to find more smaller rocks to paint, love hiding them when we go hiking.



On the way back, we saw the Osprey pair is back in the cove. The others have yet to arrive.



Today we got to the beach before the rains come in tomorrow. We watched two boats, putting out the mooring buoys. Lots of boaters use moorings to save on costs of using the marina. We also found some nice colors today.



And of course, the shorebirds were out, enjoying the low tides, and we spotted another hawk. I hope you all have a nice weekend and hopefully the weather will keep improving for all of us.

Good to read that you are feeling well enough to be out and about and exploring. I didn't realize they even made felting kits. Interesting. Enjoy what's left of your weekend. ~Robin~
