….do you find you have more lids than containers or vice versa?
Thanks to Becky B for hosting March Square. We’re getting close to the end.

Rocky Raccoon Caught in a Square Box
…..thanks to Becky B for hosting March Square
This little fella or gal was sitting in our deck box yesterday. Our dog was sniffing around the box when we let her outside and she was quite agitated. When my husband opened the box this is what he saw. He quickly called me outside and prompted me to open the box while he took a photo. I was a little nervous but the dog scared this critter more than we did. I’m going to say that ‘Rocky’ is a girl because when she climbed out she struggled quite a bit because of her massive size. I suspect that she’s pregnant. No animals were harmed in this exercise and Rocky has not returned.
365 Days of Art – Day 57
Complicated Colour Fields – Part 2
A couple of weeks ago I showed you a project that I started with Carla Sonheim called Complicated Colour Fields – Part 1. You can see what I made here.
The following week I had to cover the entire piece with different bands of acrylic colour and then sand away some of the paint, once it dried, to bring back some of the designs from below. I did that but very little of the original patterns showed through. I decided to share it with you because this is called 365 Days of Art, not 365 Days of Great Art. Some days you won’t get what you hoped for and sometimes it’s more than you hoped for.
For me these two pieces were a bit of a disappointment but I can see using them either has a backdrop for another art project or cut up or torn up for a collage piece. Do you have any suggestions for me?

This is another frog from the exhibition at the Royal Botanical Gardens. It is an African bullfrog. It may not be apparent from the photo but this beauty is about the size of a dinner plate.
More Signs that Spring is Here
….even though it’s still March and spring is officially here I say this with some trepidation
The sun is high in the sky, people are catching some rays on park benches, a few brave souls are playing tennis and we’ve started cooking outdoors again.
New Flower (March 26, 2018) – Sun Star
….this is truly new to me
On our walk yesterday I found this beautiful flower at one of the markets along our route.
March Square – Celebrating Canada’s 150th
,,,,,thanks to Becky B for hosting March Square
Some of the quilts at Friday’s quilting show at Neilson Park Creative Centre clearly had been made to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. This was the centre of a larger quilt and I’m wishing I had taken a photo of the entire piece.

Cee’s Odd Ball Challenge – March 25, 2018
….thanks to Cee for hosting the Odd Ball Challenge
I loved this unusual little ballet dancer in the middle of the quilting show I attended on Friday. I think she qualified for the show because she was made with leftover quilting threads.
