tried to make napkins shaped like trees;-)…
they would have been better with green fabric, but this was what I had to work with, lol…
the first one came out not too bad, but after that, each one was different;-)…
apparently I need to practice for a while with the video in front of me…

I had planned to barbecue steak and lobster for my birthday supper… unfortunately, it was cold and snowy, so I ordered in…
Monday the sun was shining so I went out at noon and barbecued both… even filled a bird feeder while I was waiting for the temperature to get to where I wanted it…
had half of both for my lunch and set the rest aside for a salad…
I am getting much better at barbecuing… clearly practice helps…

over the last week or so I’ve been collecting things so that I can do some watercolour painting…
yesterday I gathered up all the equipment and sat down to paint…
when I did some of this at Christmas in Ottawa it was more difficult than I’d imagined it would be…
here at home I think it was even more difficult without my daughter’s mentorship, lol…
it was a fun hour, although I need to practice more;-)…

yesterday I picked up flowers and never got around to taking any pictures…
today I stopped and took a few moments to snap a few…
still getting used to the new camera but enjoying the opportunities to practice with it…
and my African violet is blooming again;-)…
