the last bits before the market

Because daughter and I 

are going to a market this Monday
May 16

there were a lot of "last bits"

to finish off this week :

felting bits

and a lot of painting
(the flowers that I drew some days ago)

But between all that

I had to keep track of the nest !

Nest ?

What nest !

Well this little snow white lady decided

that our garden was just THE perfect place for her nest :

a safe high spot next to the timbering at the edge of the water !

From time to time she flies away to take a swim

and ruffle her feathers.

(then it's my turn to take a look : four greenish white eggs,

there were five at first

but after some days there were only four)

We're waiting
and counting the days.

You can see the lovely Bluebells right next to her,

I love to draw / paint these.

The finished Bluebells portrait !

And in the flowers I got on Mother's day

was a Calla lily in beautiful pink,

which became into this :

Calla Lily

(Zantedeschia)

And this was one of the felting "bits"
(not quite finished yet !)

(this will be a necklace, no "end" picture)

Still things to do ...

But

...............

we hope the weather won't be TOO bad on Monday :

there will be a turn in the good weather of these last two weeks  

:-(

Ahhhhh

it just needs to be dry

(we can put on a sweater for the cold)

But it will be just fun with all the

GOODIES

that will be there !

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE 

(if you live near here)
