Show and Tell Time.

This year I wanted to give my humble front porch a Moroccan feel. I did a little research about Moroccan gardens and learned of some of the elements I would need. Water, tile, THAT blue, lush greenery, perhaps some cane or wicker, those fabulous lanterns, bright colours and a feeling of privacy to reflect private inner courtyards.

Here's a peek at my attempt so far.

What's up with this great big space here ???????????????

Lilith Fair When this page opened....I got a little excited...next year my (girl)friend(s)...we're all a'go'n to the Fair.

I have been itchy, anxious and scattered lately. I felt the need to drum. I drummed. I felt the need for a BIGGER drum. I bought one! Just "won" this little beauty on eBay. I'm told the sound is "wonderful". The price was excellent. This djembe is 20" tall; my first djembe, which I still love is a little 14" drum.

Knit knit knit and more knitting and may I present "Clapotis the First". I have lusted after this scarf-shawl for a few years and finally took the workshop and have completed my own. There will be more to come. This fibre is 100% sugarcane and produced the most silky, soft and drapey fabric ever.In my lovely corkscrew hazel tree....this first week of June and the garden is so luscious...so many beautiful shades of green.

I love the magic of this project, this design. The piece can stretch out to be a light summer shawl and then it folds in on itself to make a narrow, warm and light scarf.

Ahhh coffee and my Morocco travel book.
