Good morning!
Despite wind and more rain, spring is delightfully here. Each day the garden is bursting with more plants; the bees are working like mad, and the days are getting longer. All good reasons to be elated these days!

Faith Ringgold passed away last week. She was a well known artist who often created "story quilts" that were painted. Two good articles are here and here.

Not sewing related but incorporating threads is the work of Helena Hafemann. Also incorporated into her work? Porcelain. I swear, check it out here to see!

Lately a few things have amused me on Pinterest. One is this game which makes me smile each time I see this game come up.
Although I play board games with my neighbor, we decided this was just too loud and fast for us.
Another amusing title is one of a book:
Here's the blurb that explains the book:
"A cat a day keeps the doctor away…
Discover the award-winning, bestselling Japanese novel that has become an international sensation in this utterly charming, vibrant celebration of the healing power of cats.
Tucked away in an old building at the end of a narrow alley in Kyoto, the Kokoro Clinic for the Soul can only be found by people who are struggling in their lives and genuinely need help. The mysterious clinic offers a unique treatment to those who find their way there: it prescribes cats as medication. Patients are often puzzled by this unconventional prescription, but when they “take” their cat for the recommended duration, they witness profound transformations in their lives, guided by the playful, empathetic, occasionally challenging yet endearing cats.
Throughout the pages, the power of the human-animal bond is revealed as a disheartened businessman finds unexpected joy in physical labor, a young girl navigates the complexities of elementary school cliques, a middle-aged man struggles to stay relevant at work and home, a hardened bag designer seeks emotional balance, and a geisha finds herself unable to move on from the memory of her lost cat. As the clinic’s patients navigate their inner turmoil and seek resolution, their feline companions lead them toward healing, self-discovery, and newfound hope."
