Water


Two days ago people in our French village woke up 
to this surprise. Our young friendly neighbour sent us 
the photos - as we are not able to be there because of health issues.




The village road -
and behind the house - the last flooding seems
to have been 30 years ago.






We deposited our furniture from the farmhouse in the barn
ajoining the house - we hope the damage will be not too bad. 
There are boxes and boxes full stuff gathered during lovely
summer stays in the Vosges - also many books - dictionaries and
non-fiction - about nature and wild animals and the region.



We got these absolutely charming New Year whishes from
the future proprietors of the farm house. Their 3 year old son
built the snowman. He is a love of a boy and the snowman tells
it all. We are happy that our so well cared of farmhouse will
be in good hands in a few weeks.

Meanwhile I am using the recovering time of DH
to work on a combined fabric-paper book.



Teapot and cup made by pulled stitches, but helas -
the fabric did not give itself to be pulled - so it looks
like stitched


Stitches everywhere



I love to do some needle lace

    The village looks dreadful in the flood.
    The snowman looks charming on the rock.
    I hope your husband's rehabilitation looks good!

  4. I hope the waters are receding by now? Any signs of spring at your house? There are very few here today. Snowdrops ARE coming but it is VERY cold and blustery today. I hope you are both well?
