Earth Day

 Today we celebrate our big blue marble

And here's a series of paper mosaics by young  children in Darrell Wakelam's classes

And closer to home, balancing, more or less, the destruction of our lovely old weathered cedar fences, the roots of a felled tree across the street were removed yesterday, and a lovely new flowering tree planted in their place. 

Mary, I thought of your grandchildren when I watched these boys with toys at work. They'd probably have been asking to help.

And, my own little bit of up cycling, here's the first fitting of the vest, to check my shoulder seams.  

I'll be cutting more from the armholes, armscyes to posh seamstresses, before I settle on the side seams. Depending on how the pockets work, too, I may shorten it before hemming. It's a work in progress.

Aren't we all.. happy Earth Day, everyone.
