Photo Challenge: STITCH review

A photo from warmer days (Apr.14). Whilst waiting for a friend to join me for tea, I used my crochet as a makeshift tea-cosy.

I have done my best to do a review of all our STITCH photos on the iPad. Still not adept at making the links, but I hope I have managed to include everyone. Once again such a wonderful variety and glimpses into other aspects of some fascinating blogs. Thanks so much to everyone for joining in. It is always the stories behind the pictures that enrich this challenge for me.

Garden Cathy, Roz, Melissa and I have all combined this with Ronovan’s haiku challenge, interestingly, he didn’t, ha! But he did join in with a photo! Welcome Ron!

NanaCathy: powerful, with poetry

Melissa: swan lake and more than one haiku

Me: nature’s glitter, with haiku.

Rosalind: Mediterranean Winter

Roz: Gypsy Caravan in gorgeous setting and haiku

Cathy: beauty caught before it disappeared, with haiku.

Jen: elegant birch

Ali at Thimberlina: joy and munching

I have been having a tidy up on the computer and came across this little slideshow of a beach mandala, gently transformed by the tide, that I made on the Isle of Skye about 10 years ago, a very timely find – hope you enjoy it.
