Knit sweater project that is in progress. It features soft wool that is dyed in a variety of both warm and cool natural colors that resemble the browns and greens in a forest of trees and the blues of a stream or lake.

Sometimes we just need to hold something beautiful…

Orange marmelade ! 🌼🌸🪻🌻

Fragrant purple Lilac bush blooms in the warm sunshine.

A small thirteenth century stone chapel overlooks the beach. Through the pine trees, the Cap Frehel lighthouse, which sits on a high cliff, is visible in the distance.

In a pink stone wall, an old garden gate with rusted hinges and chipped white paint is closed. Behind it, in the garden, a purple and sweet smelling lilac bush blooms in the bright sunshine.

Looking out from the Point aux Chèvres there is a view of a crescent shaped beach to the left. The water is light blue near the beach and dark blue further from shore. The sun is shining with Cap Frehel visible in the distance.

Elle est belle la Bretagne!

After years of #crochet, I decided to learn continental knitting! There is still a ways to go, but I’m really enjoying the process (and my Lantern Moon needles are amazing)! 🧣🧶

Good to know! It would be sad if, after 35 years, three kids, 4 dogs, and seven countries, a sweater was the breaking point🤣

Thank you! I guess my husband won’t get a sweater 🥰!

I’m new to the knitting world, what’s the sweater curse?

Old hands knitting something in the round on double pointed needles. The text reads "When we engage in fiber arts, we are creating something, but we're also participating in historic traditions tens of thousands of years old. You are not only making art for your soul and for future generations, you are embodying the work of our ancestors." - The Woven Road

Knitting, crocheting, and especially spinning make me feel like I am participating in ancient traditions.

My lounge chair is nearly always covered with a blanket because my dog loves it as much as I do…
He knows that it’s off limits, but as soon as he thinks I’m out of the house, this is how I find him!

As I listen to the endless rain beating down, Sammy learns that we just booked his next international flight! So thrilled that we’ll soon be home, enjoying warm sun and palm trees!

A view of Cap Frehel on January 1, 2025 with a touch of sunshine.

“Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering ‘it will be happier’...” ― Alfred Lord Tennyson

A Roman fresco painted in vivid shades of red and yellow with architectural features and a cupid standing at the centre.

This fine Roman fresco once decorated a palatial building on the south bank of the Thames in London. When the building was demolished in the fourth century, the plaster fell face down and lay undisturbed in a medieval garden until they were rediscovered in 1983 #FrescoFriday #FindsFriday

Any day with a blue sky in Brittany is a good day (and there are more of them than than you think).

Can’t believe that there is only a week until Christmas! Less than that if we count Christmas Eve…(and once again the Christmas cards are on my desk, still not being mailed!). 😫
Remembering to breathe and keep the holiday expectations in perspective.

This is so beautiful and festive!

And so pretty, too!

My little corner of paradise. I love my life abroad, but I’m always happy to return to our little, peaceful village on the Brittany coast. #home #Bretagne #Brittany #Noël2024 #Christmas2024 #JoyeusesFêtes
