CAL # 4 & Skywatch

 Chrissie Crafts

I'm a bit late today with my CAL posting with Ladybird Diaries and Chrissie Crafts.  But hey, better late than never!

Truth be told I didn't do much work on my hexies this week due to travelling and other time consuming matters.

I only made 1 more hexie and wove in the ends on two hexies. I also made the beginnings of 2 more hexie pieces.  Altogether not much progress but every little bit helps. I hope to do some crochet work later today.



I am ready for Skywatch Friday. The skies that are clear blue with the brilliantly coloured trees were taken in Vancouver last week.



A few days later I took some photos in Ladysmith, British Columbia.  Ladysmith is a small town located on the east coast of Vancouver Island.


How different the weather was there.  But it wasn't as bad as it appears in the photos. Very cloudy and misty but not raining.  The air was so damp that there was moisture on the benches, trees and trails and even spider webs.

I thought this spider web made an interesting photo.  You can see that the web caught a lot of water from the moisture in the mist.

I also loved looking up at the sky through the trees on my walks.

I'm joining in at SkyWatch Friday with others from around the globe who love to look at the sky. A big thank you to Yogi, Sylvia and Sandy for hosting this meme.

Oh I love all those photographs, I like all your different points of views to these photographs. Your hexies are looking good too. One day I will try the african flower hexie but for now I am going to keep it simple for myself :)

Progress is progress Joyful, and you have made some - you can't be everywhere at the same time - and I love the peaceful soothing colours you have chosen for those sweet hexes.
Your pics are beautiful, I especially like the spider web with the old wood, as well as the bright golden trees. Have a wonderful weekend! Warm hugs, Joy x
