Change was a good meditation while doing Aprils "Take It Further" work. Change is a by product of living. Some changes are thrust down my throat, some changes happen suddenly, some changes are under my control, some totally karmic. Either way it boils down to how I handle it, how I choose to see it and experience it. It can drag me along kicking and screaming or I can go with the flow. Odds are it's going to happen anyway, with or without me, so how do I see it?? Much better with the proper eyewear on.
I'm not sure, but I'm thinking the colors left me lagging with this one. I found it hard to pick this up and desirously stitch on it. Obviously, I did no hand stitching on it at all. It'll come in handy for the sunny days ahead as it has a pocket that allows the fit of 2 pair, reading and sun glasses. Change is the ability to roll with it and this is just what I did with this block.
This photo makes it look like an oven mitt LOL
While waiting for the pics to load, I sat and looked at the house plants. This is one I dug up last fall. The only survivor that lasted the winter. It some kind of chamomille I'm guessing?
I'm now feeling better about starting the May challenge. I really didn't want to punk out on this TIF thing and now I can move onward. Yay !!

I love your take on change and the whole rose-colored glasses thing. Smart to include a pocket to accomodate two pair of glasses. You never know when you're going to have to *change* from one pair to the other! Great job!
beautiful rich colours - I love what you changed it into Enjoy using it and going with the flow!
Oh, boy, if there's one thing that's constantly changing lately, it's my eyesight! Good choice. I love the strong colorway you used.
Good Day Jane, Love seeing all your lovely plants in your house. Have a good safe trip down to your sister's place. I will look forward to hearing about your journal when you get back. Hugs Judy
The picture with the plants in the window grabs at my heart. What a clever idea to do the glasses case for the challenge. Really nice job carrying it out. Connie
Hi Jane,
I loved seeing the photos of your house and property...what a challenge to carve a garden out of the wilderness! Glad to see you finished the April TIF hurdle with a neat project...a useful one, too. We just got back from Chicago and grandbaby playing. I miss them already, but it's good to be home.
