It´s the 9th
of March and still lots of snow. Last year we did a lot of outside work in
February and March but now we are still waiting on better weather to arrive. Last
Tuesday we had some glimpse of spring. The sun was shining clearly, no wind and
it was complete silent only the soft sound of chirping birds. We took our time
to sit outside and enjoying a cup of tea. It was even warm enough without coat
and scarf, I´m looking forward to more of these days. But for now it´s snowing
again, so waiting for the next nice day to come…..

But in the
meantime, there is lots of other work to do. We are still busy with the
firewood making, but it´s in progress and hopefully done in two weeks…
My
lavender seeds seem to sprout, I hope the will grow! Of course, I´m still
sewing on my new dress, I have finished the upper skirt, (the skirt consists of
two parts, a shorter the upper skirt and the longer underskirt,) and I almost
finished the day bodice, I only need to sew 7 buttonholes and two buttons. After
that is only the underskirt, a ball bodice and the short cloak left to make :).
This will be a multifunctional dress but
more over that later.
working with our workpony to be, he ´s doing so well!
