A Few Spring Projects For The Deck

We are finally having some warm days here in PA and it feels like Spring.
Time to prep the deck for some outdoor activities.
 I've recycled all my old throw pillows into one giant pillow for the deck.
 Our new pergola has been installed and is waiting for our first BBQ.
 My temple bells are hung
 and the Buddha statue is in place.
It's starting to come together nicely.
I'll be spending time reading, spinning yarn, and working on a little yoga here over the summer.
No vegetable garden for me this year.
How about you?

Crochet With Textiles

After making far too many of the plant hangers, I still wasn't ready to give up on crocheting with reclaimed textiles. This woven cotton with indigo print was nice to work with.
I used it to crochet this sort of freeform pod.
It reminded me of some bells that I have that came from Africa.
So, I added some small brass bells to crocheted textile chains and the pod became a bell.
 
 Another one of my no reason or purpose creations.
