Last installment I was pondering whether or not I would leave the display up for the winter. Well winter came by surprise last week and thus the decision was made for me. These are pictures taken the morning of the first snow and you might need to enlarge the photographs to catch a glimpse of the crocheted lace now covered in layers of dry leaves and a soft blanket of snow.
Can you see the little window of lace in that last photograph.
The snow has now melted and we have been having bright blue skies and temperatures in the teens everyday but cool evenings. That means every morning Jack Frost has been leaving his very own ephemeral art display.
In my creative work this week I have been alternating from working with cold hard stones and soft fuzzy warm wool felt to warm my fingers. I had almost forgotten how much I love to embroider on felt. I am making little things for the shop, to send to Paris for this fantastic event Mathyld has organized and then there is my very big "still secret" project. I might be able to reveal that as soon as the announcements have been prepared.
Magical installation you've created, my friend ... I'm so thankful that you share its evolution with us all. Huge thanks for that, it makes me daydreaming & I love that !
Now ... if only I had been travelling to Paris the days Mathyld had the private sales .... aaargh. Bad timing for me ! :( I wish her, you & all the sellers a super sale, and lots of fun to those you'll make it there. (lucky Parisian !)
Now I really really really can't wait to know what your big project is, I'm so very excited. oxoxox have a wonderful weekend in Jack's magical & ephemeral wonderland.

Eeep ! I loved that lace window, and the fact that Winter came by surprise ...
It is still so warm, here ... I can't wait for real cold, crisp days !
I am so excited today, as Jersey delivers the best "parcel" ever to Paris ! Team Lisa arrives !
And thank you so much for being part of my project, it's been in my heart for so long before it came to life ! And for offering us such a wonderful exposure.
And last but not least, I can't wait to see what you'll surprise us with. 'cause if there's someone that is more creative and surprising than Mr Winter ... That has to be you, Margie !

Wish a cosy hibernation to your hidden covered stones and laces. It will be so exciting to meet them again, they'll have so much to tell !!!
Wish also good luck to Mathyld for her promising "Marché de Noël" ! That sounds great, lucky parisians indeed, as Sonia said !
Wish you a delightful white week-end, Margie ! Hugs and thanks to Jack for the stunning pictures he offered you ...
