This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

This Is Nuts!
Day 100: I've done over two dozen pages in the "Enchanted Forest" colouring book I was given by a friend, and when I came to this particular page, I expected it to be rather boring when compared to trees and flowers and hidden critters. I was in for a pleasant surprise. As I began the first acorn, I realized that simply filling in the spaces with colour was uninspired, so I decided to try shading. My first attempt was less than stellar, but with each subsequent nut, I felt I was improving. I completed each one individually to avoid repetition. Now I'd have to say that this has been one of my favourite pages, and I still have the leaves to finish!
