keeping things in bags.





used to keep the floss in an old index file box. before that, a big orange bowl my brother used to eat cereal from when we were young.



couldn't tote them with me from vegas, so now they're in a bag.



(small muslin bag is for my pin cushion)

point of view

after deciding to add a moon to this foundation, i thought of jude's post and developing a thought.



and taking steps away from it. it didn't have any meaning to add a moon. i just wanted to. after i got into the stitching i realized that it could mean a certain thing. a lot of certain things.



thinking of st. therese of lisieux the night before and niece brought me a gift of this beautiful sweet smelling creamy colored rose yesterday afternoon.

re peat

looks like it, only a different part.



continuing the process (from yesterday). blues brown sky earth ground. rearranging the thinking. transforming to see the reality of a situation.



this moth (herpetogramma?) has fluttered in around and out of the window screen since mid-morning.

pink soothed

i pinned this together last night. wasn't sure if it was going to stick.



after a heated argument earlier this morning, i strongly needed to put some stitches in this. she talked me down.
