"Hope"
The days whirl by.
A friend and I headed over the pass. What a surprise to see snow. My head hasn't caught up with the season.
The other side, central Washington, the Columbia River.
I love this river. Growing up, we drove an hour's ride along the Gorge where it divides Oregon and Washington every month or two. Sometimes stopping at Bonneville Dam, the fish hatchery, and/or Multnomah Falls, eventually, crossing the Bridge of the Gods to the Washington side, to visit our dear Great Aunt Peggy, the entire family's favorite relative.
"Sea Songs"
Stitching as much as I can... because it fills me in many ways.
There was a bunch of tiring time spent with screens and words the last couple of weeks- figuring out shop things. Business thinking is NOT my cup of tea, it sucks energy and civilized behavior out of me (ask K.). All I want to do is stitch, but I suppose it's good to stretch my brain with unfamiliar thinking. Of course, I have spent much more time and energy avoiding some of these things over the last months than the actual deciding and dealing with actually took. Fingers crossed that all the ducks, cows and hedgehogs are in a row now.
"Ayana"
(These pieces and a few others will be in the shop tomorrow, November 12th.)
