"Twilight Sea"
"Song of Sea & Sky"
A sea stitching did happen, with thanks to ThreadCrumbs, Deb, and Tina for sharing their dyeing expertise in the moon, threads, and cloth. It was nice to do a series, exploring a few wave ideas, and peacefully stitch thoughts of the ocean. They happened after Moon was delivered to college and K went to visit family for a few days.
Alone for the first time in a month! It was swell. I did miss him in the evenings, but the days... I got so much done, including fall cleaning (which is when I get the urge, rather than spring). The timer was set for 45 minutes of stitching, then 15 for cleaning. It worked wonders. The kitchen counter was completely cleared, weeded, and rearranged. The flour and sugar canisters are now at the other end of the kitchen, shocking but true. Isn't it funny how things get set up and rarely change? The bathroom was scrubbed, boxes were emptied, the studio room floor was found under piles, boxes, baskets, and books that were put away. A carload went to donations, and a few bags of art supplies were taken to the local elementary school. K says that he should go away more often. I said, no, just back to work. (Both of our fingers are crossed that it will be next week.)
"Spell Gathering"
This piece and I went round and round. It was ripped apart twice before we came to an understanding. I wasn't listening.
Yesterday was the first day cool enough for wool socks. I love autumn.
