Sometimes a leaf

a ‘found’ roof

Sometimes a leaf turns into a roof.

And pajamas become windows.

And blanket stitches form wonky shutters.

That gauze has become a moon.

And the squiggly, indigo-dipped print on the bottom echoes the paths stitched on the ‘Red Sky Houses’ quilt.

paths-in-progressOverheard on TV this morning: “The big boomers of last night have headed out to sea.”

It is supposed to be in the nineties today and though a 17-pound weight loss for the year (like how I slipped that in?!!) makes the prospect of wearing shorts a little more appealing than it might otherwise be, I’m bracing myself.

    oh what a lovely piece, I adore it Dee; amazing how things are transformed by your hands

    17 pounds, what’s that in kilograms? anyway sounds a lot and slipping comfortably into shorts is nice, way too cold here

    thank you Cynthia! I’ll have to head over and read the ‘buckwheat tales’!

    Saskia, my son tells me that 17 lbs equals 7.7 kilograms. Are you impressed now?!! Ha. Truly, I am proud of myself.
