Meditative Stitches

No patterns or rules...

just stitches...

and texture...

and me.

Stitching

Stitching here and there.

These will go into the quilt I've been working on.

Ribbons and Rust

After the beautiful weekend we just had, I feel motivated to spruce things up a bit around here.

The porch was the logical place to start since it was warm outside today and I'd rather be out than in. I put away the antique skis and the vintage skates and sled. In their place is an egg basket all tied up with ribbon...

and some rusty old tins and wire baskets...

 some sunny yellow pales....

and a cotton quilt that is buttercup yellow with sky blue stitching.

It covers the bench where I sit.

In a old wooden bucket are some twisted willow branches.

Now it's all spruced up and I can have my coffee out there tomorrow morning and listen to the birds sing.

Have you spruced up your porch yet for Spring?

Acorns, Pears & Pods

Just in case you're wondering, I haven't given up on my thread therapy.

I'm still crocheting almost every evening, just haven't taken time out lately to photograph the results.

Here are a few of my most recent projects.

ACORNS

The caps are made of jute and the bottoms are cotton.

PEARS

The pears are made of cotton.

POD

The pod container was crocheted with wool and then felted.

The beautiful quilt was a $15.00 thrifted find.

Thanks for stopping by.
