Imagine if it was possible to actually use every last scrap here, how big a cloth would it be? How tiny my scraps of self are becoming. Enough for lunch, everyday for a while now. One way or another, I will attempt to use most of what is here in terms of piles of cloth. It amazes me that I mostly did not buy any of it. It is amazing how things can be given new life. Sometimes by just […]

I can say we got enough rain. It is cool and damp and these are new to me. New is good at the moment, I have slipped into a strange kind of boredom.

Maybe just a nine patch. And then, I pressed them to a big cloth, Heal, just to look at them. You know how cloth sticks to cloth sometimes, like a felt board. I liked them there and now they are pinned. Because they started to fall […]

So Sorry for the interruption here, this site had some issues and I needed to spend some time correcting some old information, fixing links and considering changes for the future. I think I fixed most things that required me to go into maintenance mode. Still some other stuff I need to address. I am stepping back from posting for a while as well as wandering the web. I check my email once a day and just need to distance myself […]
