how utterly absurd

Bill Withers in the background, as I was listening to Nancy's video in her latest post,  this Blue Tit fluttered onto the window sill right in front of me, pecking at seeds, I tried to capture it on camera without scaring it off by sudden movements on my part, hence the poor quality, resulting however in sheer joy

inspired by a sudden longing for lightness

my mantra

an old piece I found at the bottom of a basket when looking for stuff to fill out the prayer flag, hidden beneath the flap....

how utterly appropriate

The prayer flag was half in tatters and I had been considering doing something about it on and off for some time now.

After reading Mo's post 'love is the answer' showing Marti's cloth-love-message, I resolved to restore the prayer flag flapping in our front garden; I took it down, threw it into the washing machine, hung it out to dry, tore off the snippets of almost nothingness and embarked on my  mission of restoration! I managed to salvage a green and a yellow flag from the original, sewing thin cotton onto the backs, rows of thread stitched up & down making them whole again.

First new one done and then partly undone [sigh] was the 'Everything is Connected' star cloth. Then I went rummaging for bits to match and noticed Maria's linen dyed square draped around one of my press handles, great I was on a roll here. The 2 Happy Birds lino-print, the start of a cloth never even truly begun, a small white journey, quite unfinished; several strips of lovely fabric dangling over my worktop, now sewn together with a purpose, an old woven piece from one of Jude's classes, a dye experiment....

there, all done!
