in flight


flying keys

here and there and everywhere

Aiden said...

Look, up at the sky. There is a light, a beauty up there, that no shadow can touch.

tick tock

so many books ... so little time

Albert Einstein

 every hat needs a hat stand 
and every stitcher needs a strawberry pin cushion
there's a story behind the white raven ... maybe Melissa will share it
i could definitely use the french knot powder
 the pattern calls for piecing blocks and stitching over them

 after stitching Snow Pact, i knew that was not gonna happen EVER again

so i traced this out on one big piece of the pale poison green fabric 

and that left that big open space under the birdies

that was gonna be a problem...


just sayin' 

The best way to escape from a problem is to solve it.

stinky feet

 a 5 gallon jar emptied of toad warts

and a tin of waterproof foot powder

i dunno about this one...

it was a fun stitch, though

just sayin'

Thurgood Marshall
