a great wind is blowing

 and that gives you either imagination, or a headache.

a loooong time ago, i bought a weather vane ... not an ordinary weather vane with a rooster or a pig pointing in the direction of the wind ... my weather vane is a dragon ... a copper dragon

i had and have no place to actually put my weather vane ... the gazebo i was going to build, complete with a cupola on the top, and my weather vane on top of the cupola, has been eaten several times by the Economy and Poor Choices ... and so my copper dragon is packed away in a box in the garage ... but when i started stitching Over the River's embroidery, Opportunity knocked...
north by northwest
and i actually opened the door before it went away ... this is the pattern's original weather vane...
what IS that?!? 
 i think my dragon is waaaaay cooler ... maybe tonight i will finish stitching the barn - that door is getting lonely...

Weather forecast for tonight: dark. Continued dark overnight, with widely scattered light by morning.

  1. Adore your dragon weathervane! I love your idea of personalizing your stitchery. HPV (not the disease) doesn't need much personalizing for me being spooky with cats everywhere but for my next project (whenever that is...), I will be inspired by you to add some "me stuff" in there.
