Shades of Grey
A stack of beautiful grey swatches. Some ideas that have already been explored in depth, others that I'm itching to really dig my teeth into. A pile of beautiful greys (and a touch of pink!) These colours were sitting together in my bin and I had to play with them. Show More Summary

a little white, a little red
This morning a little more white, a little red. Later, on a wall somewhere, a little more of the same. I have turned the comments off as I transition into a new season of talking to myself.
Sparkle No. 2
This is Sparkle No. 2 quilt for my charity bee Do.Good.Stitches. If you missed Sparkle No. 1, it’s over here. We are donating quilts to Restore Innocence, a much needed organization that rescues girls from human trafficking. This one is my favorite version. I am a huge lover of lime green. The backing fabric is [...]
Into it
And so winter hangs on. Yesterday, a dusting. Just a little. Just enough to lighten the day. He snapped this, late last night. Me. Leaning into the computer screen, where I had been all day, getting folks settled into the...
Chris' Casuals
Pattern: Business Casual Socks by me! Yarn: TFA Blue Label Fingering Weight Yarn in Lucky Penny. Ravelry Project page here. I've finished knitting my Business Casual socks! They are terrific. I would go on and on about how much I love this pattern, but since it's my own, that would probably be a little bit tacky. Show More Summary
The return of the lions
March came in like a lion. Then it seemed like spring, but it is still very much winter. Snowed again today. Winter has been a bit of a beast this year. I am just looking back over the lion quilt....
Coming and Going
I have named him Tang. He may just stop by but what if that's ok. He stops by a lot. He likes cantaloupe. And so do we. This circling ceremony is quite soothing. A kind of measuring. Holding. And then...

Three moments in Winter
And Story. Mom was feeling better yesterday. She still has her better days. Better is a nice gentle word. Better than Good. It implies flexibility. Redefinition. Slow transformation. Sympathetic change. At least that's how I feel about it. Today. At...
Another day
The weaving across this moon, which is part of my weaving across moons obsession, is IN the cloth itself. I did the weaving OF the cloth. And this is quite a wonderful feeling. Weaving the cloth that you make cloth...
Puff Daddy
I found the perfect chair for the nursery. It is a shape and style that I love, has wood tones that coordinate with the dresser I have for the room, it rocks and it swivels, its exactly what I wanted! Oh, and it was $35 purchased at a second hand store. Show More Summary
Not lost in space is what I called it this morning
Looking again now. From a distance, up close. And maybe with my eyes closed. This one has enough eyes to see for me in case I need a rest.
Life and death in black and white
Back in the early days, my style was a bit more direct. I'm thinking about that today. On Doodle Wednesday.
Stitching rest
I stitched to correct the curve because it felt good to create something more familar. I rest in the familar these days. It balances all the new stuff.
In some way knowing
I like this little wooden dragon figure. How I can place it on the edge of anything really. And how it's slithering form tells me a story of the edge of something. Moving as if to trace the shape of...
