~ thoughtful




 




 
{wondering upon it, this ruffly rose.. .
how to finish it, what leaves to make.. .}
but for now,
goodnight!

~ roses {my heart is found in them}


beginning another rose on what is becoming a rose sampler  :)



 
already a couple of late night hours into it & still not sure if it will even work, i'd like to make some ruffles curl at the tip of the petal if i can figure out how? 


 
& a rose i built from t-shirt fabric, a length of vintage seam binding Mum got me in New York, velvet ribbon, silk organza & beaded French lace
 
 fragrance aswirl!
 
 
{& first stitches.. .with a blunt darning needle of course :)
 
 

~ colouring their world















with a growing collection of gentle Maileg mice, fairy wings & rocking chairs, tuning forks & bobby pins stuck to magnets in the dollhouse, making bracelets from buttons, decorating eggs, pushing prams, reading books, baking cupcakes, tending dolly's..  .{while little angels oversee}

all the loveliest of things!

~ this ample horizon

{that we climb}
 






evergreens are once again dotting the  snow-speckled mountains, & i try to climb towards them

{the gentle curves of an evening sky; a pale indication that beauty was brewing,}

~ the espescially resplendant.. .




a journal cover i am working on,





 
crocheted roses,



 
& a smocked clamshell {with silk barnacles & french knots}
 
sometimes in the things we do there is an element of the especially resplendant,
a fluttering warmth of vibrance,
that visits like loveliness
 
today i journey with stars in my pocket!
