~ eagles & such

 

a tree bent under the weight of the snow,

& forging forward, through it all!

~ this sparkling season!

 

.. .& the Glory upon which it shines!!!

 

billowing bundles of loveliness to you!!!

{& hearts.. . marvellously warm ones!!! <3 }

p.s & these brimmingly beautiful creations to make.. . i especially love this! {& this} :) .. .

&  one    more  thing to treasure!

& one more piece of gorgeousness  :)

~ "old Winter's Song"

 

~ stories within stories, joy within joy,

hushed landscapes filled with snowflakes

{the gift of Winter's Reverence}

{sending a little parcel of snowflakes to you today!}

~ feathering days with stardust

 

today i am aswirl with the beckoning of Autumn's wistful pining.. . {& the clamour of unfurling ideas.. .}outside my window, away in the distance, i see a yellow crested oak inside crimson singed vines {i am listening for their rustling whisper.. .while hoping to make some clay vessels, of the flowering variety :) }

this week i met two dear ladies with eyes that shone the colour of yesterday's smiles & such delicate, shining names {Vivia! & Orthelle!}

& thought that when i have daughters of my own i'd like to name them Meridian & Violet {& teach them the colour of dreams.. .but first, i would wrap them in kindness & give them the capacity to share it too}

& some words i am currently astir with:

ample

ambling

burgeoning

brimming

bemuse

billowing

bouyant

blithe

convivial

divulge

flourish

preserve

impetus

~ to pine ~

languishing

gently

afloat

 

sending a warm glow & a soft breeze to you!

~ a t-shirt mat {a rag rug}

after seeing these two lovely mats in progress,
i decided to join the adventure of making a rag rug.
i was able to get a few brushed cotton tshirts from the outlet stores for very little, & away i went,
cutting them in strips {one long continuous one really, with sort of t intersections at the edges}
winding them into balls

 

then stitching {crocheting} together 5 pieces to begin to plait

 

after stitching the small centre mat together, i hope to crochet a border with more shirts/pillowcases that i collect {i would also love to wind it very loosely onto a wet felting station & wetfelt the plaited threads into a beautiful woollen mat!...one day}

 

as it it, i stitched it together

 

& only did a border of one round of crochet {using my finger as the hook}

& i shall leave it as a sweet little mat until some more material appears

p.s if you google rag rug, there are lots of lovely youtube vids & pinterest tuts floating around!

lovely sailing to you today! {& thoughts & prayers for that great harbour, New York!!!}
