The Little Sampler Book

I have been quietly stitching..

when I have not been watering..

the yard and the plants..

We are in an epic dry spell..

this should be the rainy season..

which is often a pox in itself..

but lack of water means that our tall forests run the risk of fire..

So I hand water what I can since we have severe water restrictions...

I think I could fill the other tiny French Journals 

with these meditative stitches..

and I just might do that..

I love gathering unruly bits of hand dyed cloths and 

stitching them together..

when I listen gently..

they tell me which pieces go together..

like little playmates

drawn to one another..

So I stitch and think of rain..

and puddles..

and the garden flooding beautifully..

Now I have a place for them..

I will have to dream of a new body of work to

put them all to work..

Please take good care of yourselves..

We are home together..

wearing masks when we gather food..

and taking no chances..

I wish you all a healthy and happy week..

Ciao, Ciao!
