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!

I absolutely adore this little book! You have inspired me to make some books again...to prepare for the gift giving season. Many thanks dear Cat.
Hi Cat, This is a beautiful book. I just love all you do. While on lockdown I have made your twig book with the leaves I collect when walking. Also your concertina and liltle fabric books. It's very sad to hear your country's problems. our government has done a wonderful job here plus the 5 million residence. We are now out of lockdown but our borders are only open to NZ residence returning who go into hotels for 3 weeks isolation until show completely clear.We are going into winter now and have also had water restrictions with very little rain Thank you for all videos. I am thinking of you .Luv Merilyn
