A bit of slow cloth stitching....

Here is a little hand painted sunflower I did a while ago as part of a  larger cloth.  I cut this piece off to make a little needle book.

I've added some seed stitching to the front and ....

stitched some leaf veins on the back.

I rather like this so far.

WINTER be Gone.....

I am a wee bit  sick of clouds today.  While I love a good thunder storm - these lifeless clouds, suspended from the heavens  --  neither raining, nor snowing - are really begining to bore me.

I do believe I'm ready for Spring.  I walked about the yard today surveying the property - thinking about what I'm going to play and where I'm going to plant it.  I miss fresh herbs, juicy tomatoes and crispy peppers.  And I long for the sight of big, beautiful sunflowers. So I say, "Let the Sun Shine!"   Winter be GONE!
