A Farewell to 2016 Crumb - December 30 and 31


It's been quite a year hasn't it.


Perhaps as I stitched this one I was thinking
or trying to think of the blessings
rather than the negatives
of this very strange year.


My goodness
as I write this I realize it is already 2017 in Australia!
2016 is fading into history.

Thank you for supporting my writings about the work I do.
I am happy to share!
Just a reminder that if you post a comment
I respond via email
simply because that is the way I have set things up
and it works for me.

See you in 2017!

  3. Thanks for keeping me entertained, Penny! You're work is scrumptous, as usual! I may even steal a bit of your "crumb" idea in 2017. I'm thinking mixed media crumbs, with a combination of beads, found objects and stitch. I hope you don't mind! It came to mind, as I started the dig-out of my very messy spare room (aka stoodio). Thanks and have a very happy new year!!

  4. New fallen snow, with its hush and fresh clear air, is the perfect metaphor for a clean slate.

    Wishing you peace and happiness in the new year!

  6. I've talked to very few people who 'liked' 2016 -- and sad to say I'm not one of them. I'll be very glad to see its back. I wish for all of us a calmer, peaceful, thoughtful new year!!

  9. Your crumbs have fascinated me all year - each one so different and yet related. Hope 2017 is a happy, health, and love-filled one for all of us.

  12. You have inspired me from the first time I met you at the Fibre Arts Retreat. I even took on a challenge to create a small piece of hand work each day for a year. Loved seeing your crumbs and this last one is intriguing. Looking forward to what you come up with for 2017.

  13. Penny,
    May 2017 be blessed for you and your family. The white on white is soft and touching with a purity. I am inspired to create some cruciform pieces this year. Will let you know when I do so that I may give credit to you.
