Looking Backwards and a New Beginning

The doormouse and I thought we would look back
over February's scratchings
before we got too entrenched in March.
Boy how time flies!

February started with that line of double blanket stitch.

Way back in January I remember saying I didn't want this to be a journal

but just scratchings for each day.

Things change

More recently the stitches have been attempting to record

the events of the day.

Things will change again

well certainly the fabric will change because I've filled this first strip.

Meanwhile on the design wall I'm playing with
rusted indigo
natural dyes
and the remains of my wedding dress.
The intent was for a blue watery piece
but not being a blue person
it wasn't long before the water turned into a trickle
surrounded by muddy banks.
