A week of storms and the return of cold
but the forsythia still shines brightly in her yellowness
Loose Threads had a day together
And the pheasant strutted through the garden.
Daily scratchings are now about 8 feet long
Long enough to climb up a mighty rock...
...ramble across crusty lichen...
...and make its way...
...down the other side.
I just thought...
if its 8 feet now...
it will be 24 feet by the end of the year.
Woops.
Perhaps I should make 3 sections that button together!
These are really beautiful. How lovely they look in amongst nature - truly organic.
ReplyDelete...or make it into a set of long cushions to put on some very large sofas! :-)
DeleteFun to see the length, Penny, laid out in its inspiration. -sus

ReplyDeleteHey, Yvonne, I like that "trail of memories"...I might steal it!
DeleteWhat a wonderful stitch diary! I love the idea and the results look perfect outside enjoying the natural world.
ReplyDeleteI fought a cold, cold wind every minute of that photo shoot!
DeletePenny, this is WONDERFUL! Thanks so much fir sharing all of it. It is so impressive when it is ALL there.
ReplyDeleteLife unfurling!
DeleteIt's looking great already, but yes, maybe sections would help. It rather depends on what you are planning to do with it..
ReplyDeleteYes, but I really don't plan that far ahead!
DeleteAhhhh, Penny every time I visit here, I see your daily stitched scratchings grow .... I really enjoy it, every time !
ReplyDeleteSuch an amazing journey! I like the long scroll of days that it is :)
ReplyDeleteeven not yet the longest day....
ReplyDeletelove you!
8 feet.. that's a lot of days... Imagine how long our lives would be if we measured them in minutes instead of years.
ReplyDeletei somehow managed to miss that you were actually doing *daily* scratchings and this was to go on for a year! wonderful! every time i see a new post on your daily scratchings, i find myself in a state of wonder and joy. thank you so much for including us in this magical journey!
ReplyDeleteutterly MARVELOUS, Penny!
ReplyDelete24 feet sounds like an amazing piece. as i think of this piece growing and mapping your days, i get happy!
