Starting August in Scratches


That was the week


Don't ask me what Monday was all about!
Haven't a clue
Perhaps browns and greys because
dyeing has been on my mind


Wednesday
Handy Hubby and I were like 
ships that pass in the night
The only time we saw each other was
waving to each other from our cars.
Thursday was to honour
the abundance of echinacea
colouring the flowers beds in glorious yellows.


Friday 
I found inspiration in my kantha books.
Saturday
Stitches about all these Olympians coming together to compete.


Sunday
at the crack of dawn 
the Rusty Pups and I walked above the clouds
to the quarry
where we disturbed two large birds
Hawks I think.

  1. Golly I wish there was a place to walk near me that could take me above the clouds. I have been in the Blue Ridge Mountains and that was like being near Heaven. Hard to get that euforia in a cornfield ~lol~ especially now when they are barely shoulder high.

  3. Love your scratchings - not only for the stitching itself, which is wonderful, but they way your mind and eye capture a day's events (or even non-events). Its just so wonderful.
