Scratched This Week


We started the week with Thanksgiving
followed by two days of just trying stitches
Then a windy, windy day



and the herons were back at the pond.



The coyotes were howling not far away
on our early morning walk.
The RP's and I walked a bit faster back along the dike than usual!


We lit the first fire of the season.
It's wet and windy
The leaves are falling
so I played with leaves.


Leaves of every colour are falling to the ground


Some are salmon in colour


but none are striped like this!
That's the trouble with variegated threads I find.


Sometimes it is the dullest that I like the most.

  1. Lovely scratchings! I too am drawn to the muted colors - subdued and mixed so that I really have to look to realize their beauty.

  2. Those herons are lovely - a real demonstration of how the simplest of lines can come to life!
