Spring Clean-up


I sorted and folded all my rusted


and natural dyed cloth


Lovely gentle colours.


Then a surprise
Three leaves printed side by side in the same dye bath
yes three completely different colours.


Are you like me?
I never get to finish a spring clean-up
A colour or a stitch or a scrap
always calls to me
and off I go in search of other bits and pieces that might help give it a voice!

    Oh yes, defintely, that's me too! If I was to follow all the little byways that beckon me off the path of clearing out, I'd never surface to do anything!

    I am easily distracted as well when I put my hands into my stash and my experiments, and this has nothing to do with getting older and not remembering what I am supposed to do!
