Sleeping Circles

Curling up into circles after a long walk

is a good thing to do

 Fixing a puppy bed circle

They take great delight in ripping out the stuffing

Fixing it was an hour I'll never get back!

Duct tape next time?

I reckon puppies would win over mighty duct tape!

Sometimes we prefer a semi-circle

I've found snippets of time to work on my beaver dam spiral

Working out how to best express the feeling of

water flowing through it.

Before I decide there will be some unpicking I expect

Always part of my process

Blending into autumn's woodland

Sniffing early morning smells

Not a circle

Nor a semi-circle

Just a bend in the road

The Solomon's Seal looking very yellow on a misty misty morning

 Leading the way back home

along an avenue of brambles.

Happy Thanksgiving to too of us in Canada.

We have so much to be grateful for

One generous person unknown to me

has been mowing the top of the dyke all summer long

Thank you for that.

It has made walking so much easier!

Icy Inspiration

We found a dead tree captured mid-stream

by rings of ice.

and another imprisoned for the winter months.

Frozen reflections

The winters are harsh up here in the North....

....but beautiful

The frozen lines in every corner of the woods

each had their own personality

Nature's lines full of stitch potential.

Another Gathering of Holes

Watery holes with a different approach.

I commandeered some blanket stitch and ordered it to whirl around a circle.

Only when the stitching was done did I take scissors in hand 

and boldly cut the holes. 

The story of this cloth is slowly forming in my mind.

It is a watery piece with a sandbank strip of rusted cloth

appearing and disappearing beneath holes

and gaps in the watery fabric. 

Pebbly Circles

It was so very cold on the beach...
too cold to fiddle with cameras.
So I brought home the pebbles that caught my eye.

Some pebbles grow into circles....

some wrap themselves in circles..

and others decorate themselves with circle designs.

Perhaps they are all shouting "pick me"!
