an opening sky

A return to self, via a different path.

Like the sky has opened.

Some of you will understand what this means, and what it means to me.

There is a stitched stone on my table, and in my shop.

There is gratitude in my heart.

a late night stone

Last night I found myself needing some serious stitching time.  I needed to clear my head and "check out" for a little bit so I sat at the kitchen table in the dark with my trusty old gooseneck lamp and worked until way past my bedtime.

A mound of french knots and tiny glass beads surround a cluster of coral.  Edges creep outward, growing, reaching new ground.

I'll put this in my shop this morning.  

Right after I have another cup of strong tea, to help keep me upright.

Happy Saturday, everyone!

little stitchy 'bobs are here!

The other day I gave you a little peek at the Kit Lane pieces I collaborated on.  Well here they are!  They look a little shocked at what has happened to them, don't they?

They'll be headed to her shop sometime today

 but you can also see some other pics on her flickr page.

Psst...that little guy on the right, the sparkly white one, has a secret...

Hope you all have a great start to your week.

Happy Monday.
