Starting Small


I have a few designs emerging slowly from needle and thread on wool and stone. This Crewel Stone, for my friend Jackie at Smoothpebble, stitches the rich harvest of late summer and early autumn. It is golden; sun made manifest.


Happy birthday, Jackie.


I know that most of you have endless amounts of self-love and self-confidence, and you never wake up without them. However, for those of you who have moments, like me, when that reservoir of inner acceptance is running low, fill it up by reading this grace-filled post of Jackie's.


And a happy September to all of you.

This is gorgeous Pat. I love the lacy feel to it.
I will visit that link. I think everyone needs a reservoir top up once in a while, you're not alone there. I will check out Jackie's post, thanks for the link.
I hope things are going relatively smoothly for you and the children are settling in. Jx
