Star Dreams and new work


So I spent the evening dreaming of stars and stitching new things.
It has a calming effect on me. My body is still sore and my thoughts
still tangled but I am working in the right direction I think.


I have pushed too hard and expected too much
and now it's time let go of the expectations, take some time to just sit,
relax and enjoy the cloth and the thread.


I like these two pieces. They both speak to me, and that's what I want.


I don't like when my work is silent, This is driving me crazy and
I often have thoughts of tearing it to pieces.


Parts of it I love, others I hate. It seems so garish to me right now.
I have left it on the board until it speaks to me again.
