Rumpelstiltskin
There’s a magic feeling about…
pretty colored string.
a pile of it…
a spool of it…
or a carton of it.
Doesn’t really matter because it’s always the same with ambitious stuff like string.
It wants to do more than sit on the shelf or on the spool or in the box.
It wants to BE something…
or a lot of somethings.
Either way—I like to believe it’s the wish of all miller’s straw…
to be spun into gold.
The Sailor and the Flapper…
For the past few days–it’s been a bit rainy out. Which means that I have no earthly choice…
I have to play with cotton and yarn and crochet hooks.
Cardinal Red Flapper
Feels so perfect to sit somewhere soft and warm…or cool…and let the yarn and hook just go where they want to go.
White Brimmed Sailor
Here’s where we ended up. Tell me what you think…
because it’s still raining.
Cotton Love
One of my very favorite things…a mystery package, on the porch!
I have one child that gets goose bumps when she walks up the office supply aisle in Staples. Pens, notebooks, paper clips just really work for her.
Then I have this other daughter that gets lightheaded over…dancing shoes. Ballet, ballroom, character or Latin. Doesn’t matter what kind–she’s got them.
I have another child that would walk to the mall, barefoot, in a blizzard for a sale at Archiver’s. Scrapbook supplies, stickers and grommets make her very, very happy.
Well let me show you what does it for me…
Look at those perfect colors! Just imagining all the places this thread will go and what it will become in it’s second life. What beloved little soul will wear it or play with it and in what way?
Ahhhh…the potential for 100% cotton joy is staggering indeed. Better get a move on…
