Worn Out
She's been doing really well, she's has gained back all the weight she lost (plus a little) and has grown back a nice coating of fur. Her energy level is probably stronger than her muscles though so she gets really tired out after an active day.
I spent an hour on the ginkos tonight listening to Joseph Campbell.
I recently got myself a copy of The Power of Myth interviews with Bill Moyers
Its interesting to listen to it again after so long, I am discovering different insights than I did the first time 15-20 years ago (which makes perfect sense now doesn't it?)
now its off to bind some scarves...

A Second Begining
A Second Begining

I'm taking a deep breath and starting to attach the pieces of heatset poly satin to a ground. I froze on this project for mmm... about a year now, it is alot of stitching and I'm not entirely sure where its going to take me.
I've got a concept in my head, and I have some ginko leaves made from a pewter colored poly as well as this black satin. I even have a vague composition mapped out but I've been waiting for all the details to fall into place and lets face it they never do... you just have to leap in and hash it out as you go. Sometimes I am easy with that fact of life but others (as in this case) I get so attached to a desired end that it becomes impossible to go forward.
If you want to go swimming you don't necessarily have to leap into the deep end but you really do have to let go of the side of the pool.

This season is racing by. Already buds are forming on my peony and nearly all of the leaves have arrived.

Finished Earth Haori
Like I said this was supposed to be number two of four.
Fire Earth Air and Water.
I am not sure that I will ever get to the other two. I do know I won't be starting them any time soon. There are too many other things to do that are more important to me at the moment. I really enjoy dyeing the fabrics for these haori more than I enjoy sewing them...
Something to think about!
Now what will I start to do next? This is always a bit of a struggle to make a decision...
