.....the sun returned this morning, shining right through the cobwebs that have gathered on the window's edge during the last couple of months. the long grey streak had me scrambling to create color and light.
.....it may have been coincidence but my little stitched sun dance ceremony yesterday seems to have worked some magic.
.....i had decided to make this one into a pillow because pillows are just such a symbol of comfort to me lately... i suppose the obvious comfort of something to hug and lean on but also the comfort that comes from making something useful and also the once in a while comfort of finishing something that takes a bit less time. i sewed the crazy wool piece to an existing pillow cover to make it even easier and then added some childhood memory of the sun in the corner of the page. a simple wish for a transition from dark to light.
WAS is much more comfortable these days...she has come out of the shadows and has curled up nose to toes in her favorite sunny spot.
someone said to me yesterday... "i think winter is a state of mind".....so today i have decided to make it spring.
