...a beautiful snow but so much of it. there is no path today. and my mood fell right into that. discouraged by even trying to shovel, i lost my way in every way when the sun came up and the cold did not diminish. the dangerously heavy load of snow on the roof felt like it was on my shoulders. i drank coffee. nothing. i sat down to stitch. nothing. i went to post. nothing.
...i decided to sit with a pile of scraps. just handle them, find something. i found this. i dipped it in my coffee.
i used to have a bit more of this. an old cotton jacquard with a print. i always liked it so much. it reminds me of tracks, a path, and the print is a bit like a stitch. it is simple and quiet but it seems to be going somewhere. it is just a nice design. it is light. a wisp of something.
yet... it has given me a way through this mood. it seems perfectly at home in the snow. a scrap can be a path. what if i take it?
