last evening, i sat in the gathering dusk and watched
the barn swallows swoop and listened to
their twittering.
the shy bluebirds, brilliant goldfinches, saucy robins,
haunting owls and fabulous crows
are my constant companions
up here on the hill.
it seems quite fitting to have their company
for a sashiko project.
the mental quiet of this simple stitching
allows the brain to both settle and wander.
may you have space in your weekend to
settle and wander.
I am knitting a 'mindless' shawl, while waiting for the mailman with 2 packages with embellish threads to finish another project. So this weekend for me enough time to settle and wander..
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely scene you've painted, Karen.
ReplyDeleteYour stitchery looks wonderful - I love hand sewing.
We're enjoying a quiet weekend after Bill's last trip to China and before his next one!
I will potter quietly in the garden and hope to settle.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend.

Hand sewing: perfect meditation. Thank you for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteI shared some sitting & watching time out our cottage window this weekend: 2 pelicans drifting & a sandhill crane pair with their baby. Nature is such a balm.
