I would love for you to join me (a retired senior)in my zany crafting adventures with quilting (waaaaay too much fabric); scrapbooking (will I ever catch up?); redwork; counted cross stitch; crossword puzzles; reading; and cooking.

JANUARY "SNOW" JOURNAL, et al

 

Here are the next two and final
pages for my little fabric booklet
for January following
Roxy's Journal of Stitchery Volume #9:

My chosen book was 
"Snow" by John Banville--
and since we have always lived
by the sea.....

The following two pages are 
subtitled:
"Winter by the Sea..."

and

I am still using the leftover
blue silk from the dress my Mom
made for me to represent 
 the ocean waves....

I made a couple little sea creatures--
a pretend crab with the two beady
eyes (L)
 and a little sea horse...

and below...
some underwater flora...

I also ringed the moon with some gold thread...
I used this piece of hand dyed fabric 
leftover from "Dark Days"
and the lacey bit to show the floating moon..

**********************************
Next, I will  sew the pages together
back to back and then into 
the little booklet...
making some hand stamped
titles to go along with
my pages...

*****************************
We are awaiting the incoming 
cold front/stormy weather
that is coming overnight...
Definitely 
"Puffy coat" weather here...
