COMFORT CLOTH / "DARK DAYS", PROGRESS, et al

 

I couched a pin/lavender sari silk
ribbon in a circle on my 
Comfort Cloth this week--
and
then
I did  a running stitch surround
on the outer rim...

and
This morning I whipped that running stitch
and added an inner running stitch on the 
inside of the circle
and added a 
whipstitched wool/felt
heart...

[Here you can also see the whipped
outer running stitch better...
I love how it thickens that simple
running stitch line]
💗💜💗
I will be adding more stitchery to this first
block, but I am not sure what I want to 
add as yet...

This January block (18" +/-) 
can be added to:-- as ideas/
emotions/feelings/happenings
occur to me...

It is meant to be a 
"cloth of comfort "
to turn to 
during these
tumultuous, difficult
times....
A slow-stitched
journal of sorts....

***********************
This noon I will be putting together
my chicken soup from the leftover
chicken dinner we enjoyed
last Thursday; 
meanwhile,
we have each had another total
meal and also 
sandwiches from it.

 There is just
enough left for a good,
warming soup for our
supper tonight...

Soup is so good on these
cold, gray days...;)))
😍😋😍
