Today I went to Hobby Lobby....a quick trip, thinking it would be quite a while before I visited it again. You just don't know these days. Among my other purchases, it seems a little bird flew into my basket and came home with me. So, tonight while trying to decide what to post, the bird caught my attention and made it's way onto my work table. I had already decided to use this gorgeous piece of fabric....a segment of a curtain I made years ago.
This watercolor painting, given to me in 1981 in Silver City, N.M. by my next door neighbor and artist, Arlene Foster, had been calling for my attention the last few days, so it became another element of my little 'scene.'
A small piece of knitting....intending to be a scarf of some kind was next. I love knitting a simple scarf....not much thinking involved and keeps your hands busy while your mind wanders, considering all kinds of things....while you "just breathe."
Notice the bird seems to have flown into the knitting needle basket, perhaps becoming interested in learning another thing or two about how humans might warm their nest. I love these needles...the longer ones are antique, the shorter ones new bamboo. I like knitting with wooden needles.
Well, seems the little bird flew away. Ready for an adventure somewhere else, I suppose.
So....the cold is coming....who knows if we will have snow as in the painting. Whatever happens, I will be under some quilts, perhaps knitting away...and watching for a little bird.
Have a warm and happy heart
