better with age

By Deb G • Mar 8th, 2010

Or maybe just different? Looking down… the skeleton of magnolia leaves. The outer layer of the magnolia blossoms, so soft. One of last year’s prayer flags. I printed images onto t-shirt transfer paper and then ironed the images on to…



knit one, garden too

By Deb G • Mar 7th, 2010

I’m glad there is a wonderful selection of magnolias in my local park. No room in my garden for these beauties: Mostly cooked, spun and knit today. I’ve been working on stripes for my knit nine patch pillow. A couple…



garden planning

By Deb G • Mar 6th, 2010

Started with a little spinning ’cause it’s good thinking time. I was dreaming about dye plants…until Hazel stole my seat. So I moved on to cleaning the refrigerator, the freezer and my cupboards. Not quite as odd a place to…



a little voice

By Deb G • Mar 5th, 2010

They know where they are going. I heard them on the way to work this morning and looked up. I have a little voice whispering in my ear, don’t stop now … go further (more stitching?). and further… (another row?)…



direction for March, down

By Deb G • Mar 4th, 2010

The moon going down beneath the horizon. I like that I walked between the sun rising and the moon going down this morning. It’s been a quiet week in my world. I did pull the roving out of my eucalyptus…

full moon in the clouds

By Deb G • Feb 28th, 2010

The lenten moon, the last full moon of winter. Playing with layers a bit. Moon and lenten rose.



collecting color

By Deb G • Feb 27th, 2010

Looks like something from the murky depths. Wool roving and eucalyptus. The house smelled…strongly. Swatch of the day. The gray in the white section is where the wool in one of my hand knit socks was felting. I pulled it…



knit a nine square

By Deb G • Feb 26th, 2010

My goal today was to finish something I’d already started. Instead I started and finished a little something: A nine square. Carded, spun, knit and crocheted. A little closer look. The square is made of three knit strips. The blue…



under the almost full moon

By Deb G • Feb 25th, 2010

This may be as close to seeing the full moon as I’m going to get if the weather report is right. 90% full tonight. Sometimes just to see what comes up, I put words like “moon” in the search engine…
