Gathering linen
In the moments between visitors, phone calls and household chores, I sorted, washed, and ironed some odds and ends of indigo dyed linen fabric.
These are some of the leftovers from experiments and bits of fabrics I dyed and put away thinking I might use them in the future. They add up quickly.

None of these are "perfect", but they're still pretty good.
Id like to be able to mimic these patterns!

June morning
It's so fine to step outside barefoot,without a sweater, and get started right away. On most mornings,this means just wandering around in wonder and amazement.for awhile.
The backyard is not big, but the cherry tree doesn't seem to mind.
The blackbirds and squirrels .are ready to pounce!
