Finally closed the door to make the bed. 3 bottom sheets and 2 top
sheets. Muddy feet. oh my! I forgot how hard it is to raise a puppy
the size of a small horse. just can't please a person. Moan and groan that we don't have enough
daylight. Sunrise 7:47 am. Where is the sunshine? Now that the days
are getting longer (have you noticed?). My Lily gets up at dawn every
morning to clear the backyard of invisible monsters: then she comes
flying in freezing cold w/ muddy feet and pounces on the bed expecting
me to get up and clear the monsters out of the house w/ her. We were up
today at 7:30. Oh Joy! Can't wait until sunrise is at 5:05 a.m.
By 5000 BC fiber-producing plants: flax and hemp were domesticated from Iraq and Iran. by 3000BC spread to Syria ad the Egyptian Nile to Switzerland and Germany
Muddy Feet? Who Me?

The polar uses 62 thread colors and the rooster 32. I always thought three colors and your done. No wonder they always looked flat. Can't wait until I'm done. Have about two hours left on the roostr and days on the polar. Fact: the silk trade rode was 7,000 mile long.

Waiting for the New Year 2016
Ever since I started taking art classes last year I have been fascinated by fabric and art. In this stage of my life I love being a fiber artist. I almost have the rooster and polar bear done. I've learned I have to be fresh when working on them or I tend to do sloppy work. Now that the baby and t-shirt quilts are done I am concentrating on paper piecing. Never done that before but the wing of the eagle is gorgeous. Hope i have enough fabric: its a kit. Fact: humans were producing cloth from both linen and cotton 8000 years ago.
