I did a little fabric weaving to add to my Spring quilt.

I am calling this piece the "Bird Weaving"....

It is going next to the butterfly piece. 

I used India Ink to write the words from the Emily Dickinson

poem
called "Hope"
for you who do not know the poem:

this is the piece of the poem I wrote on the cloth.....

"Hope" is the thing with feathers~

That perches in the soul~

And sings the tune without the words~

And never stops~at all~

I came across this embroidery artist work and found it sooo inspirational:

the "butterfly effect"

I am stitching this gifted butterfly quilt piece to a new piece of soft green fabric in celebration of Spring/Summer.

I cut it out from it's original piece of fabric because I wanted it to go with a Spring quilt I am working on.

I started it last year. More to come....

The Butterfly Effect - From Quantum Physics "...our thoughts (like Butterfly wings) create movement, and this movement, this energy, ripples through existence and affects all of existence.

Everything we do and think affects not only our selves, but everyone and everything around us and beyond.

cayenne pepper

I was at the local health food store and they had local farmers

sharing their plants for a small fee. I bought this cayenne pepper plant

useful for so many healing things, but good for salads too!

I also bought lovage, a celery like herb. It was explained to me

that it would grow longer than celery??? We will see.

lastly, I bought some basil, and paprika along with some seeds.

Hopefully I will have better luck this year.
