Tall Flowers Update

This is a psuedo-update. I took this picture yesterday, in the daylight, and on my bus ride today I put the first flower on a stem. So this isn't really an accurate representation any longer. Sigh. Winter bites with all its bad lighting.

I do love the colors, though. They are so happy, with any luck they can get me through the dreariness of winter.

That said, I think it's about time to switch over to stitching the Tree of Life Window so I can get some time on that before the end of the month. Am I already talking about the end of the month? Why can't time slow down like it used to when I was a kid waiting for a big event, like Christmas or my birthday? Can I get some of that time back?

Melissa wanted to know what colors I am using on the marquoir. The answer is black and DMC 921, a sort of pumpkin color that matches the paint job in my dining room. Yup, just regular ol' DMC.

Anna, I really love this project. Perfect for banishing winter blues & blahs.

And if you figure out how to recapture that time, or the ability to make it stand still, from childhood please share the secret!! I feel like my life's been put on fast forward.

Time is a mystery. When I think about my oldest daughter turning 21 in October ... well, I just shudder.

i think I stopped the "anticipation' game. I don't 'look forward' to events like I used to. That way, I don't have the 'let down'. I plan things without the 'fuss' & live more in the moment.

It is just easier for me. Remember, I'm a fossil!!!

Love the colors in Tall Flowers...I especially like the effect of the squares down at the bottom. Very nice.
