Handsewn patches made while watching World Cup Soccer. This was going to be something else (?) and then decided to be a little cow and I am quite enchanted with him or her.
The old cloth in the bordering squares is very soft and fragile--the center commercial batik. I had started, as I said, with a different end result in mind. Now--I wish the center was of the same fragility as the borders. Would be a delightful baby quilt. Perhaps just a fragment, framed for a baby? With a blue binding?
Denmark and France are playing soccer right now--World Cup. It just seems like summer when I have World Cup to watch. Like "medicine" to keep me out of the deep end of being depressed. It happens and I have to find ways to move myself out of the path. With me depression is most often sleeping. So not self destructive. The preamble to depression is often reading too much. Another way to avoid "life". So, soccer.
My garden boxes are still in good shape. G has built a fence around the bed with the Joe Eye Weed. Like a fence after the wold has gotten in to the chicken yard. Joe Pye Weed is reported to be deer resistant. They aren't supposed to like eating it. Hilarious.

Love your little cow!
Thank you Annie!
That little cow is precious! And, why don't deer like weeds? That would be so helpful.
Because Deer are contrary. They walk past acres of fresh green leaves and come to eat my perennials.
And I checked-- they aren't supposed to like Joe Pyeweed. Or Peach trees. Or Petunias. But they do love Hosta.
