Daily Notes- January 27


Whenever a fabric piece isn't working--all the time---I just stick a black felt crow on it and everything is so much better.  The background is from a piece I overworked to Death and then cut into chunks.  This is one of the better chunks.  You can see the thread work and layering.  The blue is just a piece of cloth loose on the backside.  All held together the way a felt board holds things to the surface--press and hope it stays put.

This particular piece has been pinned to the wall directly across from where I eat breakfast, pay the bills, read the newspaper etc.  Across from everything I do.  And I find my eyes wandering to it all the Time.

On a recent trip to the Magic Attic I found a handful of more black felt crows--all with button eyes from a library project a few years back--and strange enough--never ran across them on other visits.  Multiple other visits.  That Magic Attic is so mysterious.

I am thinking I should just make a collection of these small - 4 by 6 inch -chunks and pieces, maybe even sew the crow to the surface....   Before Christmas I purchased more black felt for the little felt dogs------whoa! you haven't seen them have you???? Or the felt trees with buttons.

I am just going to make a list of all the things you haven't seen yet.

And Rocket Scientist that I am-- stop laughing!!--I figured out why G's new X iPhone won't do anything.  My phone. which is his former phone---was never wiped.  It's still thinks it is his phone and has all his stuff on it. Stuff I am slowly deleting --but we all know--delete doesn't actually mean anything is gone.  You just can't SEE it.  

Now--that is something to really think about.  Nothing is actually deleted.  You just can't see it.  Or touch it.  Or hear it.  Could that apply to life and death as well? Let's give that some thought. Perhaps that is how the Universe actually works.

Well, you could probably restore your husband's former phone (now yours) to original settings. But then you'd have to reinstall your email.

Wow, a crow to make anything better. That is amazing!
