This is all that is left of the piece I was working on- months and months ago. The big black and brown half circle on the top is gone as are the pieces of cloth to either side of the dark blue linen in the center bottom. All this taking apart was done either during the first few months of Riley being sick or over the summer. I don't remember. In fact, when I found this yesterday, in the midst of clearing up the cutting station- I was surprised at how small it had gotten.
But then, my Life had gotten very small.
And it seems even smaller here in February. The busy-ness of the 30 days of Collage is over and I packed up all the papers etc and carried them up into the Attic. Now I just have the few scrap made squares or rectangles I hand sewed while Riley slept alongside or under my feet. I learned to stay in one place. Use just what was close by. A good lesson.
Now that moving about is okay.....I find I have too many choices. And with too many choices I find myself being picky. "Oh the pink is not the perfect pink for here". With Riley next to me, any pink was good enough. Just so I stayed with him so he could sleep. I need to get back to that. Just what is in the pile here next to me. Not getting up to bring more and more pinks to choose from.
Walked out to get the morning paper....the sidewalk and driveway are rutted with thick ice. Not smooth. Very bumpy. I wore my restaurant non slip Crocs instead of the ice trackers which tend to slide on smooth ice unless you stamp your feet really hard. And I made intentional steps. And I got to the street and back (a long walk) with the newspaper and was relieved not to have fallen down. This means no coffee dates until the sidewalks are clear and dry.
Valentines' Day is coming closer and I promised G I would make sugar cookies and cut them out with the only new cutter I found over months of looking- a very large heart shaped cutter. I'll make pink or white icing and load the cookies up with tons of multi colored sprinkles. And I think as Time goes by- I will use a glass to cut circle cookies. Or cut the dough into squares. Not worry about having a cute holiday shape. Just make cookies. Because G loves Cookies With Tons of Sprinkles.
how a simple square and two half circles might become a heart ...
