At this time of year although I absolutely adore the majestic views of the sky when I look up and the layers of green and yellow when I look across the farmers fields and meadows. One of my favorite places to look is down, way down. You already know how I love the forest floor but what about my garden and the paths and surfaces around my home. What do you see? 
Do you see garbage, plant waste, potential compost ??? Well I see material to gather up and be inspired by.
I see large complex flowers made out of plant matter.
While I was outside gathering magnolia leaves one of our cats, edgar started climbing the tree. I thought he was really sweet hanging out in the lower branches so I took some pictures but then he kept going higher and higher and then realized he couldn't get down . I had to climb the tree to rescue him . Sorry there was no one around to take a picture of edgar and me in the magnolia tree.
Thanks so much for all the response to yesterday's call to trade or swap for vintage fabric. It isn't too late to respond. I will be going over comments over the next few days and getting some bundles of fabric and trim together on the weekend. I want to give you a link to a fantastic website , the human flower project . Have a great day and don't forget to look down!!
