Yesterday's mail came in balance...a very belated rejection from the TSGNY exhibition (freeing up my entries for other shows - Yay!) and a tiny beautifully wrapped package from Morna Crites-Moore. I'm not a jewelry gal - been wearing the same tiny gold and diamond hoops that my family gave me for my birthday ...um, two years ago. but I've coveted these for so long and slept through the night without noticing them so it will be a long running association.
She also sent the tiny hand stitched block and as I examined it I was amazed to see that this type of block was constructed on a base - a notion that never occurred to me. I immediately grabbed up some scraps and tried it for myself. Makes me wonder what else I am missing never having educated myself in the breadth of traditional sewing techniques.

love it
I've had a very busy day - mostly associated with cleaning house - I have been on a tear lately - closets, cupboards, dresser drawers - so I finally sat down and decided to treat myself to some web wandering, just for the pure pleasure of it - and of course I came to visit you - and I found this lovely little post which mentions me! I am so happy to know that the earrings are comfy. And I love your little sewing project. I envy anyone who sits right down and does something instead of adding it to the mental to do list. xo.
