A bit of free motion play

I'm presently sitting out on my sunny deck amidst my seedlings, taking a break and having tea. I'm smelling (still amazed to have smell) the grass and the few flowers and leaves that have bloomed. I have to remember that it is unseasonably warm today and it will still be a couple of weeks before they can be planted. However, I did put some cold crop seeds in the raised bed: radishes, spinach, and kale.

After my doctor's appointment this morning, I went to the pool for some gentle exercise, sauna and whirlpool. I'm hoping it will help me on my drive tomorrow.

I feel unsatisfied if I can't have a little creative playtime, so I squeezed in a bit of free motion with black thread on the painted canvas that I've been working on. I'm making some bookmarks.

Darned if I can't get the photos I cropped to upload. I'll show more another day. You wouldn't be able to see anyway that I added some foiling glue which needs to dry before I add some foil accents.

I hope you're enjoying your week and squeezing in a few minutes of creative play, whatever it be.

I'm currently in love with using black thread to make art, so now I am noticing it everywhere. Yours is a different take, yet again. Amazing how much punch the threadwork adds!

Love the pretty bookmarks, Holly. I love your bedding plants. I planted this past weekend (in Winnipeg) and am glad to have my patio space back!

I'm looking forward to seeing more of your threadwork!
