Summer is a-Coming In.......la...la..la...La..La...La......!
Tuesday, 31 January 2017
Well, maybe not quite in the words of the old English folk song!
It is cold, also pouring with rain, as I type......and will be continuing to pour down all night, if our weather forecasters are as correct, as they generally are where rain is concerned.
Winter*, so far as the lacemaking is concerned, is most definitely finished (as can been seen above) and the final Seasonal Reflection, Summer, is well under way.
Also under way is a new Seasonal manifestation - that of The Seasonal Butterfly!
As yet, this Butterfly doesn’t yet flappeth (that is my department), but if it isn’t ‘quite’ yet on the wing, it has crawled out from its chrysalis and almost made it to the pillow.
This Butterfly is destined for smaller things, in the greater sense of the word, I plan to work it in the exuberant colours of fine Floss silks**.
*Winter: worked in Piper’s 80/3 Spun silk and *90/3 Gloss silk.
