It happened when I
was otherwise engaged….
Stitching….
“Dreaming of Spring”
The first of Caroline
Zoob’s Stitchery Journal pieces.
(Based on the style
of Vilhelm Hammershoi).
I was also busy
stitching daffodils and daisies,
a simple fresh seasonal
design for “The Spring Garden” workshop at Lucinda’s.
Suddenly I realised that
Spring had arrived early.
Through the window, I
saw yellow catkins swinging from the gnarled and twisted branches of the Corkscrew
Hazel trees in the garden.
It seemed no time at
all since we walked through the forest kicking at the brown leaves that lay
decaying beneath the trees.
Now we were walking
through woodland with clumps of daffodils providing bright splashes of colour
in the shady light below the trees.
Although the
stitching is complete, there are still touches of paint to add to finish off; however,
this will have to wait as the garden and allotment are beckoning. New growth is
flourishing and the new gardening year has begun already.
