Then I stitch:

i promise
cross my heart
and hope to die
(which never sounded quite so
seriously serious
before now when
i’ve gotten a bit of
age on me.
age that makes me quite fluent
in worry)
that on sunday,
if not tomorrow night,
i am going to lightly starch,
iron, and find better lighting
to snap new photos.
then i think we’ll
really be cooking with gas.

I’ve been in the air all day,
flying from Portland
to Atlanta,
and will squeak this one in
just before turning into a
pumpkin.

Oh, and thanks to my son Kipp,
I think the comment debacle has been
remedied.
I sure hope so anyway
cause I’d sure love to hear
your response to these,
what you see,
what you feel,
what you might suggest.

stitched during sessions of wds 2012.

i’m noticing that when i tear the paper away, some of the thread doesn’t lay flat against the cloth. wondering if i need to stitch them again over the existing stitching or add a layer of cloth or what.

right now, i’m just using one layer of broadcloth because i like the quasi-transparency, but if the stitching won’t lay flat, seems i need to do something. will get home tomorrow and iron them, see if that makes a difference.

this is one of those projects that i didn’t want to think too much about before starting because i’m prone to thinking myself into paralysis. i’ll figure something out.

stitched while sitting
on a bench
in portland.

p.s. i received an email last night from a new friend,
a woman who is a kickass writer,
telling me that there’s a problem with my comment system.
a problem leaving comments, specifically.
the good news is that i am with my son who an help me sort this out.
the bad news is that it might be sunday night before we have time.
