Finding diamonds

I did just a few more rows.

 I will keep going with this. But am not going to show it again until it's done.

Which could be sometime!

Just to say that - so far - it doesn't look as though the pattern will be lost because of the stitches.

The first sunbeams this morning casting shadows on the kitchen wall.

I love the pattern, the tones, and the simplicity.

I've been finding diamonds today.

I loved Susan's post. 

And I was reminded of an earlier experiment.

Ideas!

What else!

When I'm not at work - which is most of the time - I try to do some of this...

what else...

I'm getting to see a lot of this... light patterns and movement on water.

Sometimes, a bit too much movement!

 We sailed into a storm. It was very choppy and I admit I was afraid!

But well worth weathering it out for this.

And this! The man caught "Manchado" - related to red snapper - in the dark.

 It was delicious!

I was thinking about those ocean skies. But can't decide if I prefer it like this...

Or like this??? 

Something started... that will probably just remain as another fragment of an idea. The sky needs more apricot. 

I grated some avocado pit.

Within seconds of being exposed to the air, it starts to turn that delicious marigold color.

I threw it in the pot with a few small scraps. I am not a patient cloth dyer.

I keep finding little scraps of fabric all over the house. I picked these three up today, and the coincidental arrangement was pleasing.

Any minute now, my eldest son, Eben, is going to arrive, and I haven't seen him for a whole year!
