watching

Tucked behind a large vase on the fireplace mantel, Dalla watched while I was working on more inchies.

one of these

Here are a couple of the slightly larger than an inch inchies. One of these will be further embellished with beads, a little bit of lace, have a pinback added, and will be given as a small gift to a friend this coming weekend.

Charlottesville

I used to live in Charlottesville. It's the one place of anywhere I've ever lived that I'm sorry that I left. It has been 29 years but finally I was able to return for a brief visit, accompanying my husband on a business trip. Some of the photos were taken yesterday, after I had finished exploring and while I was waiting for the hotel room to be ready. Given my fondness for spirals, I had to take photos of the carpet in the lobby. While there I made some slightly larger than inchies, using a technique I was experimenting with. The third photo was from today's drive out to Crozet, where we used to ride on his motorcycle thirty years ago.
