Marching into April

Hello fellow dear inhabitants of Planet Earth...locally, spring is behind schedule because of all the rain.  One (of the many) advantages of blogging is a new form of daily ordering of events.  Last year on March 23, I took this photo of the wisteria:

Here is the wisteria on March 29, this year:

I've been working on more felted squares, which I've decided to call Prayer Mats.  First a green horse, which isn't quite done:

This is a prayer for order:

And this is a prayer for Containment, for all the leaks our planet has been experiencing...in the Gulf of Mexico, in the nuclear power plant in Japan, the wiki-leaks, and also for the levees in California, which hopefully will hold during the spring melt:

That's all for now...

    Suzanna, the prayer cloths -- oh me oh my! Containment is especially meaningful to me for a number of reasons in addition to what you mention. I love them all though.

    Thank you Peggy...there are so many things one can't really do anything about, except pray...

    your felted squares are beauties. i love that last one. when i first moved into my house i planted a wisteria vine. after 5 years of no blooms, i took it down. the wisteria here in austin was beautiful this year.

    Thanks Deanna...I have just learned how to do wet-felting...getting closer and closer to the basics of this cloth-making adventure...

    Dear Grace...thank you...I think it's his eye...to me it wants a little something...not sure what...it's a little bit like using watercolors...

    Same here, everything is weeks behind. Thinking about how holding things in isn't necessarily a bad thing...

    Hi Deb...yes to that thought...I'm learning to trust in nature's timing, even though it is baffling sometimes...
