I am beginning to make some progress on one of the ice pieces I mentioned a couple of weeks ago. Immersing myself in the color and texture of stitch is a welcome relief from the demands of too much computer work lately.

I’m puzzling my way through. I have a general idea of where I’m trying to go, but the challenge is in figuring out how to get there. I want to work the upper area without losing the subtle, almost foggy quality of that section.

Meanwhile, I found this haiku which seems such a lovely fit —

Seamstress                                                                                                                                      Long needles of ice
Stitch the open water up
On a winter pond.
