Looking over my back fence
Debra asked me about dyed fabric I promised to show before I went to England and then didn't- I cannot rememeber the fabric now- sorry. But I did dye some more fabric today trying to make a fabric that was more subtle with greys and ochres to make another hellfire quilt. I will then burn the edges onto what look like tree trunks and go from there. Whilst i was photographing the sun was behind the fabric and backlit it in a lovely way- the fabric of itself is backlit in a way but the actual backlighting made it different.
I also want to say thanks to the people who told me where they had come from, in looking at my blog- and thanks for all the lovely comments as well!
I have devised a little walking circuit on our land ( basically I go around and around trying to do Junott's 10,000 steps- not quite yet there but up to a regular 5 kilometres)- everyone I have told says how boring- but I love looking at minutae and tonight as the sun was going down I had to break the walk and get the camera to show you some of the view from my back fence- it's so peaceful and the light at this time of day is magic- quite different to anywhere else in the world.Sometimes looking at the minutae makes you realise how special a place can be- and I must admit I am getting ideas for more lace.

Dijanne,
Check out Saturday, January 29th in your blog. It's OK if you dont' remember... but that fabric looked so delicious in the dye bath.
How large a circuit is it that you walk?
I usually grab the dogs and walk most days. We have a collection of parks and byways that we like (some year round, some seasonal). So we kind of know where we are going by the day. Most walks are 1.5-3 miles. (or 2.5-almost 5 km). I best like the places where the dogs can go offleash. We all walk along together, but I can pay equal attention to the surrounds.
