Not what I had in mind, but at least the color combination on the front matches my expectations.

Highly inspired bei Marla Varner´s Quilt project i felt the urge to sew. (+ one oldie) I also had the urge to get rid of my scraps. The method I use is called crumb quilting as far as I know.

The third does not reflect my taste. More an exercise. And it's always good to have a few things up your sleeve to give away.

I was thinking about clothes today and two movies popped into my head. "The Banshees of Inisherin" and "Ammonite" with Kate Winslet. Her clothes are fantastic in this movie. The knitted sweaters in "The Banshees of Inisherin" are also fantastic. But "Ammonite" reminded me of something last summer. I found 12 Hühnergötter at once on the beach and picked up all the stones I found beautiful. I put them in a pile in front of my tent to see which ones I would keep later. At some point, the guy camping next to me approached me and asked about the stones I had collected. And I said. Oh that's nothing, I have no idea and just put in what I like. But he sounded like he had a clue and was genuinely interested. So we looked through the stones together and found a piece of a fossilized sea urchin and a piece of an octopus. It turned out he was from the town I moved away from 9 years ago and is a biologist. He was there to watch birds. He had an incredibly large pair of binoculars with him, with which I could see the craters on the moon. It was a wonderful encounter. Later, a storm came up and I woke up in the morning in a 10 cm deep puddle. But my tent held tight :)

Makes me miss Ireland even more than I already do.
