Morley Makinui

Amidst the minor complexities of modern life: relatives being admitted to hospital as emergency cases due to self-induced causes; dog diagnosed with hayfever; moth infestation found in the carpet, Morley activities manage to soothe the mind.

Last week’s trial of makinui shibori, led to this beautiful result.  Picking out the stitches became a restful activity in itself, once I had settled to it, and stopped cursing it for being such a slow process.

  3. If blogs could talk what volumes there would be in "relatives being admitted to hospital as emergency cases due to self-induced causes"!

    Hope you are enjoying the peace of the lad-less house.
