Fabric Collages and a Poem

Inspired after stumbling upon this site, Juliet and I set out to do some crafting with scraps:

Juliet's Collage

Mama's Collage

I highly recommend this project (found here). It was very fun to do, and all we needed to have on hand was some cardboard and glue. After gathering those items I covered our cardboard with white muslin, dove into my bag of scraps (cotton fabrics, felted wool, bits of yarn), and we went to town. We'll definitely be doing this again in the near future.

In honor of Valentine's Day this week, I thought I'd share a poem each day through Thursday. Here's one by Jane Kenyon, one of my all-time favorite poets. Enjoy!

Song

An oriole sings from the hedge
and in the hotel kitchen
the chef sweetens cream for pastries.
Far off, lightning and thunder agree
to join us for a few days
here in the valley. How lucky we are
to be holding hands on a porch
in the country. But even this
is not the joy that trembles
under every leaf and tongue.
