a basted heart

When I started to "weave a little sunshine" for Jude

I began with the sun-rays

and I knew that the round weaving

would NOT be easy

(and I didn't want to many ruffles)

First I thought of cutting the strips on the bias,

that way you can easily force them around

but eventually I tore very narrow strips,

wetted them lightly

and then stretched them in the curve I needed :

it worked perfectly !

But ... when you are carried away with your good ideas 

you tend to forget certain things :

did you already bast the underground ???

.......

(of course I must say : I got carried away and then I forgot certain things)

So before I could start to baste down all the warp and weft strips ...

I had to put them very careful aside

and do my "forgotten" underground bast !

(if you don't use your head .... )

And now : I'm done !

not a single pin there anymore

Ta - daaaa !

All these tiny strips and scraps have finally become

ONE

(you know what : this is what you can do with it now !)

and after that it looks the same as the picture above
