flying or not flying, that's the question

Yes !

The feathers are ready for take-off

to fly all the way to New York.

First there was the looking for inspiration and sketching some ideas

( daughter brought some beautiful feathers )

but I could not decide yet.

Then later last night : bleep, the light went on, and I knew what to do!

I started stitching at about 11 pm

and stitched on and on ...

till it was finished !

Then, this morning, I made another one 

and put the two of them in an envelope with a little note for Jude.

But :

.....

daughter wants to send a feather of her own, along with mine !

The envelope is still open and waiting for the next feather for Jude.

So she'll have to wait a little bit longer

( ... and so have you all before I show them ... )

Later daughter came by to do some felting of her own : a waistband

on which she started a few days ago

... a rose is a rose is a rose ...

When it's finished you will see it.

( here she is, showing my  Kaffe "clutch" bag,

I don't know, but think I will make a rather short strap ... )
