my friend, Elaine
gave me some beautiful fabric
remnants
i think this is a mix of cotton and silk
so soft and yummy
i cut it this way and that
hoping to piece together a skirt
wanting to hand stitch with thick thread
using no zipper
made it loose enough to slide on 
and cinch up with a belt
It was a wonderful project
for these ongoing smokey days
due to SO many fires 
it is said the fires will not go out 
until the snow arrives
and 
quenches their thirst

often my road looks like this:
now it is looking like this:
