Newfangled Skirt

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:
