Loving Linen


snowy winter days and nights
stitching beckoned


though these are details on the front of a purse/bag

I learned to love linen in a new way last summer

(photographed in this mornings soft light)
 
most of us have heard that
 on hot days
 loose linen garments are cooling
 to wear

last summer i experienced how true this is
air can move through loose natural fibers

plus linen feels like home
comfy, crisp but soft
alive yet cozy

I am not much of a seamstress
when i sew i find in the end i would have preferred to do things differently
such a math problem to make patterns as one goes

still i am enjoying this linen bag
