Sometimes you have to jump in head first and just go for it!

This photo came through my
Tumblr feed and it made me chuckle...it seems a little familiar lately. It was take by
Deby Dixon, a photographer who captures the amazing natural world of Yellowstone National Park. Her
Facebook Page is worth checking out.

I finished my stick tree today. It's bold and graphic and I do love the patchwork mix of indigo fabrics. I ended up binding it with black fabric so it would blend into the black canvas.

I had to pause and paint the edges of my repurposed canvas....then in the middle of outlining the tree I ran out of dark gray thread so had to pause and make a quick to the fabric store.

It was a big full spool when I started making all these trees and top stitching stripe stacks. There's something very satisfying about using something up!
The best pause was a trip to the local garden center this morning with Janet....a Christmas feast for the eyes.
