Life is a dream

A boat beneath a sunny sky,
Lingering onward dreamily
In an evening of July --

Children three that nestle near,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Pleased a simple tale to hear --

Long had paled that sunny sky:
Echoes fade and memories die.
Autumn frosts have slain July.

Still she haunts me, phantomwise,
Alice moving under skies
Never seen by waking eyes. 

Children yet, the tale to hear,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Lovingly shall nestle near.

In a Wonderland they lie,
Dreaming as the days go by,
Dreaming as the summers die: 

 Ever drifting down the stream --
Lingering in the golden gleam --
Life, what is it but a dream?

love to stitch

After weeks of rest I put my tea party quilt on my lap and to hold it and see what to stitch on it
The bird of paradise was the result
there is so much more to do on this quilt but I wanted to show how it looks 
I can sit under it when I stitch it keeps me warm, so lovely to work like this 

Bird of paradise

Saw you flying by
Flash of Turquoise Blue
I just had to try
To keep your life in view

My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise

Wish that I could fly
I'd be beside you now
But I can only sigh
And watch you circle round

My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise
My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise
My bird of paradise

So you fly away
When will you come again
So I can watch you play
In the pouring rain

My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise
My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise
My bird of paradise

looks like autum

rain and it looks like autum
stitching on this quilt
slowly it grows
a lazy sunday
stitching and dreaming
outside there is rain

Tea Party

weaving along on the tea party quilt
I changed the name from tea pot to tea party 
it is better this way
for it is a party a joy to work on
