Under cover still


It snowed again last night. The world insists on being in b&w. It's so funny visiting Geninne or Gracia, whom's worlds are in colour this time of year. Ours will be in colour again when the time comes. For now, I'm enjoying the cold light and crispness.



Do you know Neil Gaiman? He's one of my favorite authors, and recently I stumbled 'cross this adorable little interview his 10-year old daughter made with him. Sometimes in interviews, if you listen real good, you can hear the slight distance the interviewed places between him (or her) and the interviewer (which I totally understand. Must be hard to be expected to turn yourself inside out, because you wrote a book, made a piece of art or).
But you can't do that with your child. Don't want to, I quess. This interview is full of love and smile and un-distance. Made me so happy.

  1. hello Christine and Happy New Year to you!

    thanks for your wonderful words to me. I really value the sharing.

    enjoy your snow, and the way your stitching in the text mimicks some of these patterns of world hidden beneath the white wash of weather.

    what you say about the interview is wise. Love it.

    a wonderful day to you, you prob have something wonderful simmering on the stove... it is cold here, but this light is dazzling across the chasm on the river...

  4. You've had a lot more snow than we've had. I hope you are staying warm and cozy. I never thought of doing abstract stitching.

  7. A world in monochrome, yes, that is just how it is during winter, especially when it snows. Here it is bright and the night still carries the heat from the day. I am enjoying thinking I am in cooler climes and visiting all my blog friends in the northern hemisphere. Thanks for the link to my post... glad you liked the burst of strong light.
