Counting down …

Eight days to go before Christmas; after a troublesome year I am trying to focus on the little things that have brought joy.   

This detail from a recent arpilleras represents the delight I find in my studies for my MA in textiles. They have gone on all year despite lockdowns, restrictions and my self-isolation.  I have managed top read, research, stitch, make films and attend with the use of Zoom; lectures, meetings and tutorials.  While I was able to meet with other students, I did miss the human contact; so, I make wishes for next year; for a vaccine and less restriction.

lightens a dull winter day

‘til the petals drop.
