One of my favorite spots last summer was the relatively new Bug Light Park in South Portland. I could walk to it from the Betsy Ross House, where Mom now lives. And I did, during Hurricane Irene, which had been reduced to a tropical storm by the time it reached us. These pictures were taken that day. There are high-rise condos near there, looking out over Casco Bay. Maybe that's where I'll retire!
I resolved to stitch up this wonderful landmark. I already owned a kit, which didn't look too exciting. I've started on it and there's A LOT OF WHITE, naturally. I found another and purchased it this fall.
I plan to stitch both of these up and then frame my photographs and my stitching as a collage.
For both of them, I will not stitch the word "Breakwater," because, to me, it'll always be Bug Light.
This morning, the 3rd morning of the long weekend, when I was able to SLEEP IN, I woke up to flurries outside my window here in Mason, Ohio. It is NOW officially winter in my world.
Where the heck have I been???
I have been stitching, of course! I’m working on the Oberlin “Chicago” for my friends the McNamaras, but took a Halloween break to get back to Prairie Moon’s “Crypt Club.” Loved working on the dress over the long weekend, down to the bows on her shoes! (Her elbow’s missing cuz she is arm-in-arm with her equally creepy date). Stay tuned!
