Even one photo from years past brings on a rush of memories--bittersweet.<br />Good posts this week--I've been reading without time to comment.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-68572861332741833552014-03-22T12:15:27.899+00:002014-03-22T12:15:27.899+00:00I've just had to look Kaffe Fassett up and am ...I've just had to look Kaffe Fassett up and am so impressed. Such vibrancy and excitement in fabric. Something I steer away from in the house to my own detriment. <br /><br />Lovely to see and hear about Suki. They tear our hearts.

I have a few of his books and the image that always springs to mind when I think of him is of a wonderful nursing chair covered in needlepoint of brilliantly coloured anemones - all pink and purples. Anemones were my mother's favourite flowers and it calls her to mind.<br />His sense of colour is second to none.<br /><br />On the subject of dogs - old friends who have died leave a sense of sadness. One of the downside of owning dogs is that their life span is so much shorter than ours. I have lost some dearly loved dogs. They are buried in a row in the paddock, just under my kitchen window. I think of them often.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.com
