I was looking at skyscapes, and one with cirrocumulus clouds had blue lines of plain sky dividing them into clean crisp rows for reasons known only to nature.
Skip having to weave in white across the backs of every single stitch? And again, ten rows later, and again? Done.
I browsed my Nicky Epstein book, imagining dozens of tiny oak leaves individually made on size 00 needles and sewn on the did-she-mean-to-knit-a-redwood-over-there.
Um, no (on both counts, but it is, isn’t it.)
I’m not liking the gray i-cord chains for the tire swing–they vanish into the background. I’m thinking I’ll redo those in classic black.
The mass of dark greenery across the left side and behind the house in the real estate photo came out like the shape of the nearby lake, and I like that. A lot.
Still gotta add petals to that little flower that I made out of the snowplow-guiding 6′ orange pole. There are several poles and there should be several flowers but at the time, it was taking me four to five hours per inch and I just too much needed that wide open green space to gallop across like a little kid let out for recess.
Getting there, getting there.
Oh wait–don’t let me forget to add a doorknob. Gotta have a doorknob.

Now *that* is truly a labour of love.
Come to think of it though – all your projects are!
Well done!
Simple amazing! Have fun with the cloudy sky and details. And don’t forget that doorknob.
