pelagianism

-belief in the basic goodness of Nature, including human nature. . . named for a heretic of the fifth century named Pelagius.


A hand crafted button, fashioned from vintage kimono silk, appliqued, beaded and stuffed - looking for a new home.
The cotton Ipad case, quilted and lined, where the button now resides.  
A little linen vessel, waiting for its filling ... Koigu will do nicely, yes?
My dear friend Becky once called me 'Johnny Appleseed'.  She was attempting to soothe me as I was moving, again, and had to leave my beloved gardens behind. She reminded me that I created gardens wherever I went - a purpose that I needed to value, to embrace.  This old fabric came to me a long time ago and asked to be utilized -
The selvage says that it is a Waverly print from the 50's.  It probably came from my Aunt Josephine's collection.
Now that fabric bags are sprouting throughout the house, I find that I cannot stop adding to the collection!  It is a joy to work through my formidable stash, reacquainting myself with pieces long hidden away.  I am in the midst of a great Un-Cluttering!  (The garbage receptacles are groaning at the end of the driveway!)
