sacred sunday: afternoon rhythm

sunday afternoon


press, measure, pin, repeat.

this is the rhythm of sewing + creating. this is the rhythm of my sunday afternoon.

and while pressing, measuring, pinning (repeating), i listened to and sang along with mandy moore.

yes, mandy moore.

a classmate from high school thought i might enjoy her new album. (thank you.) i downloaded it a few weeks ago, but today, i really lost myself in the songs. i paid attention and found connection.

it is a really good "indie folk" album.

really good.

she wrote some of the songs with the weepies. yes, the weepies.

the album is called "wild hope."

a soundtrack for a sacred sunday afternoon.

when i come here.

This is a rhythm I could get into...though for me lately, it isn't press, measure, pin, repeat--it is knit one, purl one...but, you surely understand it is just as satisfying!
Love to you,
D.

Hi, I found your blog this morning from a link on the "small is beautiful" blog list on Jen Lemen's site. I like your voice, and your photos.

A good friend gifted me a copy of this Mandy Moore album last weekend, and I listened to it while cooking (which has a similar rhythm - measure, stir, taste, repeat). I especially like "Extrodinary."
