Thank you for permission to sew in a random manner. I would have anyway, but it was nice to have permission. My mother despaired of me.
Most of my favorite smells have to do with nature; I chose the pines of northern Wisconsin, Pine Lake about two hours north of Milwaukee. It was my family's oasis. The seaweed, even the occasional scent of a dead fish or a skunk, I loved it all.
I used most every green I had with Lovely As a Tree. Edged it with the gold painty pen and sewed around it with three different greens.
Pine Lake refreshes, renews and revives me.

I'm right there with you with the not straight sewing! I love the evergreens, the sentiment is perfect for them! There's nothing like a trip to the woods to refresh your spirit! Pure joy!
