"Happy idling"

I've continued playing with the practice piece I started the other day. It is taking on a life of its own. I'm posting some of the first pictures, but since I'm unable to stop...it already looks very different. It is almost as relaxing as knitting or crocheting, kind of rhythmic and fits perfect the description of "moodling"--"long inefficient, happy idling, dawdling and puttering." I'm grateful to Julie for posting that descriptive quote.


Playing with this has seen me through last episode of The Closer and several other shows. I have to leave shortly for lunch at the Cottage, but will take pictures of the piece in its current incarnation later.
Now I wish I'd done the TAST exercises with some of you, although I don't want elaborate stitches on this piece, I intend do to another in which I attempt a more "sumptuous" piece-- a la
ACey, Debra, or Emmie.
