I was so pleased with this little stamp I made last night, quite off the cuff, that I covered the postcard with it today. I’d forgotten how much pleasure I take from printing things. Then because I am smitten with this purple/green/yellow variegated thread, I embroidered around the greener leaves with that. I was thinking of going around the purple blocks in variegated light greens, but it’s past my bedtime, and I need to save an idea for tomorrow.
I worked hard on my journal page for April today.
I was thinking of trees that grow money, and trees that grow apples, and which one I’d try to grow and why, and then I started thinking a lot about the actual growth of a money tree – what it might have for fruit, and whether they could be bred or cross pollinated into different denominations, are they madly hetrozygous like apples and don’t breed true from seed but must be grafted onto root stock…. all kinds of foolish questions.
