potluck poncho and leftover socks

It came to me this weekend

Wedding dress fleck

The poncho that I've been making is a potluck of sorts.  Yarn, roving  or little bits of fabric from friends and family.  A variety of stories.  This weekend I added little flecks of one of great-grandmother's wedding dress to the wool I was carding.

And that the socks that I make with the remains of yarn from other projects are

Leftover socks

leftover socks.

And it reminded me of the two things that I aim for as I make things.  The type of creative person I want and need to be:

1# Things need to carry meaning, story, connection

2# I need things to have a purpose.
