humming happily

i'm humming along happily in New Orleans
as a guest of the Joan Mitchell Center
working on a project for an exhibition next year
under the supervision of an old friend
the silk for the project was a kind donation
from my longtime friends at Beautiful Silks
and i have the offer of back-up studio space at NOCCA 
through my lovely friend Nikki Jackson
+
one thing often
leads to another
 and when i need a break from stitching
music is never far away

later on, wandering home
i step into a flower shop
and am given another present
a twig of Eucalyptus polyanthemos
which, oddly enough
was just what i needed
