We went walking on Monday, high up in the hills at the edge of the city to look at the windfarm there. When we got home I stitched some of those amazing wind turbines- they looked so graceful working away in that rugged setting, a bit like wild sea birds. Pretty amazing when you see them up close and think about the construction involved. 

The embroidery was made into a little pouch for today's shop update, which happens to be my last Wednesday one, for a long while at least! I will write more about that tomorrow.

Enjoy your Wednesday, blogfriends.

    I like that part of the flight into wellington when it passes over those turbines. Have you ever noticed how they sound like a genuine Star Wars light sabre when they turn? I bet they’re getting a work-out today.
    Your embroidery of them is coooool.

    I love your little spinning towers. I like to see the height and stretch of wind farms, whipping energy out of air…

    there are several wind turbines dotting the landscape in california. my family and i used to pass a turbine farm on our way to my grandmother’s house when i was little. i would try to count how many were spinning, and it was always a marker that we were getting close to our destination.
    that is a sweet little embroidery. i love it!

    Montana and Washington have quite a few of the windmills, might as well use the free energy.
