A clouded dream on an earthly night
Hangs upon the crescent moon
A voiceless song in an ageless light
Sings at the coming dawn
Birds in flight are calling there
where the heart moves the stones…
there that my heart is longing for
Calling for,
for the love of you..
A painting hangs on an ivy wall
Nestled in the emerald moss
The eyes declare a truce of trust
then it draws me far away
deep in the desert twilight
Sand melts in pools of the sky
darkness lays her crimson cloak
lamps will call, call me home
A clouded dream on an earthly night
Hangs upon the crescent moon
A voiceless song in an ageless light
Sings at the coming dawn
Birds in flight are calling there
Where the heart moves the stones
Where the heart moves the stones there
that my heart is longing for All for,
for the love of you.Mystic Dream – by Loreena McKennitt
This week we experience light snow nearly every day. Gently falling in little wisps of white, a perfect backdrop to stay inside where it is warm and sew.
I made this book using huge amounts of antique and vintage laces and old images (Regal and Royalty ladies) from Paper Whimsy. A vintage French rosary from a recent antique trip was also added in to add to the old world feel. Lots of hand beading too. I love to sew – but especially in the winter.
I hope you have a Blessed Sunday!
My computer is running slow and I have been yelling at it lately…but not today…today your images slowly loaded and to be honest it felt like opening up a gift .Your fabric book is sooo wonderful dear friend.Every panel more lovely than the next.xoxo
The details, the beading, the images, the magnificent vintage laces….beauty everywhere. You are quite the expert at creating these wonderful treasures, Nancy!
this is so beautiful – the poem and little book are so lovely together – a real treasure and the rosary is the perfect accent.
I am speechless thank you for sharing these gorgeous fabric dreams……..
Oh those words of Loreena McKennitt – so amazing and even more amazing to hear her sing them! Those beautiful regal and royalty ladies make the perfect images for this precious little book of pre-loved laces! It’s pure and gorgeous Nancy!

Sending warm hugs and love,
