making the best of a gloomy day

The view out my kitchen window today was all gray and dismal with some drizzle. Lucky I have this pink rose, clipped from the rose bush by the front door, to distract me from the gloom...

The view from my sewing table is much more encouraging...

...some of my most favorite things::vintage linens picked up at the flea market, some Japanese fabric, the color red, simple knitted squares of soft cotton yarn, and a little bit of embroidery...
Hopefully to all come together for my latest project...stay tuned.
