If You Come Softly....

If you come softly
As the wind within the trees,
You may hear what I hear
See what sorrow sees.

If you come lightly
As threading dew,
I will take you gladly
No ask more of you.

And if you come, I will be silent
Nor speak harsh words to you.
I will not ask you why, now
Or how, or what you do.

We shall sit here, softly
Beneath two different years
And the rich earth between us
Shall drink our fears.

Tweed and Polka-dots

I was never much of a fan of tweed or other similar fabric types, but now I'm falling more and more in love with them. I've come to quite like them because they add a different texture and pattern to an outfit. A lot of the times, I see them on outdated styles so I guess I just assumed that they are outdated as well. But as my sense of fashion as grown, as fashion being more than just the current fad out there but as a mixture and an embodiment of past and present styles, I am seeing all prints in a new light. And I have come to appreciate tweed for its uniqueness. Altough, even with lining tweed can sometimes be a bit itchy, I forgive it.

Pink and Plaid

I'm quite bummed that I won't be able to go to San Francisco for Spring Break. The airfare has increased in price so San Francisco is not an option anymore. I guess staying home during the break will give me the opportunity to start on my sewing projects and hopefully to finish them. I have been hesitant on starting sewing because I'm not familiar with all the little details and hate to mess up (although I most definitely will) so I've been kind of putting it off.
