</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's how the hat began. A fine hat. Bought at a store with purposeful yet not useful patches and other silly elements.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I was not as happy as I thought I would be with this hat.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1IGHDidFnHryqyl9yFOHn5UKBfP7P7k24quz1wKSwNooMYBG-9X1KgcnEOAxjPD5Zh3RQdq-qCJCcDg2QIMKl4Yvpkd4VTy2-bktyaRhgNm3km0MJtqGVr-FiwmV_0BQbqeRYSHMiVn8/s1600/meghat1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1IGHDidFnHryqyl9yFOHn5UKBfP7P7k24quz1wKSwNooMYBG-9X1KgcnEOAxjPD5Zh3RQdq-qCJCcDg2QIMKl4Yvpkd4VTy2-bktyaRhgNm3km0MJtqGVr-FiwmV_0BQbqeRYSHMiVn8/s320/meghat1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then, on Saturday, I went to the garden. Between rows of asparagus and potatoes, I looked down. There in the dirt lay a full bird's wing. The rest of the bird was gone, but the full wing lay before me. It was so beautiful I couldn't take my eyes off it. I felt such a connection to this wing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The more I examined it, the more I felt drawn to it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And I realized that was just what I needed.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I needed a connection to the birds, some strength from Mercury.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I decided to stitch a wing onto my hat to bring me speed and the freedom of wind.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You know I need it in my running endeavors.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">First, I took off a band around the front and some little patches, including a plaid patch. Plaid, is not for me, unless we're talking about my flannel pajamas, age 10.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I began my stitching by outlining the wing. I used my free-motion stitch foot to go all directions and follow the marked outlines I had drawn.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then, I stitched in the feathers on the far side of the wing. Again, I used my free motion foot.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaHtS_VCzywL-RH7BOzKe6yLhProbiU38MffRgnO8rugSwfriq4FO0fUZltMECC7PQg5G-_ZkyD6406ZatDMdx0lLTzMLtM-XnCgkcX_LtIW0CN06KI-e95YoHO2iBNystDf-BGUVOJIg/s1600/megshat4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaHtS_VCzywL-RH7BOzKe6yLhProbiU38MffRgnO8rugSwfriq4FO0fUZltMECC7PQg5G-_ZkyD6406ZatDMdx0lLTzMLtM-XnCgkcX_LtIW0CN06KI-e95YoHO2iBNystDf-BGUVOJIg/s320/megshat4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I outlined all the feathers on three sections of the wing.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH8kslDBnrqm-he_PPJKvpYLhid2DOipMfkH-0jhjp3gEBTVE2cPQdqItqNXNQ6pXZbHNcXvHYx8OeAIslYjM_zIRqxQ40YWSHO4ipd89DQiWmkLn462cJqpNBz2RsRkF3NRwHon9FBi0/s1600/megshat5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH8kslDBnrqm-he_PPJKvpYLhid2DOipMfkH-0jhjp3gEBTVE2cPQdqItqNXNQ6pXZbHNcXvHYx8OeAIslYjM_zIRqxQ40YWSHO4ipd89DQiWmkLn462cJqpNBz2RsRkF3NRwHon9FBi0/s320/megshat5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Then, I set my machine to a zig-zag stitch and using my regular food began zig-zagging to create some heavier shadows on the wing.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I just have to say that five days ago I was ready to call it quits. But it just so happens that I keep making "something" everyday, even if family is in town, or suddenly I get a call that someone is here to look at our house, or the boys seem to get possessed by craziness. Yes, it happens. Every day there is a nutty element thrown in, but I keep making something. So, here we are, 20 days down, 10 days to go. 2/3 is pretty damn good.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I remember a moment many years ago taking my brother around to a farm where I lived in New York. We were looking at the chickens and he was asking questions about the older chickens who no longer laid eggs. He wondered if they were good for meat. I told him they made good broth. He had a revelation. Chicken broth...is...made...from...(wait for it)...chickens.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Yup.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">When I lived in NY, I spent many days enjoying The Gates project in Central Park. I used some cropped photographs I had taken of The Gates and printed them on Vellum paper. The photo on Vellum paper gives a luscious translucence that I like.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Plus, the Vellum paper is a good stiffness for flying planes.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When The Gates were up in Central Park, I loved the feeling the bright, sun-filled orange gave against the blue of the sky. Such joy!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I think it would be fun to string a lot of these airplanes together to hang in my boys room.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">This is perfect for a hot summer day.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm not a big fan of sodas but I do like a ginger ale every now and then. </div><div style="text-align: center;">So I thought if I'm going to drink them, I should make them myself.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I started by making a ginger simple syrup. I cut up a really large ginger root and plopped it in a pot with four cups of water. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I let this simmer for about 10 minutes and then let it steep for one hour.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I drained this and discarded the ginger pieces. I put the liquid back in the pot with 1 1/2 cups of sugar and heated it until the sugar dissolved.</div><div style="text-align: center;">This is the ginger simple syrup it made.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">To make your fresh glass of ginger ale, mix:</div><div style="text-align: center;">2 parts ginger simple sugar, 1 part lime juice, 3 parts sparkling water</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I will admit I've been wanting to make one of these for a long time. It's an idea that floats in and out of my thoughts. But I saw that the theme of today's Day of Creativity Challenge was recycle. </div><br />
Then I got a call that our house is going under contract! Hooray! Not two minutes later, I looked in my pantry and saw this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0ihDyOw_O5RglQio1LzP-WuhjMZAL7ELut-Oef73FVbA8glWbX2fuzO_BnU2vQKt_bJGpRRlWNl8WD1dC-1_TruJRMZ7vaGZVeDj3vRwzLZfJt4YBGwOrGT2ngGouE-ZpEokwZp0PlQA/s1600/corks1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0ihDyOw_O5RglQio1LzP-WuhjMZAL7ELut-Oef73FVbA8glWbX2fuzO_BnU2vQKt_bJGpRRlWNl8WD1dC-1_TruJRMZ7vaGZVeDj3vRwzLZfJt4YBGwOrGT2ngGouE-ZpEokwZp0PlQA/s320/corks1.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What? How do I have that many corks? I am not going to move all of those in a jar! Plus, I want to use the jar for sun tea.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWair8rV4ReqDIqKnXZBGpbFauJ6Xn1UIZ8nZxAV4SMjpQ-nCzSCgISTYQHvV0illjQulVL-hSvz1tY3dbr2I7pFNV3fNYLBhdR7GU198dtVFqX7aLLXBSqdHGUPvU3jdehJJ-6-BXjzQ/s1600/corks2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWair8rV4ReqDIqKnXZBGpbFauJ6Xn1UIZ8nZxAV4SMjpQ-nCzSCgISTYQHvV0illjQulVL-hSvz1tY3dbr2I7pFNV3fNYLBhdR7GU198dtVFqX7aLLXBSqdHGUPvU3jdehJJ-6-BXjzQ/s320/corks2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I also found this box that used to hold my Amy Butler pattern cards. I've filed them away and now the box is empty. </div><br />

They're all slightly different sizes. Once I found the right combinations of corks, I glued them together. I guess I still have to move my new trivet to our new house, but now I am only moving useful things!</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Perhaps we'll stay at this new house so long that I'll save up enough corks for these chairs:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I was inspired by the painted bread of <a href="http://cheftessbakeresse.blogspot.com/">Chef Tess</a>.
