Yes! The pantry story! My grandmother had a pantry right off her kitchen, under the staircase. We cousins would often hide in there, a black toaster doll Queen of the Pantry, perched up on a shelf.
Beautiful work and a beautiful post. I love the monoprint sketchbook pages and your drawing into wet paint. But it is your words about the pantry that snatched at me, standing in the stillness listening to catch lost voices.
Another excellent start to the week. Thank you, Cathy. And oh, how I love the pantry piece. I believe we should frequently let our home know how much we appreciate the shelter it offers us, and this little exploration of your pantry makes it feel like a sacred space.

Thank you Nancy, such memories our grandmothers often provide for us
I loved getting a glimpse of your poetry, Cathy! “Not impressed with you!” made me laugh.💕 Thank you for sharing your lovely work!
Thank you Sheila! Always much appreciated
Cathy you MUST bring back the poetry cuffs!
Thank you, will see if Marjorie agrees!

Many thanks for such a thoughtful response to my notes, Deborah. I am particularly pleased you mention the pantry story.
It was a joy to read.

I enjoy seeing the 'reverse' of stitched work--seeing your tangle of thoughts is delightful.♡
