I am fascinated by Shakers. Their artwork reminds me of an old cross stitch project of mine from 25 years ago--a tree of life covered with animals. I'm going to dig it out and finish it. I'll post pictures here.

....turns out, I may have thrown the dang thing away. I hope not. The last place to look, my old desk, is currently swollen shut with humidity. Having waited 25 years for the inspiration to finish I SUPPOSE I can wait a little while longer....
