softly lying

Softly Lying

by e'by
Today 
I went down
a long and empty lane
the end of which there lay
a spring fed well
full serving, sprang it gently
from upon the mossy hill.
Water
cool and fragrant ran
And, lying on its soft swell
It's tears I kissed away
then myself I gave completely
full I drank, my thirst
quenched, and drank I still.
A robin
shared the foliage
of the willow overhead
with wrens and sparrows
from the farmers shed.
They argued with each other
to see me naked lying
beneath the clear blue water
on whether I was dying.
My death
came sweet
  I must admit
no lover
more denying
as I lay sated
naked lying
peaceful
at his feet.

Softly

Softly, softly, here my heart;
Softly melding under stars;
Softly, each taking part;
Softly, softly, nothing bars.

Softly, now, each turning close;
Softly holding, holding tight;
Softly, now to smell a rose;
Softly, softly, through the night. 

Softly, moving, softly all;
Softly touching, softly kiss;
Softly listening to the call;
Softly, softly...all I miss.

PDF Crochet Pattern Only Summer Hat no 47 by stubbornwoman on Etsy

PDF Crochet Pattern Only Summer Hat no 47 by stubbornwoman on Etsy





Pattern Only, Crochet Cotton Summer Flapper Hat. Very pretty and actually cool in hot weather days! Good for Cool days as well. Cotton wicks away the moisture to keep it out of your eyes when exercising, fishing, picnics, etc.

You could substitute a yarn in another material, if it is equal in size to the Rowan cotton rope I used, and make this as a winter hat. The brim flares slightly from the hat, more so over the ears.

Fits Med to Large... even if yarn says machine wash, it is better to hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry.

Pattern will be e-mailed to you as a PDF.

Hats Off To You

Love the Pun!

Time to give kudos to the person whose snide remarks and hurtful comments, and even... (no, I'll leave that one off. Snide and hurtful are enough.) pushed me to prove I could be independent on my own. Without you, I would have just continued as I was. Without you, my shop would never have become successful. Without you, I would have given up. So, thank you for being so mean to me.

PDF Pattern Only Deco Bell Crochet Hat by stubbornwoman on Etsy

PDF Pattern Only Deco Bell Crochet Hat by stubbornwoman on Etsy

PDF Pattern Only, Deco Bell Crochet Hat. Hat is crocheted using Red Heart 100% Orlon acrylic. The hat has a crocheted black acrylic band near the top and a black tassel.

You'll need to use a similar yarn to achieve the same look.

This started out as a full cable hat, then, almost finished, I discovered a mistake near the beginning of the switch to black... had to unravel and just didn't have the heart to go back to the cable. It has a great unique band to add pizazz.

Pattern will be e-mailed to you via the e-mail addy you have on file.

Deco Bell Crochet Hat. Hat is crocheted using the 100% Orlon acrylic. It has crocheted black acrylic rows near the top and a black tassel.

This started out as a full cable hat, then, almost finished, I discovered a mistake near the beginning of the switch to black... had to unravel and just didn't have the heart to go back to the cable. Since I hadn't done the pizazz, I decided to add it to the band. I think it is a hum-dinger!

Acrylic is machine washable, cold water, but wouldn't you rather keep the hat looking as good as new? Then gently hand wash with a mild soap in cold water. Lay flat to dry.

Never, ever, twist a crocheted hat while wet!

Med to large
Note: When I list as Medium to Large I mean 21.5"(54.61cm) to 23"(58.42cm)And, small to medium would be Pre-teens and Teens HC: 20 1/2" - 22"(55.88cm)to Adult Woman medium HC: 21.5"(54.61cm) - 22.5"(57.15cm). See more sizes on Policy Page.
