Is this your wiggle rug? I still haven't tried the wiggle flower yet -- or the wagon wheel. One day soon. I can't wait to see your wiggling done. :) Surely there must be a more proper term, but I think wiggle sounds good. Ha! Have a blessed day. Tammy

I only know this as the wiggle stitch!! It is a little silly, but a little silly-ness never hurt!!
As I am making this up as I go along, I have to pause and look at what I have done and decide if it looks OK. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment....it's nice to hear form people.

here she comes...

I am standing by the seashore.

A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze

and starts for the blue ocean.

She is an object of beauty and strength,

and I stand and watch

until at last she hangs like a speck of white cloud

just where the sun and sky come down to mingle with each other.

Then someone at my side says, ‘There she goes!

Gone where? Gone from my sight – that is all.

She is just as large in mast and hull and spar

as she was when she left my side

and just as able to bear her load of living freight

to the places of destination.

Her diminished size is in me, not in her.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says,

‘There she goes! ‘ ,

there are other eyes watching her coming,

and other voices ready to take up the glad shout :

‘Here she comes!’

Henry Van Dyke, 19th century
