lyrics

Needle 'n' thread pushing up through the mud
sunny soil birdsong spilling on a table
fingers spare and lean and nimble...

Needle through a bead and another bead
and another bead of the other color
pushing out strong --- springtime
sunny soil sunny soil

Fireweed Ladies, Fireweed Girls

Polymer clay rolled thin as a leaf
roll it out roll it out in the sunny soil ---
color on the other color layer after layer then
roll it to a butterfly thimble

Jackie and the Beanstalk long stem thigh high
Stitch another row and another row
weaving layer after layer –
Sun's not going down anytime soon...
so bud and bloom, bud and bloom...

Fireweed Ladies, Fireweed Girls

Cotton & silk & fur & fleece
rainy day rainy day, knit another row
and another row, purple and pink on the road
like a long scarf stretchin' out yonder
(to the fireweed fair)

Soup in the crockpot, birch bark, needlework
patch'em all together in the warm soil rainy days
open up proud and plump and full and laughing...

Fireweed ladies, Fireweed girls

Oh snapshots, stickers and sunny smiles, pretty smiles
cut 'em out glitter-paste handmade pretty paper
scrap book, pretty paper smiles, wild and whispy...

Scraps in a basket, beads in the box
Chitter chatter pitter patter pass it on pass it on
Rusted red and taken by the wind to the cool ground

Gone to seed, gone to seed...

Fireweed Ladies, Fireweed Girls...

Peter Mulvey has praised her work as "solid, beautiful, vibrant...inspiring. ... more
