Peaceful, greenful...

I, woman
eye woman surfaced this morning. Not green. Among green. For looking. I have a lot of old and unfinished work here, and I am seeing it differently. At least I am trying to. Have a good weekend.
the first order of business each day is to check in with the Earth in the backyard. If I don't do that, well...I just don't feel quite whole! happy day Planet Earth! We depend on your survival!

Can you smell it?
Earth. A stray cat, who has found a home, always has a loose connection with season... I wonder, will it rain all day? (New content for those enrolled in the Free Enough Series...) How will it be to return to earth?
Good to hear that you are surviving the wind and rain. I’m catching up a bit here. All that noise must have been
startling for the goats. They are tough though, and beautiful too!
Love how naturally the lizard fits into this stitching story.

Just Thinking
Pay Attention to Recurring Dreams... That's the last note to myself about this one. Today I jotted down... Keep the story together. Above... a djoodle. So here I go. That's what I want to do. My goal this year is to make the story clearer. My sharing series has that personal goal behind it. ...
oh my! love the dates you picked. ha!

When it All gets Too Big...
Probably all those who subscribe by email here will not see the moving picture below. I don't know. You may have to visit. Still, this is just so perfectly how I feel today. I THANK YOU all for your interest in my final online sharing series. The potential group is way bigger than I imagined. ...
Much adoodle about nothing (or no snow) I saw that St Louis is blanketed. But we did get melted snow here last night. We call it rain.

So Where is the Snow?
Snow is like an eraser. I thought that. I could use one right now right now. I thought that too. The man bought me a digital pencil. I'm doodling. or undoodling... Grace, who doesn't like the word doodle, had me consider that. Do I? Is it too "cute"? No, I do. I like the word doodle. It's ...
thanks for the link- doing some catching up here and reconnecting. i had her blog in my reader but just realized i could change my settings per saved blog to receive an email for desired ones. and so i did.

it's december
Or... Maybe my note for today should be.. it's December and we're no closer.
i thought, " a slice of time". like the sweep of a second hand around and around the clock face (world). i have no idea about Mo's project -i feel out of place and time at the moment but will catch it...

Every bit of it communicates something. Catching thoughts is a practice. Refined here on this page.

The Illustrator in Me
Still there. Patiently waiting. I made these photos a bit like drawings, paintings, wondering again and closer to it. The idea of drawing from life, cloth life. Cloth to Paper. You can see the woven insert here. Another what if, they are piling up.
that room has a mood.

not a self portrait
The man was trying to adjust some effects and setting on my fancy camera which is always too much for me. Just trying to help. You're in a mood he said. I liked this shot. I could see The Mood more clearly. Was just about right. That phone which has become attached to me. That phone which sh...
no snow here of course- maybe just some ash, but winds will likely keep it to another direction unpredictable as they are. the last of the poms fell while i was away so must collect and start a pom brew. the persimmons ripen, a bowl of tomatoes collected, much of the garden in disarray. one day at a time here...enjoy the magic of the first snow!

Yellow Earth
Maybe snow tomorrow. The season's first Earth Yellows. Saving them for something.
At the show I was reminded of this aspect of my work. Just being there. Holding ground in a way.
Im sure the owner appreciated your help.

Blue Head. Blue Heart
Just there. Wanted to come in. I managed to find his owner by going door to door. The cloth with the Blue Heart just being with other cloths. Settling in to what's moving through... I'm thinking about the many ways we might help each other. And how much I get done by just looking.
Just returning to CA now and to all the fire and smoke. Many I know are in this same same space of unknowing( but what do we really know anyway?). Glad to hear you are doing ok and staying alert to the dangers. The loss of Paradise will prompt me to dig out the old family photos from when my grandmother and her sister grew up on a ranch there. That old covered bridge is gone too but I have the memories of it to keep forever.
Commented Nov 12, 2018 on not knowing. Still. at windthread
not knowing. Still.
the Fire seemed where it was and so they left. Around 12 midnight, a call....Chico had Evac Warnings. Nothing here, yet. But Paradise was gone. the Dragon was moving, propelled by Santa Ana winds. Ok. So. Get ready. I packed one of those grocery tote bags. Tea bags. charger cords...
The path can be very chaotic, here’s to a peaceful crossing of the river.

A Path
Yes it's on the wall. No, it's not right yet. I used some old sample cloth from my old job, to frame it on 2 sides, the word sample still scribbled on it. I see a path. I think normally I consider a path as a clearing, something simple and open through the wilder,chaos. I notice today, looking...

Into October
There is not much color here yet. But it is October. Again. This is the first day in the last few days that there might be some time to think. Deeply. Magic cloth 2 needed air. And later,maybe some sea. I looked hard at this cloth at sunrise. I don't like it as it is. Which is important to admi...
the walls hold the stories. the spirit was recognized.

Moon Face Resurfaces
Some of you have followed for so long. Remember MoonFace? I suppose this patched format was the original "stray cat" format, although I was mostly thinking lion back then. Something more comfortably wilder. I made this one as part of a Faceless series, still considering face, how we share that,...
exactly why...thank you.
Commented Sep 26, 2018 on Why it's worth it. at Spirit Cloth
Why it's worth it.
The sharing. It works both ways. Karen, who had recently purchased a few threadcrumbs from the shop shared a little story (how I love stories) about the work she does. She runs a non-profit company that works with a special group of young adults. You can check them out here… http://www.ycuatlan...
maybe it's the season of lost... feel it here too.

Home
Nope. Just settling back in again. Not really wanting to talk about it. It's cooler. Never a day seems to go by without cloth. I continue to prepare puzzle pieces. They are so portable. And somehow, having come across an old pieced base, there was a place to stitch a kind of compass. Maybe b...

how Water makes Life possible. Continuing Here, from a desert, Here, not yet knowing what to call this kind of Place, but the constant and abiding element is Water.

Stray Stitches
They began that way. Then I thought... Stitch by stitch. Eventually she becomes visible. Yes, stitch by stitch, I make myself visible. I suppose I could just as easily pull them all out. I left some loose ends just in case. It's September. Imagine that. Already. Poof.
the more moons the better . the moon shines light n the path in the dark. love the tiny stitching on the edge.

That Robe. Continuing. Robe weather is approaching. To catch them. The symbols. And repair at the same time. The magic dot. Was #1. The first consciousness of component/symbol as a way to build story cloth... Just one old example... and a new way of doing it with a loose dyed patch. A dot is...

ThreadCrumbs. Just sorting through the nest. Looking for a rainbow. And celebrating the paper egg carton. No more styrofoam please. Please. I need me some chickens.
It’s all along the path...

Just Wednesday. Cool enough, sun's out. Still damp but easier breathing. Windows open till the heat builds. I can't get my video to load this morning. So just a pic... Just enjoying little things. No agenda. I think I have resolved the Feel Free issues on Wordpress but I think I'm already on a...
I love them too. Her lines and words have a practiced freedom that I enjoy.

The lines of Michelle Slater... The freedom of them. I love them. They are her other poetry.

AUGUST NEWSLETTER
It 's August. Already. Bugs are singing that song. I'm fine. I traced them this time. They are very ghostly right now. There but not there. And I stitched on the universal basket self. Stitching this personal symbol helped. It's the kind of thing that makes going in circles very beautiful...
