Thanks, Dee. I couldn’t hide the pain! If it’s any comfort, I’ve had two implants (with two to go), and they weren’t nearly so awful. Just a freak tooth, I guess.

"Moon Sang Her Story into the Blue" Last week I discovered that I can still change a tire. I was quite pleased to know that I can still consider myself tough enough. Wanting, wishing, pretending to be a mermaid in a six-foot across, three-foot-deep wading pool. Trying to get s...
Thanks, Tina, but I think it took everyone by surprise. I've never had a reaction (or lack of reaction) like this before. Hopefully, this will be a one time thing, but you bet your fillings that I'll be asking for a plan for Plan B if it all goes haywire again!

True! I suppose I can let go of being tough about teeth (as if there's any choice!). What a sweet song, I hadn't heard it before, thanks.

I'm SO SORRY!!! I should have put a content warning at the top!

I told you not to read this! But if it gave you an answer, ok.

So you know! It was so weird. Fingers crossed it was a one-time thing! Thanks, Barbara.

Good grief!!! We had a cat like this. Every day something would be knocked over, until one day he went too far and tore a muscle in his leg. His wild adventuring days were over.
just hanging on
A couple nights ago I woke up to Gibson draped across the crocheted table runner I had hung for a curtain...the one on the top that he is just pulling himself over in this picture. His front legs were suspended to one side and his back legs to the other. I am sure he would have found a way dow...
Your gathering photo is full of story even without your words. Love that book and their "Guess Who My Favorite Person Is." Used them both often in my teaching days.
treasures
Lunch break, sitting on the grass outside the building. Two perspectives. Things gathered. Fabric from Jude. There was a plan when it was cut out it but I don't remember. A new opportunity now. The lids contain dried pigment. Honey could have been added to keep it from cracking. It coul...
Yikes! I hope that you didn't have to pay for that! I've never had an experience with Novocain like this before. Really, the worst appointment ever. And I've gone through bridgework and implants. My face is still tingling from it wearing off.

It is crazy... And remembering how my dad lost it when people started getting answering machines! I know enough to do what I need to do...usually!
Some stitching, paintings, a memory, and a long processing of letting go...
"Moon Charms" We did not get to see the Super Moon, but I imagined it. "Humming of Home" The pink print of the house brough back memories of the "kids' cupboard" in my childhood home-where all of our board games, coloring books, crayons, and other odds and ends lived. Inc...
Thanks, Barbara. Living between the moons here. Palaver- what a very good word. And the very best of luck to you...make sure you have all of your secret codes and passwords with you!

Lucky you! K is much more techy than me, but he was at a loss too, in fact, at one point he was flustered too and forgot his own phone number. It was all ridiculous.

I was so sad to give up my flip phone, but there are advantages on this side, too. I wish you luck. Change just isn't easy usually! Thanks for your nice words, Nancy, I'm still trying to be more regular.

Thanks, I really tried to find the humor in it, most of the time. There were definitely moments when screaming seemed like the best option. But it's over now. I have a phone that works, all is good enough. And thanks, I liked away, too. Should get back to that book of boats idea...

Thanks for all of your kind words, Nancy. I was happy with that painting, too. I think it was a kind of just being centered beneath the things of life...letting things float above and away.
On the Home Front
More little houses with rainbow windows. I think I've been craving more home time. There was a weekend alone. Friday evening and all-day Saturday, I went through the boxes and baskets of cloth. Weeding. Knowing that cloth I didn't like ten, twenty, etc... years ago hasn't change...
The sky is growing out of inspiration from one of your scraps and the lower cloth that is a childhood scrap. Thank you! More to come....

I used to draw and build them (with toilet paper tubes, tissue boxes, etc.) as a kid. As a teacher, a favorite activity while studying the Middle Ages was having each student make a large drawing of one part of a castle- Keep, Gatehouse, Turret, Drawbridge, etc... We painted them with liquid watercolors, cut them out, and then collaged them together on the wall to create our own castle. They always turned out to be a crazy beautiful surprise.

It was lovely! I've been afraid of face making, that I couldn't get them how I saw them in my head. Still working on a fear of mouths.

Thanks very much, Nancy. Log cabin blocks were one of my first loves in quilt making. So centering- literally and mentally. These cloths are a map of things, I think. Someday I might have all of the words about it.

The latest block for the s l o w l y going moon cabin blanket. Not much to report. I now know that Monday morning in the pool is rush hour. You will get swam over if you're not careful. Went back to the water aerobics class yesterday. Kept a smile on my face most of the time. ...
Thanks, Beth, always glad for a good recommendation.

I don't know those books, they sound mysterious. I love the threads, too.
