It was great & wild & weird!

bird wonder
Yesterday afternoon the birds went wild. They were all over the yard and the trees were full of them. Robins, jays, chickadees, flickers, sparrows... They were calling and flying about. It was quite the ruckus. Most of them flew off when I went out to see what was going on. I won...
Thanks, my 7th grade art teacher taught me how to draw them.
Thank you, Mrs. Trytko!

sancturaries of self
I've been thinking of shrines, temples, altars. The idea of "holy" is in it, but it's more about the spirit, rather than the spiritual, a way of marking what's held dear. A cobbled indigo arch was the start, wanting there to be something roughly hewn about it. Or maybe it's a wi...
Love how a good storm clears the air & how your house tells the same kind of story by seeming exciting and calm at the same time.

Storm Watch
Prep really. And then the ride. Anticipating power loss and very cold temperatures. We don't know, but shutting down to do some last minute chores and probably see you Monday. It's been a while since we had a good storm. Love a good storm. Puts things in perspective.
I wonder? They definitely knew something.

It's hard to hold onto these days.

Beautiful, Mo, yes, that's just how trees & roots feel to me- a reaching, give & take, in all directions.

We did! It's one of my memory treasures.

ha, that will require a lot more tea!

Snow . Stitch.
It did, it snowed a bit. I'm celebrating. Stitching across an old moon. Thread beads. But today I will call it the Snow Stitch. Frame of mind.
i'm in the mood for snow. If I stitch it, will it come?

This post is good medicine.
Today is free...going to put some blue glass on the windowsill to look through with cups & cups of tea & cloth.

Spirit Lifters.
A Big Moon coming. I put a a few sprigs of rosemary in an old sake bottle. I saved the blue bottle from nice sushi dinner a few months back. I saved the rosemary before the freeze moved in, around and about the same time. I used the rosemary for cooking, over time, and noticed that the one that ...
It did sound & look like a frat party- drunken birds gone wild(er)!

The unknown creates room for possibilities, just like your roof gap.
Commented 3 days ago on Good Morning at Spirit Cloth
Good Morning
Right before sunrise Soul-o likes to go out for a walk. I switch on the back deck light and he walks to the edge and looks. Then disappears for a bit before coming back for breakfast. Or dessert. Who knows? Lots of loose thoughts and patches strewn around here lately. Winter gets cluttered. An...
How cloth can be so many things, pretty wonderful. We're pondering where next, east is a possibility, but don't know if I could handle your humid heat (actually, don't know if he could handle me not handling it)

Cloth and Cold
Cloth is useful. Again. This is the studio table now, not in the studio, but useful for spreading out, etc., as the temperatures remain below freezing for the 3rd day in a row. The table top was rocking a bit. A scrap of silk was just enough to change that. All the cloth around here is used. As...
Universes, and windows. Hope you're feeling better soon.
Commented 5 days ago on Eyes at Spirit Cloth
Eyes
Eyes are something. Here, Soul-o. Close up. Too close to focus. They become like paintings. If I had painted them how would it be different? I can travel just by looking. Shrink yourself down and everything becomes a world. Still resting, chill still in me.
It's nice to be reminded of it.

one thing leads to another...
Wasn't sure how to get from here and there, but then I just followed the thread... Liking the idea of being able to go to somewhere else, while knowing it's possible to come back again. I'm married to a really swell guy. And the sky was so pink this morning. It pulled me...
I thought of smoke, too, or steam (morning tea influence), as for the slippers- I'm sure I'm the neighborhood "character".

It was a great weekend of light & lightness.

not bouncing on the border of ridiculous
Yesterday there was a consultation with the oral surgeon. The night before there was a lot of whining (and some wine), "Dad's dead, I have a teenager, and a missing tooth?! It's too much!" Getting ready to go, you would have thought that I was going on a three day train trip... Into ...
Great choices & yarn finds. I steeked once, baby sweater for Blue, scary and fun. Elizabeth Zimmerman's writing about it coached me through.

assignment #4
Question: If you aim high is more accomplished? I suppose it depends on how you feel when the due date comes around... Assignment #4 is ambitious and maybe slightly out of reach. I want to start and finish 4 sweaters. Mostly this is an effort to clean up the stash. The green yarn above is ...
I'm behind already! & had the same cloth thoughts. Did you learn anything you didn't know about your preferences from the assignment?

Or maybe pucker up? One of the assignments for the class I'm taking. There's also this: Thinking about something similar to this on cloth.
Very cool pencil & joodles! I like the lightness of doodle, not taking things too seriously, possibilities.

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 ...
