Commented yesterday on piecing it together one stitch at a time at handstories
piecing it together one stitch at a time
Like a leaf. I grow more and more feral. Conversations stop midway for lack of words, or ability to find them. It grew, and I thought about the first time this sort of thing happened. Way back when, stitching together scraps and how they became one cloth with Jude's glue stitch...
thank you for holding space with all your heart on The Hill

Trying something new this year... Dehydrated raspberries and then ground into a powder. Not sure I can wait for winter to play with this.
they are thinning themselves out, I would remove the weaker trees to give the main tree more space to breathe and grow

excitement in the wee hours
Yesterday afternoon this maple trunk was at a forty five degree angle. I pointed it out to J in relation to how its length seemed to suggest it might fall on the roof. We agreed somebody would have to come and take it down ASAP. I edited a late-night post I made on my other blog just 20 min...
I have all my old journals and sketch books going back to the early 80's and still refer to them, not often but it's reassuring know where they are when needed!

#90 self portrait
I found a box of old journals. Read through the one I wrote when I was 17-18 years old. Cut it up. Reassembled it. Thinking about how some things don't change. And some do.
Are the 4 (now 3) trunks of your maple regrowth from one tree being cut down years ago or are they 4 separate trees growing very closely together? it is so good having a renovated eye so surprised that I could read books, stitch fine lace and use the computer the very next day after the surgery!

at Alyssia's house in town
the yard was very overgrown and she worked to mow it down but saw this cluster of Plant Being and "knew" it to be saved. Now it has spread, in just this short time, Chicory. These are pics she messaged me and when i saw them i remembered the roadsides in Michigan. Have not seen si...

weeds have powerful seeds
A lot of times I deliberately cultivate weediness but this vignette is more of a spontaneous development. I don't even know what these plants are called (they have a lot of nightshade characteristics) but they grow everywhere beneath the rhodies. I usually pull them out in large handfuls ever...

commercially printed cotton fabric glue-stick collage mock-up of The Hermit card from an unnamed oracle deck of my own device. Tarot-centric but only as a jump-off in terms of symbology and its placement throughout the deck . 5 x 5 recycled cookie packaging substrate. circa 1999. One of my ...

We are back from a week away caring for our granddaughter while her parents sequestered themselves in the guest room/study and worked from home. Ordinarily her other grandmother has this role, but she needed a break and we needed to reconnect with our baby, so we got ourselves tested (negative...
is your Grapefruit still in the pot? if so get it in the ground & give it some food as the yellowing of the older leaves can be a sign of nitrogen deficiency, citrus are greedy & enjoy being fed every season, also check to make sure the plant is not root bound when you knock it out of the pot as circling roots can confuse & strangle the plant, those yellowing leaves are a sign that the plant is not happy.

Oh yumm, pears are my favourite fruit but it's too hot for them to thrive here in Sydney, can only imagine the delight of tasting one straight from the tree!
Commented Jul 1, 2020 on Wednesday Words at Spirit Cloth
Wednesday Words
Pear. Pears. A Pair of Pears. At woods edge. A Pair is a positive thing. In my mind. In any form. Because it represents the birth of a pattern. And pattern is a form of natural order. And natural order takes a while to play out. I keep making these. Pairs. Pair-ings. Pare. Trim. Pared down, ...
