Just to be here folks.  To say a few things.  Connect some dots.  I am about to begin again.  Here. Because it seems to be OK.  That being said, I did run into some issues yesterday, but the help here is good and the problem was resolved.  Since I started this as a supplement to Spirit Cloth, I have some cleaning up to do to make the Journal part work with categories etc.  So I am doing that.  Please note, since some folks were confused... this site is clothwhispering.com, in case you get mail from there, it's me.

I will be leaving the Spirit Cloth blog intact for now.  So much to connect to over there, it will take time.  I will make the navigation cleaner and simplify the design a bit in the next few days. To keep it useful.  Your kind donations will allow me to maintain both places for now.

Soul-o has a new friend.  Some seeds from the feeder fall into the outside ledge of the window near the kitchen.  This little downy woodpecker comes to the ledge each morning.  Soul-o waits.  They both seem very calm about it now.  Watching each other.  Some sort of remote friendship.   The pic is very small because I took it from far away and had to crop it...

I stitched this one while reconsidering heart.  I have decided to put together a little documentary on my stitched symbols.  And talk more about what I might call Compound Symbols.  But for now, just to say I loved this one. It is personally satisfying as an image somehow.  Close to my real heart.  Someone asked me about how I feel about folks copying my symbols.  Can I save that answer for another day?

I decided to make the quilting on this one  look like waves.  I don't want to talk too much about the techniques today.  Because I would like my posts to more focused on one thing at a time.  Just pictures today as we prepare for yet another winter storm.  I read somewhere yesterday,..

We are not all in the same boat,  but we are in the same storm.  I don't know, it depends on your perspective.  Anyway, hold on to each other.  I will be back  when I'm 70.

PS  If I haven't answered your email, I'm working on it. Also excuse my typos.  I am lousy at proofreading and worse at typing.  And spelling.  And all things English language.
