Hello.
Pinhead. How I feel sometimes when I cannot understand.
It is raining a lot and nothing is leaking. And there are gutters, leading the water to the garden. I need to rig up a rain barrel as well. A dark day yet light enough for stitching, reading, drawing, even growing. We will paint the ceiling white. This weekend. I think we can sleep out here now. There are 3 large skylights. Enough light on the darkest of days, not too much heat on the sunniest of days. The chicken wire came off the lower edge. It was there when we moved in, they had pets. Soul-o promised to be good.
It's a quiet morning.
To celebrate or simply honor my new found peace, I have begun filling in a few squares to define a new nine. (acting on a sketch from back here) I realize I have not gathered my thoughts about the NinePatch for the glossary yet. There are many, I should do that soon. Things, at least here, have calmed down.
A screened porch to sleep on is so awesome. My grandparents had a double decker screened porch and the upstairs one was the summer guestroom. I remember sleeping to the sound of music drifting down from The Castle on the Hill (a resort spa there).
Here, the frogs…
The unstitched zig-zags (outer bottom and right) make me think of a heartbeat.
It’s a 12 patch over a 56 patch over ?. Neither evenly divisible by 9. Is that significant or am I simply not seeing the basic 9-patchyness of it? Or is it meant to reflect a non-personal order? Or, in these “interesting times,” a desire for world order?
Whatever it signifies, I really love it. Someone said (on another post?) it looks like gnomes hiding behind the 56 patch. I agree . . . or sleeping under it at a campout. 😊💕
And the leaf!
“nothing is leaking”…how the small things can be huge! It looks wonderful and I can’t wait to see the whole of it, all done…so I can imagine.
This cloth says so much. ❤️
Beautiful space!!!
it is just great
skylights are great
yes, my goal would be one in every room but hey…
Hahaha…..yes to more light…..we have just had a shower refurb’ with tada: a small window in the shower space, now I can watch the bats fluttering as I shower in the crepuscule……
I love windows while bathing, No window in the bath here, but hey, one thing at a time, we could make and outdoor shower here, but the mosquitoes would love it more.
Wonderful skylight…
The peace looks and feels absolutely delicious… waiting and evoking…
Like it’s always been there, somehow…
there is more light in the adjoining indoor rooms as well. lifts my spirits.
Oooooo! That’s a really big deal in my eyes. Wish I could have skylights in my living room.
Sympa cet espace vitré, nous avons une véranda ici aussi pour nous protéger du vent surtout !
Et tes ouvrages toujours aussi beaux. J’aime bien les contrastes comme ces cercles et les dents de scies ou les cases souvent par neuf et les bordures frangées 😉
Merci de partager tes états d’âme et tes jolis points <3
the sky windows are glass but the rest is screening…
Thank you for saying!
Wonderful skylights to sit under and sewor read or maybe nap. Your stitching is always so nicely done, are you using one or two threads to stitch with? Either way I love where this is going.😍 Hope you have a blessed evening and a restful sleep.
so far, on this one, I have used single strand stitching. or wait. the white outer triangles are 2 strands.
Peace and quiet. So needed, enjoy your new space.
I am heading north for the summer, but will be watching the space, even if not responding. (out of wifi range)
Best wishes for a delightful summer to all.
enjoy!
Beautiful porch and sky lights and sleeping with new dreams coming in! Hurray, hurray! Happy for you and the man and Soul-O.
still have to paint, that’ll be a bitch…
I would like to caution you about cat promises……..
ha, been there, so far so good.
can SO picture the three of you sleeping under your quilts on that cozy treehouse porch with soft breezes flowing thru… the beautiful dreams you’ll have!
If I can get rid of the ants
This cloth is so comforting, and wise.
it has no agenda and it feels so good.
the no agenda part – that’s the wonderful thing – when you trust yourself enough – this cloth feels so good xo
I think my clothmaking has entered a new stage… I hope so.
What a fabulous space
Both porch and cloth
💚
good point, cloth creates space too.
What a wonderful reno, that works! Very professional too, and a lovely space. Enjoy to the max, Jude.
still some cleaning and painting, and not planning to put too much back except a sleeper couch and a small table and chairs. and plants.
What a beautiful space! Rained hard here this morning too, lots of cuddling with cats.
heat and storms expected. somehow I can weather the humidity on the porch, it’s up high and there is air moving through.
Ah, sweet peace. Once attained, it spreads outward, blessing all. The niceness of quiet. Thank you!
We need to be at peace to spread peace. Rage does not work.
Porch sleeping! Sleeping to the night sounds! Oh yes!!!
can be a bit spooky here with the coyotes but I want to be there.
It looks so peaceful. Needed peace. There is no understanding this. It’s mental chaos.
really. I always try to imagine the pain one must be in to act in certain ways.
Yes.
Oh! That leaf!! I stitched a leaf once…no, a leaf…a real leaf…a little flax-spun X in the middle…The little leaf made an impression on me, so I made an impression on it…used it for a bookmark.
i never did that but I love how it looks. was always thinking it would weaken when it dried out.
I like your little sharks teeth looking stitching 💙 glad you are back to some peace and quiet.
Oooo, shark teeth🤩
yeah, a scribble, I think paper thought related.
