My thoughts turned to growth, that is, in this case, bursting at the seam(s). And then simply branching out.
I found myself on cloth again, but these three drawings will also evolve on paper. This flow has led me back to the cloth I call Grow. I have it on the big round table and I am coating some of the thinner spots on the otherside with some old patchwork. And considering whether it needs to be bigger. Before some winter quilting.
This site will come down soon for a bit of winter maintenance. And reconsidering. A little hibernation here at Feel Free then, see you all next year.
Wishing you peace and a happy hibernation…
Blessings to all.
Wishing you joy and peace — any maybe a snowfall or two.
loving the back ‘n forth conversation between paper ‘n cloth. the grafting of one thought into another. excited to see what will spring forth in the new year. wishing u a merry hibernation! x
“I wonder if the snow loves the trees & fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, ‘Go to sleep darlings, till the summer comes again.”
~ Lewis Carroll
Blessings & Peace for a snug winter retreat.
Wishing you peace and a happy hibernation…
Blessings to all.
Enjoy your hibernation. Thank you for all that you give. Wishing peace and joy for the new year.
Good thoughts for your and Soul-O’s hibernations. Don’t you wish you could curl up like that? A real going inward.
Wishing you a Merry Yule and all the best for 2024. Thang you for all your inspiring posts and musings.
My black cat is in exactly the same position here next to me.
As you go into your time of hibernation, the Winter Solstice will soon approach. May it’s light shine on you and your dear family. My favorite Celtic Winter Solstice blessing to you and yours:
Deep peace of the running waves to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
May the beauties of the earth, sky and sea
Fill your heart with lasting peace and contentment.
Happy holidays, Jude! Thanks for sharing your thoughts all year long. Hibernate and rest up.
Have a good break, Jude!
That moon glows! Happy Season & New Year Jude 🙂
Your recent posts introducing the Beings is a mighty offering to us/world. I will gaze at them thru the hibernation time, pondering on how you respond to your inner thread, vision, that you so seamlessly do.
Your trust in yourself is beautiful. How you follow your own thread/ideas.
Peace and Health to you and all.
Enjoy your Hygge, Jude. May these dwindling dark days bring you an inner Light…🌲❄️🪡🌚
Happy Holidays and all the best in 2024🎄

The three people–selves– captured in the sky, moon, and tree are breathtakingly wonderful! And with only four eyes! Love it! Thank you for sharing with your readers. Rest and refresh well. I look forward to seeing you in the New Year.
Have a lovely hibernation and a Peaceful Solstice & Restful Yule.
Enjoy your Yule Tide and your Winter’s rest. Reminds that we all should probably enjoy more time with cloth and paper in hand instead of phones and screens.
Thank you for all your interesting and inspiring posts. Have a lovely holiday season. All the best for 2024 ❤️🌟
