Good Morning.
No, this is not Soul-o. We caught sight of her last evening. Near sunset. Again this morning. Rolling in the catnip patch. The catnip has actually spread everywhere. She is young, She ran back into the forest but not right away. I talked, and there were a few minutes of sitting and looking and listening and rolls in the mint. What if she comes back? Soul-o didn't puff up or growl or anything. He is missing a few pieces but he still seems to know a girl when he sees one. Stay tuned...
Today I am gathering up some of the scraps of self. There are so many stories in here. I hope I can remember. The Basket is a symbol for me. Myself. And today. I think...a way to hug my selves. Before they wander off.
This place, here, is a basket too.
I sense that.
A basket with leather handles!! All filled to the brim with possibilities 🙂
I wonder what will happen with this kitty. Such a strong memory of when Soul-o came. Funny.

Yes, a forest cat!
We have a dove cage and, before the drought, a large catnip patch. Neighborhood cats would come and hang out with our cats. I think we were the neutral country of the neighborhood. Cats love the valerian too.
I’m think I’m past patching myself together; I’m giving away fabric and scraps. As they fade away so do I.
I love them for what they might become. Even if it’s compost ..
Forest friends…how nice!
Yeah, and she came back
I filled up a very large bag yesterday of fabrics I know I will never use, donating to a local Goodwill or Salvation Army store.
And still plenty left to stitch with!
The new cat looks like a sister to Soul-o 🖤
Yeah, amazing how they pile up .
They seem related.
I had the image of your basket like a cauldron and you could stir it and see what floats to the top, informing you where to begin. 🙂
Perfect!
So did ya try it? 😀
I did!
And I wandered off…
Centrifugial energy can do that… spin you off!
I like the thought (& imagery) of hugging our Selves…a way to be Kind🩷
Wouldn’t it be grand if you and Soul-O found a friend?
Rampant Catnip…sounds like an alternative rock band! 🤣🤣🤣
Now I’ll go see what the Moon has to say! 🤩
Imagining 2 black furry friends…
This catnip IS rocking!
Those scraps are like friends on the side-line, just waiting to join in your next thread trail.
I am talking to them right now.
“A way to hug my selves.”
Hugs, so wonderful, connecting all the parts into one 💙
What the world needs now…
Jude! Your basket runneth over! That little Moon in the center is inviting you…
Aww, Soul-o…I just planted Catnip in my Garden…Have not grown it in a long time…
It’s running wild here.
