And here we are.
OK.
Soul-o has stabilized, he is eating and drinking and gaining weight. I have kept him indoors and he has settled into that. He is older now and seems content. I am so relieved. What a nightmare.
I continue with the Legs Series. I have taken interest in repetition for the moment, and slow variation , because it is a soft becoming. Simple is good right now, a basic thought and then small steps to newness.
This one, Midnight Legs. For going places in her dreams. She will not be in the shop. She became a gift and has begun her travelling.
Still overwhelmed with a lot to do. But here now, I think. In whatever form it takes. It cooled down but the storm rolling up the coast from Florida is dumping an awful lot of rain. Steady and heavy since late yesterday evening. But I live on a hill. For now.
Ooh, wonderful, what a relief. Sending love to you and Solo.
😁
The cat went here and there
And the moon spun round like a top,
And the nearest kin of the moon
The creeping cat looked up.
Black Minnaloushe stared at the moon,
For wander and wail as he would
The pure cold light in the sky
Troubled his animal blood.
Minnaloushe runs in the grass,
Lifting his delicate feet.
Do you dance, Minnaloushe, do you dance?
When two close kindred meet
What better than call a dance,
Maybe the moon may learn,
Tired of that courtly fashion,
A new dance turn.
Minnaloushe creeps through the grass
From moonlit place to place,
The sacred moon overhead
Has taken a new phase.
Does Minnaloushe know that his pupils
Will pass from change to change,
And that from round to crescent,
From crescent to round they range?
Minnaloushe creeps through the grass
Alone, important and wise,
And lifts to the changing moon
His changing eyes. W.B. Yeats
oh thank you very much!
So glad Soul-o is improving. You don’t need more loss atm. My big fear during COVID was my elder cat would die..that would have been the final straw. Love to watch your work each week 🌻🐈⬛
I feel very grateful
Midnight is a turning point…..beautiful. Every day will feel better as Soul-o heals.
oh good thought!
What a relief Soul-o is mending. Happiness.
Legs and repetition — Walking. Moving forward.
yes walking, step by step by step…
Thanks for all the knowledge u have given to ur followers
I am taking a class in Indigo at an art center in Raleigh NC
I would like to copy ur moon
Would u share the process of blank round space
Thanks in advance
Have a cat that helped me get thru the past tumultuous
years
She is 12 years old and understand how important they r in our lives
Hope yours makes a speedy recovery

I know how special
the basic shibori process is called itajime clamped resist. You can find it all over the internet. I have recently begun to talk more about my approach to dyeing on my private pages, the forever zone, and you might also take a look at my friend Glennis’s site, she has some free classes and I learned the basics of the technique from her.

Good news all around. I wondered if Midnight Legs was a moth, given they seem to come out at night.
That crossed my mind…
Jude, I’m curious if the winged beastie is actually a wasp with the white stripes.
Am happy soul-o is better, therefore you’re better.
Ha, that’s a thought, but no I think just a butterfly with a magis soul.
Midnight Legs 🧡 Rhu is older now, and more content with being indoors these days, too. He’s not a terror when I keep him in, anymore, which is a relief!
Yes, there has been a shift…
It’s good to hear that he’s on the mend. I can’t think of much else when one of mine is hurt or ailing.
Yeah, it took my breath away.
A cat who swallowed a butterfly, or a butterfly riding a cat. I’ll wonder…
I think they might be becoming one.
Love the self with a butterfly within. Ready to fly. ❤️ 🦋
Indeed!
ha! those crossed paws say it all. we are in the process of moving to a forested area, with an older cat who’s always loved to hunt. hoping that he too will happily settle into being an indoor cat…
As they age they change, like us.
Stay strong Soul-o and you too Jude. Glad to hear that the heaviness has lifted somewhat.
there is lightness, so needed to float through these crazy days
Yay! for soul-o
So thankful the storm went east of us, and hope it weakens a lot as it travels up north 🤞
I fear a horrid hurricane season.
So happy for you that Soul-o is on the mend. Blessings on you both!
Midnight Legs is a beauty. Slow in small increments is working well these days.
yes, very small journeys but still going
Jude (on a) Hill and her Stray Self, Soul-O
All the rains were sucked into the storm and brought to you (& I must water my gardens because the plants are fading fast in this heat!!)
But for now, I quietly stitch stars and dream dreams…
(I’ll include good dreams for you and Soul-O —so very glad he’ll be OK!!)
💙😻💚
good thing we are on this hill
Çok sevgili Jude,
I am very very happy to hear he is doing fine.
Lots of love from sunny Samos ❤️🍀🧿
Hey
Teşekkürler
❤️
Happy to read all the paws are doing well…………….
yeah…happy
Midnight Legs…all the more beautiful for being gifted. Wish we had some of that rain. Here it is day after day after day of 100* and the Gardens are doing their end-of-Summer thing. To Everything there is a Season …
it is seriously tropical here… the garden is just one mound of green.
Oh what a relieve your boy is going better now.
Thanks for updating and take good care for both of you.
will do
So happy he is on the mend-love the gift cloth!
yesterday was a good day, heart filled
Love that contented crossed paws cat!! And glad Midnight legs found her forever home!
yeah that is always a comfort sign.
Phew – so glad to hear Soul-o is ok again. Its such a stress when our animal companions are not doing well.
It was awful
