Note to self: Don't stray too far, unless you are ready to get lost.
A few more stiches I took. And that was enough. It would make a nice pillow I thought. So I could hold on to it. But I'm not making a pillow. This one is previewing in the shop. And I will try to finish whatever else is half done here and do a shop update soon. I am reducing my prices in defiance. I need a fresh start. Or a clean break. Whatever it takes.
I have so many stories it could fill a book.
Oh! Thunder.
Big rain coming.
I'm all over the place but I'm not lost yet. And you?
So good to hear your voice today, Jude. May the day be as welcoming to you.
I enjoy talking, however it goes.
During a huge storm this morning here in the Elginbur, ON area, the skies were bold and orange and then red,,, followed by frightening thunder – but I was reminded that time will pass. And the quiet of reading your posts and seeing the chats from others – along with the beauty of your sketches and the gorgeous cloth art…just made my day!
Miss you – be well and rest!

I expected big storms, but there was only distant thunder
Start where you are.
Use what you have.
Do what you can.

Got it!
A gorgeous piece, rippled and all . . .
Love those little sketches (always fun to see them later emerge from cloth !
I love the ripple of some good stitch.
So good to see you here and hear your voice…husky and sexy 😉
Been thinking of you every day, hoping you were getting better.
I’m rather lost. This world created by humans is not terribly comfortable 😕 Thank goodness for the sanity of ragmates 💙
Cariad MAWR to you and Soul-O

This past week, my voice has been different each day. 😂
And yes, humans, wtf?
❤️
I’m currently scared of the state of the world out there .. but this community reminds me it’s not all so bad ! Creativity is everything and you give me such hope and a thread connection to sanity .. thank you from the bottom of my sagging heart 🫶x
It’s awfully scary. Bad medicine.
Let’s hold on.
I did miss hearing from you, glad to hear you are on the mend. My yoga teacher quoted her teacher:
Start where you are.
Use what you have.
Do what you can.
Be well, Jude.
❤️
Do you use herbs? Marshmallow root and fenugreek seeds are excellent for chest, lungs etc.

Yes, and they help, but there were multiple layers to my illness, peeling them away has been slow.
Beginning where I am…
So glad you’re on the mend. That breathing stuff can be a bear!
Really, eek.
Hi Jude
Hello .. good to hear you’re getting back on track .
Big hugs 🤗

Still dreaming…
Welcome back into sunlight and shadow. They go hand in hand. Education vs influence. What abou the one good teacher that influences us to keep searching. ?
Well, I’m thinking a lot about education lately, and many other things that seem to be on the line. 🤔
“She changes everything She touches, and everything She touches changes.” Not sure where I heard this but it calls to mind cloth and thread and how they transform in your hands as you work the needle. Good to hear your voice. Wishing you strength restored and heart as well.
I heard that and don’t know where either.
Been thinking of you. I am working on a map. 🙂
That made me laugh outloud…thank you!
Good and you are welcome!
Wandering thru the abyss of life; what an adventure it was when I look back on it.
We could all truly write a book!
Now I know that I am not the only one who missed hearing from you. And, sure enough, amid the pause, something fabulous came through your fingers!
It’s so sweet to know you are all still here.☺️
to hear your voice, to see soul-o, your drawings, thoughts stitched ‘n written… soul mending takes time. a slow stitch, moment by moment. it’s happening. and we are all with u… x
Pulling my pieces together…
In Japan with the silk study tour. Wandering and never lost. Good to hear from you!
Enjoy!!!
Healing takes time, be gentle with yourself. Taking time to be silent, silent having the same letters as listen…coincidence? But it’s good to hear from you and I’m please to hear you’re on the mend and enjoying your garden. 🙏❤️
Ha, yes… how things might happen…
Allergy season 🤧, so garden is a bit of an issue too.
Completely lost, tryng to navigate through the unknown. Making helps, keeping it simple. I also look for you every day. Keep well and know you are loved.
🤗
But here you are, I see you.
X marks the spot. Maybe a few Xs scattered around would be handy. Take care.
Maybe! ❤️
Not lost…yet. just been diagnosed with RA, but I’m dealing with it. No! Living with it! As best I can.
Your pillow is deeply beautiful, Jude. Wishing you wellness soon!💙
That runs in the family, somehow I escaped. I wish you ease…
Good to hear from you Jude! and that piece is beautiful 💙💙💙
After I finish a piece I have brain fog 😶🌫️
Speedy recovery ❤️🩹
Well I definitely have brain fog. .
We are all here, wishing you well. Missing your voice and Soul O’s presence. Yes, the abyss. resting and trying to find a new way.
Glad you are back when you can be back. Beautiful work.!
You should hear me try to sing …
Hey, Jude, nice to hear your voice, even if it’s a bit ragged. Glad you’re getting some energy back. Beautiful cloth! ❤️
It’s interesting, like having someone else’s voice…
Found you in Instagram. Sorry to hear you were not well, hope you are getting better, misses your postings!
Take care and resting ++❤️
Getting there.
Hey, Jude,
Just popping in to say, I’ve been looking for your post everyday and knowing health takes precedence over blogging. So, I’ve been content wandering around in your past post. After discovering the ( Looking for something) and of course your You Tube videos. Enjoying stitching too.
Blessings and hope you get better soon.
I’m close.✌️
Staring into the abyss. 😩
I get it!
Hello, Jude. 🍄
👋
oh, yeah, getting familiar with lost. but. then. i. get. found. sometimes it’s the long friendship of threads that does it. xo
The thread is a lifeline…❤️
