I keep this Turkish tea glass and a folded index card by the sink. Big spiders come. I trap them with a glass and slide the stiff paper underneath. Put them outside.
This morning the sink was wet. And the index card has a graph paper design on one side. Some of the pattern came through where the water soaked in. I loved it.
I penciled in the bleed marks. Just to catch the effect of the sudden transparency, probably because it has been on my mind.
Then I went to find the stencil I use to dye the peace symbols. Noticing again it's transparency.
Nine for Peace from last year... mended because it wasn't perfect. Now, suddenly, what if? Bigger. With transparency. Transparency might be necessary for peace. At least the kind I imagine.
Hang in there — construction will eventually end and peace will reign again.
I keep my spider glass in the bathroom; November is the start of wolf spider season here and many mornings I find one trapped in the sink or bathtub.
Yes, here too
Transparency…yes, saying what we need. What we are frustrated with. Can’t mend something unless we know what needs to be worked on. Much love…
Right?
Jude~ Spiders I can deal with, but the 1.5 in. beetle of some sort – which was super fast! J. put that one out. We have a “vintage” tupperware cup for that purpose 😂
How did I miss the dyed peace symbol? Love it!
So much going in really I feel like I missed September…😂
how transparency allows us to see what was there all along… on the other side. a reminder that just because we can’t see something doesn’t mean it’s not present. nice to know the “design mending” of your home will soon be complete (for now). wondering how the changes in your space will impact your creations… x
I wonder what else is there?
If you have spiders inside it is because they have something to eat that is inside. I just let them be. Hornets have to be put out.
The big ones I put out…
smallish glass and stiff paper for the rather large wolf spiders or equally huge wood beetles. Oddly, the spiders don’t bother me but the wood beetles make an odd clicky sound and they fly…ewww. Hold tight Jude, sanity of a sort is on the horizon for you.
Spiders used to bother me but not so much anymore. I’ve drowned a few by accident…😮💨
This is the gentle hug I need this morning. Thank you.
😊
i hate construction insanity. fingers crossed for you around that chaos and the tech challenges.
Yeah, I need some alone and quiet.
Haha, a little net to catch the spiders.
Oh yes that old peace sign, we could use that, turn it around and you see growth . . . 🙂
I imagine it slowly spinning.
Love the transparency with your morning spider catch and release! 🕷️that’s my method too with spiders and little lizards. 🦎
Happy Super Harvest Moon!
💙✌🏼
An amazing moon, couldn’t sleep
I love the graph paper showing through, looks like running stitches on a Dot.
Sounds like your home is going to be lovely with the new renovations. It’s such a disruption but then when it’s over, poof, loveliness! I love seeing photos of your home, it’s so unique! Thank you for sharing your life with us.
💛
I like that a safety net appeared!
Peace. It’ll be ok.
Yes
We start our construction this week. It will be a week.
For sure…
