Ding!
Build a fire...
I guess today A is also for action at the polls.
And then A could be for Applique. That's a big subject, applique, to me it is a kind of patchwork. I have just begun patching together the glossary page... it'll take a while. Life is like a pile of scraps, keeping my needle threaded, just in case.
Jude~ We took our Action on Saturday, the first day of in-person voting. It felt Awesome.
J. started saying a similar phrase “…and we’re off…” on the way to radiation a couple of years ago. Always said in the theme park, ride beginning kind of voice. Now we say it whenever we are heading out – to anywhere! Your phrase today reminds me of the way I Appreciate and treasure these lil things.
As Always…thanks.
Oh, and I love your fat lil “A”!
Action produces change, even if it takes longer than your lifetime to see it.
I lost the little fat A in a pile of scrap yesterday. It’ll appear, I’ll start another later, typical of my weary mind lately.
I’ve never thought of a fire built as being rich in depth, but yours is, Jude. And I love your wide ranging list of ‘A’ thoughts and meanings! I love the surprise I immediately experience. And suddenly a ‘P’ word circles around it…..’Possibility’.
maybe we need a community glossary!
i love random patchwork, both in cloth and in life. using what’s available. seeing how it might work. combining “ugly” scraps in a beauty-full way… cats are brilliant at seeing from fresh perspectives.
Sharon~ And it doesn’t even always end up ‘ugly’! I did this with the Medicine Bags I weave…I started with yarns and combinations I thought were ugly – but then they really weren’t at all! Thanks for you reminder of this good point. Frees us up, makes us braver maybe?!
hi, nancy! i didn’t know you were a weaver also! it’s so much about “what-iffing”, isn’t it? forever grateful to jude for that caught thought! hope your foot’s feelin’ better!
Sharon, I mostly weave little Medicine Bags and “plant” them w/ free tags at local trailheads. Very fulfilling.
Thanks. Going back to the doctor tomorrow. We’ll see.
ugly is a matter of perspective I suppose. It’s all about context. And usefulness is a big one.
A is also for the Allergic reaction I had to spending too much time with my face over the marigold dye pot. And Also the steaming eco print pot. Migraines are no fun, will leave the lids on today.
I had an allergy attack rummaging through the dusty scrap basket.
Cozy!
yes, I feel that
Just dipped down to 30 F…brrr. I can see the stars though. A is for awe this morning. 🙂
the clear night skies during a freeze are so beautiful
I tea dyed some scraps yesterday for more monochromatic log cabin blocks…. Hopefully to go with the avocado dyed bigger log cabin block.
We’ll see 🤞🏼
Love how soul – o finds the best spot! 🔥
💙✌🏼
That could work. ❤️
A few days ago I dumped my bag of scraps out on the floor. Looking for particular fabrics. About half are still there, I’m still looking.
I’m considering a permanent pile
I appliqued a green leaf to my linen of local leaves turned Autumn colors. Not sure what that means. Rebellion? Fighting a lost cause?
Gotta go vote. ACTION.
promise of just going
