The moonlight was amazing last night.
Taken from the bedroom window upstairs...that's the new path I shoveled to the birdfeeder.
It might not snow again until tonight.
I feel a newsletter coming on. Slowly. I feel a bit frozen in time.
A little Winter Wishing happened yesterday.
He loves my old woven things... Not too heavy, but warm. I call him Bear lately.
The pillow needs some mending. The chair too. Life is a lot about mending.
I’m days behind in this slow January. Love the video! Rhu gets called bear all the time, since his name is Rhune Bear, all kinds of variations on that. Peace to you and Sol-o and the world. 🧡
Winter has loosened it’s grip today, warm rain, washed away my foggy mood.
Yes I think of him as Rhu Bear.
Soul-o is just curled up so much lately, hibernating style.
Peace really. At least we can dream.
Jude,
please do you know where Grace Forest publishes? Is it okay?
Thanks Lada Charvátová, Czech Republic

Just wondering how you heat hot water at your home. Our water heater died today, I really miss hot water.
I have an electric water heater. One of the newer things in this house, Installed not long before I moved in last year. Efficient and inexpensive. I guess I could use the woodstove for emergencies.
(((Jude & your little bear))) stay warm!
Like bugs in rugs!
I grew up watching over your shoulder hold cloth and give it magic. Learned so much. So grateful. And here you are making fun with magic in window art. Cute.🙋♀️ YouTube opens so much for so many, my almost only tele time. And not too spoiled by interference. Soul-O gets all the best spots!😼
There are so many ways to create, even just thinking seems enough sometimes.
I think of so many possibilities when seeing and reading your posts and looking at your pictures but i am not done hibernating. Looking back is often a bit sad for me. Not in a sense of regret but more so as (bitter)sweet memories of times that are just gone. Good and bad….poof.
I feel like bear and i like the “Winter Wishing”. I imagne beeing that moon in the middle, still, while a lot is going on around me.
Thank you for going on Jude!
Yes, I feel that sadness too but I am trying to make it useful somehow.
I like your words about Winter Wishing…
That moon. I made a wish. So far it hasn’t come true.
I get that…
Winter brings reflection; in the mind and in the rainwater.
Reflection is something to think about more in terms of image.
Jude~ What a beautiful snow-moonlight view and sweet Soul-o, looks so cozy. I remembered this video. I don’t always, but this one I did and I remember the ‘fun’ of it.
Be well
xo
We been through time together.
Mending is adding value, and time, and love.
And accepting change
Indeed.
I’m not good at looking back…I torture myself with should haves and ruminations of regret. I wish I could be kinder to myself…something to work on.
Teresa~ Me too.
Yes, I’m really working on it.
Love these pictures, looking back looks lovely from here 😍
Wow thousands! Really…that must be so nice to be able to listen to all those thoughts recorded 🤔
I guess it’s been 20 years or so of doing all this recording
Hi Jude. It’s bitterly cold here in Nova Scotia. Strong winds and not much snow where I am. I remind myself that I can handle cold and to find the joy in it because the extreme summer heat we’re likely to experience again is frightening. Mending! Yes, so much of it. A beautiful photo and cozy Soul-o. Precious. Thanks for being out there Jude.
I’m needing less and less heat. How we adjust by just going.
Soul-o looks to be hibernating like a bear 😁👍🏻
Amazing photo Jude with the trees and snow with your path! 💙🕊️
Yeah, it’s cold, he’s in hibernating mode.
It was a beautiful moonlit night
Such a peaceful picture with Bear and I would like such a pile of snow too.
Happy New Year.
I’m a bit over snow at the moment, enough already .
The video captures so much about your work — layering, see thru one thing to another, using the hand to leave a mark. Loved it.
I remember the moment of making it.
such a beautiful message here, very glad this landed in my inbox today.
❤️
So good you are back happy new creative year….
Happy New Year to you
Girl! You shoveled all that?! Looks like a delightful trek to take.
Looking back can bring clarity, but I find it’s another dimension, now gone…
Oh, that’s nothing, I shoveled the road in too.
I sense it is just a layer of story. Sometimes buried but not gone.
WOW what a beautiful view !.( My grandson is called Bear)
It’s a compliment, Bear…
Blessings and good morning Jude.
What a lovely awakening, to see your post and be celebrating my husbands 80th Birthday and the cherry on top of today
Our daughter’s 53rd birthday.
Many blessings are remembered for today.
I’m so thankful to be able to enjoy them all.
Pat, in Ohio
A good day then…
