When You Can’t Sleep

Sleep has become a real problem.  I think of Michelle.

Instead of stressing, now I just get up.

In this case I just kept stitching.  Only with the idea of using this woman alignment in a different way.   Stands with Trees was the thought that emerged, because I have been wanting to use the wrong side of that brown print for a tree for a while and then while sorting I found this beautiful Moon dyed by Glennis so long ago.

 

A new sense of place and season emerged.

This morning I am thinking...Time To Grow New Eyes.

Cats, on the other hand... never seem to have this sleep problem. Anytime, anywhere.

Maybe there is still time to learn this.

  1. Oh my… Stands with Trees, really love this. A nutritionist I used to work with advised me to take magnesium to help with sleep. I had bad insomnia last week starting right before the time change. With the time change on top of that, I got really exhausted and my sleep was terrible. Starting to get back to something better. And, sweet Soul-o. 🧡

    I love hearing your story behind the creating process of your pieces. I don’t feel like I have any deep meaning in what I make… just keep going!

  3. A beautiful piece. The large crescent moon works so well. And all the symbols held aloft…I’ve been sleeping much better recently, I don’t know why. I wish the same for you.

    So MUCH her(e). That tree knot above her right ear 🤎🤎🤎 That MOON 🌘
    Sorry to hear about your sleep troubles, and we commiserate, relentless wind keeps us awake 🙁
    Love to you and Soul-O 💚🌱

      All the little puzzle pieces came floating in on the stream of Consciousness.
      There is also some animal in the bedroom wall.😂

    This piece is beautiful and deep. Only you could have created it. Thank you for the inspiration you provide with each post.

    I think this is my favorite piece of all you have done, Jude … and that’s saying a lot! That gorgeous CG rescue t Moon, and green snowflake!! Wow.

        Surrendering to wakefulness can be a good way to go.

        She is fierce. Stand back, indeed! Thanks for running through the symbolism of the cloth. It adds a lot to my viewing. Fringe as a reminder to continue? Love it.

        Your “Women who Stands with Trees” is a beautifully inspired work.
        Tell us don’t despair,
        women have been on the frontlines— marching, organizing, refusing.
        Good to hear it’s giving you new ideas!
        Peace woman!
