Re frame

March 24, 2023 by jude

A small story cloth. In between busy moments. I let it go quietly in the shop. I think more about quietly. Almost as much as I think about Kindness. This one, called Path, aka as Kindness is Larger than Wisdom. And now just reflecting on Wisdom vs Kindness, how one might be a form of judgement and the other need not be. Maybe Kindness overcomes judgement. When it is done quietly. This, a surprising moment, I think because of […]

Morning has broken…

March 20, 2023 by jude

I didn’t sleep. But it is such a beautiful day, I’ll just float through it. I have a thing for red knobs, I painted all of them red when I moved in. Replaced these, this piece of furniture left by the previous owner. The angle of the sun has changed. Both sun and moon shine on my face through this window. That’s a bit of Richard Carbin’s work on the wall. he is on the resource page (sidebar). Magic Feathers. […]

Time is so short

March 19, 2023 by jude

An old photo. From way back when we were living mostly in one room, sleeping on the floor next to the fire, to save money on fuel. Just to see if we could. Soul-o recently rescued. Still have the cat, the quilt is still not finished (I have yet to put its story here). And we have been here in this new place, well, finishing up our 4th winter here. And even more amazing, some of you have been with […]

expanding

March 18, 2023 by jude

But then, shrinking. Today, just thoughts about framing. Again. Because my favorite way to build is to use center. begun The heat blower went on, I will continue below. just go I will probably call this one Mind Cabin. The porch skylight was an interesting frame this morning. Probably because of my frame of mind. The sky was expanding while the snow was shrinking… but then it was just my perspective.

Nothing Needed

No filter. Except me. And then for no reason, except to see… Grow is on the table. There are 2 red rings. Suddenly, I began to imagine their basket function. Maybe as seed collectors. And it is the year of the dot. ring of seeds The bowl with the eyes… A beautiful gift. Thank you. It will be part of my first table-setting.

It snowed way more than expected. We had nowhere to go. So we just watched and I stitched a few 2″ squares. I feel a new Frame of Mind forming.

mid storm

March 14, 2023 by jude

I wake up. I pee. I feed Soul-o. He pees. The power goes back on. I look outside, about 2″ and snowing. A lot. I make oatmeal and tea. I notice the tiny solar lights I placed in the clay lantern is still glowing and there was no sunshine yesterday. The sun comes up even though I cannot see it. I eat the oatmeal. I don’t feel like tea, so I save it for later and make coffee for a […]
