everything can float
by jude
So I guess it could all be like a game, if you remove the drama, and just stand back and watch things floating around and wonder how they will settle out.

patchwork
by jude
Probably we don’t always say what pops into our heads. Maybe we just say what seems appropriate, clever or inspiring… I am wandering off from that ,in my mind, today. Trying to loosen up. I am 72. 7+2 is 9. Nine inspires a personal kind of order for me. I can find 9 where others can’t. It is quite chaotic and comforting at the same time. There is a sense of peace in that.

expanding

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.

Not quite Spring
by jude
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.

Expecting Snow
by jude
A question. There was a question… And now a response: I was going to make a video but now they are predicting 4-12″ of snow and very high wind and I need to get to the post office and the market and I am sure everyone else has the same idea… so maybe later. Every bit of this one is important for me.

A heart’s season
by jude
And with a few more stitches, I just about finished it. After some silly bitching about the coming snow, suddenly I said to myself It’s Spring in My Heart. Resulting in a few scattered seeds and a bit of new growth. Then I went outside to bring in some wood before the snow tonight.

March is a tease
by jude
Well here it comes again. Snow, tomorrow. And then, again next week. It is warm enough to be outside midday, walking, but then always below freezing at night. A thought caught yesterday… Sort of combines center with foundation. As one piece. Thinking of tearing some thin cloth into squares, then playing what if in the centers, then foundation piecing around them. I’ll try. One at least. I will work with colorlessness. A Sanity cabin maybe. Holding old questions in some useful way.

how it might continue
by jude
Going might transform this cabin thing. As a less obvious cabin. As a more obvious holding. A frame. And just a path to building something. indigo magic Indigo is magic. practice What if inbetween is more important than we think? What’s the rush? A More Ancient Light. That’s what came to mind. (I whisper a lot in the morning, the Man here sleeps in, perhaps that is how cloth whispering evolved, ha!)
