it was there

February 7, 2023 by jude

This one. Because it was in the pile of I Don’t Know. Created while I was considering Home. A lot. Pinned to the wall for so long, I got tired of looking. Waiting for direction. First. Everything Is Connected. Then. Holding on to Nothing. Finally, calling it New Eyes. Yesterday I stitched all those little stitches on either side that frame the intersection circles. I didn’t sleep so I spent some time last night considering continuing the border stitching in […]

One day, moment, into the next. A new Dot (a basket might be a dot that can hold more dots). An older technique, this is a form of Sketch Applique. But everything can be new again. There is always more to say. To do. repeating Please note that more older content is being added to the glossary. Including media. If you are using a touch screen, touching outside the box will close it. If you are using a mouse, moving […]

Of course, but for the record. One. Instead of many thread beads.

Day 10 Dot 3

January 10, 2023 by jude

A dot a Day? What if it’s just one Dot at a time? Somehow that frees my mind. I’m not really into disciplines. The number of dots is growing. That is fine.

I think I see you and you think you can see me

A painted dot. Actually this is an old one. Painting that is. Cropped to make a dot. A dot can bring focus. Make more of a point. And it’s looking at you as if to say, well everything you need to hear. Which, of course, you can already say to yourself. You don’t need me for that.

Dots in a Row

January 6, 2023 by jude

So so warm. Rain. This is as close as I can get to a snowman being, but I can stitch one.. No snow, that will change. We are home again. That will change. The Alphabet Soup quilt has changed hands. Cannot believe I took no picture. I think I was in a joyous fog. Bruno has us waiting. That will change. This is a Just Going patch. I have made many of these moon(dot) faced beasts. I realize they are […]

Day 2 Dot 2

January 2, 2023 by jude

Morning Fog… Last night, looking at yesterday’s dot, talking to myself… I have so many questions. I feel a bit outside of myself. Not sure what I mean by that. This morning wondering if this Bird Robe will become a dot diary for 2023. I really do have enough blankets. Many unfinished. Maybe dots will be a way to finish a lot of things. Even though a dot has always been a way to begin.

Day 1, Dot 1

January 1, 2023 by jude

Good Morning. We are here. I made my first Dot for 2023. I put it on my Bird Robe. It is a thought catcher, this robe. For the record. That’s it. Coffee next. Thank you for all your kind comments yesterday. My goal for this year. Keep it simple. And a dot is always a way to begin.

Press on

September 28, 2022 by jude

2008 ? ! I am really sorting through the past, trying desperately to open some space in my brain for newness. I came across this article from way back, Artful Blogging Magazine which has since been retired. Back when blogging was just blossoming. New. I was there. So were a lot of you. I kept the pages because they seem antique. Maybe I will use them to paint on. Or something. Over the years I have disengaged with being published […]
