yesterday and today, repeat…

January 26, 2023 by jude

Yesterday. The snow began beautifully. This morning, after rain all night. Another tiny spring. Big Cold is approaching. This has been such a strange winter. We undid the offer we made to the neighbors to walk and ride their ATV through the property, which was made during the deep covid time when their kids were home from school and stuck in the small property with no outlet. I spoke softly, about the need for privacy. The need to leave the […]

Storm brewing. Rushed down to drop my car for inspection, to a nearby mechanic, his business RUSH Auto, ha. The right place, never fails if you get there at the crack of dawn. First mechanic that has never tried to cheat me in some way. Gosh, I so appreciate that. Just that, is mostly all I ask these days. The last few days, challenging. Exhausted in so many ways. And the Soul-0, reminding me, just find a sunny spot when […]

Wool. So different. So much, shelter from the storm. I think this might be the first Open Air Ritual for this one. It seems to belong here. But then it has been through many a storm, just being worn. It wraps around and around. No cold gets in. 28″ x 98″ plus fringe. Of course it has been washed many times and was probably bigger at one point. Cannot remember a planned size, was using the yarn at hand and […]

Rainy Rainy Tuesday

October 4, 2022 by jude

I actually wrote rainy rainy Monday first off. I have some fairly funny stories about forgetfulness. I should share them before they seem less funny. I quilted this much yesterday on Alphabet Soup. The remnants of hurricane Ian have reached the Northeast. Looks like 3 days of rain. Like real rain. I never liked rain so much. Woke to the sound of it. More quilting today for sure. And there was a new Moon Cabin yesterday because it has been […]

Yeah, so

Yesterday we got boosted. I feel like crap. Is it the weekend already? Everyone I speak to is either sad or mad. The deer missed one. Or, then, I thought, they left me one. And that made me glad. Glad feels good. A relief. I took this picture because it seemed a nice way to capture the idea of community. All at different stages of whatever it will be, but still together somehow on the path to how it will […]

Filling up with words

June 29, 2022 by jude

I may just call her Done aka Singing Woman. She ended up resting here for a while… My cloths have become kind, they often hold one another. Until it is time to go. While small cloths are about being held, large cloths are about holding. Blankets, not art. It is important to me that they not be “art”. It is hard to explain. But someday I will be able to find the words. If I live long enough. Weird summer. […]

Just Going

May 13, 2022 by jude

Excuse the break. It is messy and noisy and I’ve no mind for cloth or even thought catching. No quiet except at the end of the day when we take a walk through the woods. I really do like it as a skeleton. And speaking of such things, apparently there was, once upon a time, a snake (?) in that soggy old roof.
