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.

Not quite Spring

March 15, 2023 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

March 13, 2023 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

March 10, 2023 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

March 9, 2023 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

March 8, 2023 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!)

earth cabin

February 25, 2023 by jude

Season churns. Big wind yesterday. 16 degrees this morning. Snow Monday or so they say. Glancing out the kitchen window. Noticing. The tarp blew off the wood pile again. Last time I found it quite far away. Many birds and small beings live in there. A log cabin of sorts. I laugh. It is like a critter hotel. I bet they are cold this morning. I will bring in a lot of wood. We will be below freezing for a […]

The way it might go and go

February 22, 2023 by jude

As imagined, back here, making that small cabin bigger in some different way… There were, already, 5 scraps “cabined” together. That left 4. OK. Perfect. A frame, cabin style. As opposed to my regular Frame of mind method. Like this. Framing is so interesting. Sometimes we do it without thinking about it as part of composition. This seems a good time to open a link to one of the posts I did in Small Cloth. Little Windows. cabin framing
