Undoing Again

No more ThreadCrumbs Game as we know it.

I sent out a group Game email this morning after so many unsuccessful attempts to get in touch. And as I suspected, got numerous notifications of in valid email addresses. There were lots of names in that basket. Maybe too many. Too big a basket. So OK. Poof. No more of that. Nice idea but not working. I'll host a lottery here on the blog once in a while.

Like now. Here's one. Ring of Joy. FREE (just to celebrate that). About 4" square-ish, hand stitched on a loose dyed patch of linen. (Indigo, the home grown kind)You could carry it with you, it's small. Or let it grow into something larger. Email me. Names in a smaller basket.  Drawing at midnight. Oops. Game over.

I'll keep the other 2.

I drew this yesterday.

The beast has spoken.

I will also be closing the Spirit Cloth Shop soon as well.

New Eyes

Continuing.

I made 2 videos. The first one had the wrong focus setting so I had to scrap it.

Here is the best still I could capture from the beginning and I'll just talk about it.

And here is the second part where I caught my focus error.

So this morning it is looking back. And I am too. Looking back and not sure of what's ahead. 

Maybe salad. I'll start with that.

Have a good weekend.

Good Morning

It's going to be a hot one. But hotter elsewhere.

My old wood stray from way back.

I look and see a move from standing to going, the stray self form. How that will change now.

This one, here, and then here, has a lot more stitch than expected. Probably because there has been so much time sitting. A strange summer for me. But the solid stitch, the feel of it. I kind of need this density of BasketSelf right now. (I'm gathering more thoughts about that personal symbol) The pic was taken on the rail at sunrise and then flipped upside down to have the light rising from the center. A cloth rise. And yes I'm up and around. A bit.

"I'm not myself lately" I whispered to myself.

Oh Ha, I laughed out loud, "how can that be?". No excuses.

Paper has been easy lately.

oh yay, an audio, maybe I'll try video tomorrow.
