Rain.
Way too much of it. And no warmth.
It's like this. And it's daytime. It makes me crazy.
I took a pen to some loose Sun Moon Stars patching from a while back.
The sun has a new logic to it. I forget what it actually looks like. A loss of memory can encourage new form.
It's cool. And it keeps raining.
No new planting. Just Continuing.
I've nothing new to show you. Except this.
I'm resting in the green. It was a soft weekend. No news. Just green.
Have a good weekend.
Yesterday. I spent the day being kind.
Purposefully and Unconditionally, yet Quietly kind. And I felt so cleansed at the end of it all. Then I stitched.
And suddenly my video mojo returned.

So just that. One strand this time. To retain lightness. Sometimes, a lot of times, stitching overpowers design. Quilting especially. Sometimes by not being visible or at least being aware of presence, sympathetic to possibility, a stitch can be kind to the eye and to the cloth. And still hold things together.
It's raining again.
Roof.
A roof is about protection.
I used 3 strands of floss for the running walking stitch roof. One stitch at a time. I wanted the stitch to be heavy enough to have as much importance as the other components. I outlined the area with a single strand of red stitch before filling it in. I usually pull the outline thread out after filling in the field. But. I don't know this time.
Note to self: Something about this piece reminds me of the old needlework samplers. The roof triangle also seems like an amulet.
If the path before you is clear,
you are probably on
someone else's.
