Spirit Cloth

The Big Rain Day

Yesterday was a  big weather day.

All day.  First big wind. We heard that the road out was blocked by a big tree. We didn't check.

It was a pajama day.

And it was a dyeing day. In the spirit of the season.  All day, slowly, a dot at a time. Till the vat got tired. A scrap can be like a dot for a dot might be any relatively little thing. I pinned a cloth over the Lion Quilt and then pinned the dyed components to dry. Because I ran out of tacks.

We ended up with a lot of water in the garage, around midnight.  Had to clear the leaves from the drain outside and then mop the water.  I did not take a photo because it wasn't pretty.

This morning, Lo and Behold!

Yesterday's Dance of the Dyed Dot has spilled over!

 

Simply Tuesday

There is a big storm moving through. Big.

I lit the pumpkin late last night.

I picked the last of the raspberries, I think, as the wind kicked up. In the spirit of sympathetic evolution, I've a bit of red thread ready.

October Rolls On

It's like this here today. Mist. Way warm.

I thought I was done with this one but I realized it had become out of season.  So I think I will fix that. Lure it into the day.

The path in and out.

I didn't think we would be here this Halloween. But here we are.

How Small Helps

Too much going on here.

Just can't get to anything.

Oops! Not so fast...

Just to keep Going,

Just to be here.

Looking through my Windows

Still warm, not filling the feeders much yet.

Just a few crumbs so they might practice knowing where to come.

A bit of thinking about how looking is not always seeing. If seeing means knowing. But all that became very confusing since knowing is really more like believing what you see.

So I stitched a bit on Window Woman. Even calling her Eye Woman for a moment.  They are so related.

Tried to create a sense of perspective by using the spacing between the square rings vibrating outward around the little nine that becomes heart over and over.

And I drew this for the News and Help page for the new Feel Free Classroom site which I sort of completed yesterday as well.  I will probably open it sooner rather than later. Even though it's really nowhere yet.

Nowhere yet. Something to practice getting used to.
