Spirit Cloth

Where she is today...

 

It's spring, yes, warmer during the day, but still below freezing at night.  Seems that's about to change. A welcomed change since the wood pile is shrinking. I made a little video last night but I can't seem to publish it here so I'll try Instagram and just say that She's OK, this stray, and I like to move her around. It's her nature to adapt to a life in pieces.  To be OK.

I will be creating a Home Page for PART 1 of the new (free enough)sharing series over at Feel Free. The page link  will show up in the sidebar at Feel Free on April 1. And also here. That page will be a home for all the links to the posts made for the series. This place will still be a journal of days and also a Gateway to the "classroom".  So if you are subscribed here, you will be notified of the newest content. You will also be notified if you subscribed to the Feel Free Newsletter.  So it's up to you, if you are signed up for the series, you can subscribe here, there, or just visit the Feel Free site and click on the Link Part 1 in the sidebar, at your leisure. 

I have still to contact a few folks but I'm getting there.  The Series will open on schedule, April 1, but very slowly. I like the number 3 so I will let it span 3 months, April -June with space between posts for just going. I will be closing enrollment at the end of today, so I might concentrate on getting everyone connected to the class site and give myself some time to get started.  Enrollment will open again mid April for those who want to sign on and catch up on their own.

See you in April

ok

There's too much glare in this room. I need to move back to the studio.

This Old Heart

I must be getting old...

 

But then, NAH....

My heart is at a crossroads.

Spring comes so slowly.

I erased and replaced as I was dreaming.

I am still having trouble reaching many of you who have already donated and signed up for the "free enough" Part 1, Patchwork in Perspective.

So, if you indeed have filled out the sign up form and expect to be part of this "class" (not loving that word) and you have not received your password information and the link to the test page, please email me and let me know. I've heard from about 75% of you and really do not want to delay the start date but I don't want to leave any of you RagMates behind. Thanks so much...

 

I can't go any faster...

...at the speed of thought then...

(I am about to send out another email correspondence for those of you who have joined part 1-Patchwork in Perspective.  If you do not receive the mail today, check your spam folder first and then let me know if you still don't find it.)

Looking Through so much

 

The in between days

It's cold, but then it's not but you can't get excited.

Because it's cold again.

But the Daffy's, they say it.

Spring. I look to them for the true sense of season.

I did not send out a class email or a Feel Free Newsletter. Murphy's Law has taken over and there couldn't be more things happening at once here. In the not-to-far distance I hear big machines ripping every tree from a 2 acre patch of forest so some one can put up a big fucking(sorry, I'm only human)-ugly-ass-mansion. But that's life and I'm still glad to be living it. Let it be a Daffy Day.

 

I just looked up...

Moth.

I'm going to do my taxes today.  Over the weekend I hope to get a new Feel Free Newsletter published  and another email test sent with some more info for those of you who have already signed up for Part 1, Patchwork in Perspective.  I will announce that here so in case you do not get it, you can let me know. Again, I am basically away from here until Fool's Day, but will pop in now and then when necesary to keep you posted. (in case you did not read the last post)

Turning

So here comes the sun.

And the sense of warming that spring sun brings.

I like this picture above because of it's simple composition that includes the corner sun we draw as kids. Did someone teach us that?

I spent some time stitching on the Bird Robe yesterday. Just continuing with the quilting which never seems to finish. I've worn it for like 15 years now and  it is still basted in many places. It's form as useful need not be finished in traditional standards and that thought is very key to my perspective these days.

And these days are becoming overfilled.  I will be away from here, mostly, now until class begins in April. Some pics on Instagram. I'll be in touch with all you Rag-mates and Piece-makers as things evolve.  And I'll be back here again full time with the new month when this place will again be a journal of days and the Gateway to Patchwork in Perspective/ part 1.

 

A loose patch goes a long way...

Patches of sunlight.

These pics. Saved for this rainy sun-less, but not really, day.

But it's warmer. And I did not have to be told that the days have become longer. My alarm is simply sunrise.

She is OK

 

In other wor(l)ds, I am ok...

Or she stands for that. She rests on another cloth for now.

I'm ready to explain a lot of the unexplained.

...of course I'll be talking too, one thin(k)g at a time.

Too much computer these last days... a few days off.
