Time brings easier answers.
He seems to be trying out all the baskets here.
Seeing what fits.
I'm considering face in new ways.
By getting outside my box/self.
A few new thoughts in Part 1 of Patchwork in Perspective today.
And it finally stopped raining.
The Real kind.
I just can't catch her.
She was right here on the deck but I just couldn't shoot a pic fast enough.
She is living in the gully and I see her three or 4 times a day now. Closer each time.
Such a thrill to connect with the wild.
New content in class today.
Oh Soul-o...
Speaking of boxes, can this even be comfortable?
Still he's been sleeping like this all morning.
I am thinking about the boxes we put ourselves in. Maybe it's a lot like this. We adjust. Stepping back, perspective, helps put it in context. He's managing center I said to myself.
A square is a box. But I have found many ways around that.
Considering something brings focus. Reconsidering can soften the edges of that.
Because sometimes focus (thinking) hurts.
...from both sides now.
Suddenly, I've made peace with this one.
Now back to the sea.
Some quiet time away for a few days I think.
I'm beat.
Before I go, a note about my FREE ENOUGH Final Online Sharing Series.
Sorry if I become confusing, but I'm just being me, doing the best I can day to day, working with what I have and trying to share it. And I'm getting old and tired of a lot of other bullshit.
Part 1 - THOUGHT CATCHING, has been in progress since April 1. And it has turned into a slow conversation. At least with myself and with others who might chime in. It will, I've decided, continue as a thought catching session, in the background, through the entire series. Not so much about making, but thinking. I closed the enrollment at one point but will be opening it up again because many have asked, it can be a a good base to get juices flowing... and I am using it to organize the glossary for my book. It's in the shop as a late offering, the only change is that I am no longer adding folks to the member directory.
Part 2 - SMALL CLOTH, begins in July and will go on sale later today. Focused on hand piecing and loose stitched components. A result of simplifying my approach, this is now part 2 of 3 and will run longer than planned... July-October. If you have already paid for this segment I will send you access info through email soon.
Part 3 - BIG CLOTH, not listed in the shop yet, but soon. The last leg will most likely begin in December and run through February 19th, my 69th birthday, the day I will consider it all ENOUGH.
Please note, upon purchase, if you choose the shop, you should receive your access information immediately. If not, contact me.
And now to the sea...
We are on the path to June.
A cold May but it's OK.
I'm gardening small this year. So many little things that I started here along the path, not sure they would make it through winter, they did! And I'll start a pot of indigo today. Small and portable seems good to me lately. Maybe carry it with me. Like thoughts.
Miss Aloe. I put her outside a little too early this year. It looks like she will make it.
I cobbled a few scraps together. They came together so nicely. I named them to remember.

Learn. Remember. Evolve.
There is a new post in class today. And the next part of the Series, Patchwork in Perspective, will go on sale tomorrow. How it might go has changed a bit. I will probably post the details of that here tomorrow, before I disappear for a few days. To be by the sea.
Good Morning.
I may not be gardening much, but I am composting...
A little patience yields some good shit. You can quote me on that.
Just here.
I wish for you all, a day like today, here.
Always Just Growing...
Coming and Going.
I'm sad that I have missed the first dandelion dyeing this season, but there is salad. Wild salad with chives.
And cloth. And cat.
I've posted new content in class
and added a work on your own "Free Enough" class, Considering Weave, to the shop. Part 2 of Patchwork in Perspective, focus on hand piecing will be available for sign up soon.
You can read more about Free Enough here.
If you are wondering about the countdown clock in the sidebar, I am counting down the days until my 69th birthday.
If the path before you is clear,
you are probably on
someone else's.
