Still Here

I have a bad ankle. From way back when I fell on the ice while taking care of Mom in her final weeks.

The bad ankleUsually it just aches, sometimes keep me from sleeping well. Probably moving to a house with so many stairs was not the best idea. Didn't really occur to me. I always think I'm 20.

Quilting companionHe's not really helping.

We are moving toward December. A lot of things are preventing me from continuing here the way I would like to. It's probably not important that I list them. In any case, some time needs to be taken to consider them.  After ThanksGiving, I have decided to take the rest of the year away from the internet. I need less input for a while.  Time away from screens.  I'll be around. Planning to quietly participate in the Daily Dyer that Glennis is offering.  I think that will be enough.  To be on the other side of teaching for a while. Behind the scenes I will finish a big cloth and consider the move to WordPress/Feel Free because technical issues are hampering my ability to share media. A few stray crumbs may end up in the shop as I finish sorting through the stuff I brought here. A few stray snapshots on Instagram. Maybe.  But really less of everything. A quiet December then. To let the rest of 2020 go. December is my mending month, the robes are holding, this time it is self.

and so it goes

On the wall for a while longer.

On the big table

And now, not. Ready to stitch/quilt the edge. On the Big Round Table, in the room that was named for the Big Round Table.  This cloth would make an awesome table covering. But it is a blanket. What if it could be both? 

Begin

Anyway, it begins.

Earth Yellow

Earth yellow evolves

The mellow yellow of the pomegranate dye is developing nicely after being heated and cooled for a few days. Adding more skins as I go, the walnut part of the dye becomes less influential. I've yet to find a source here, I am still using the concentrate made last year before I moved. The color seems to develop in sympathy with the drying leaves here. The days wiz by, my mind has slowed to balance them.
