Nature Gives Free Classes

To learn is to be held long enough to consider. And reconsider

She scurried away before I had a chance to thank her.

How Humidity Might Inspire

The rain was monstrous. Flooding.

And now just clouds, and mold, and dank air. And a chill. Imagine that.

I have the kind of hair that frizzes and stands on it's own in this kind of humidity. It used to be very stressful when I was trying to look groomed for work. For a short while until I just said, too bad, take it or leave it. Most often, in summer, I walked around with a halo.

HOME WOMAN, continued from here... One strand of thread, split back stitch, which I call (so appropriately today) splitting hairs. Just letting the knots show here, and letting the ends do their thing. They will probably split on their own over time.

So anyway today is a good hair day. Because I like this.

Knots don't have to be hidden. They can be beautiful. If you have been through the Whispering Hearts class, you might Remember This?

Throwback Thursday

 

Soul-o. Our little rescue, back in January 2014. The inspiration for the Stray Cat Series. In the summer we call him Bugs.

Naturally nine

 

Seasons are passing so quickly. One turning into another. Lives lived. Lessons learned.

This morning, the last of the dyepot(poet) water. Continuing. With  an older idea, the more intentional ecoprint. Considering again, the redefinition of patchwork. Without seams. I'v been hovering here for a while now, show and tell soon.  This time and once again inspired by the ever Inspirational India Flint.  It is out of place for me to teach this.  For an introduction to bundling. You might consider this.  Learn. Respect. Support. And take it from there.  Which is the gentle natural order of things. At least in my (unwritten) book.

Today, I noticed and loved how the morning light made a little story more obvious. How cloth can soften hard lines simply by the way it falls. Because it can.

I thought again how cloth softens me. How that has happened. How I might learn again from that.

The curtain climber is wild today.  Must be the wind.

Doing the Ribbon Rag

Glennis sent some beautiful raggedy silk ribbon. Indigo.  I love it.

I am inspired by it.

As soon as I get it back I am going to play with it.
