Spirit Cloth

October

 

A bit like these tomatoes, that's how I feel.

The ones that struggle between seasons. Trying to hold on and let go at the same time. It's getting cold and I picked everything down below in the raised bed, so I can let go of the stress about critters and just let them roam and graze and ready themselves for winter. I will just watch.  There is still stuff growing up on the deck planters.

Japanese Indigo setting seed. We'll make it they said.

I did some dyeing yesterday, but I'll save it. Trouble loading photos today so I will leave it for another day. It's crisp and clear and I will mend the sweaters. The moths have been busy.

 

After Pancakes

 

Thank you for your warm Birthday wishes. It was a quiet day with a bit too much food.

And wine.

And a bit of mending in between.

An Oven Mitt Makeover...

Long time Travelling Companions.

Then a note to self, make yourself useful in some small way, each and every day.

Later...

An unmatched pairing.

Sometimes

Sometimes you think you are just over your head.

But then, when you stand back, put it in perspective, you realize it is just a frame of mind.

Feel Free went wacky again. Yesterday, later in the day.

A software update wiped out all my audio fixes and put the cute little audio player back but in the wrong places. I had a small meltdown. None of you have ever experienced those. (that might make an interesting audio)

The man says they are not pretty.

I made a late day post which expressed a bit of hopelessness. I deleted it.

I stayed up all night to patch it up. To prove myself wrong.  

She patched another hole, and so it goes.

You make a promise, you do your best to keep it.

New content in Part 2/ Small Cloth. Rolling.

A Patch is a Patch

The Wedding Quilt (made before I was documenting such things) is wearing thin. It was a thin summer cloth to begin with. Only 2 layers, the patched top and a flannel sheet backing.  No batting. It accepts mending so well. 

The old Square Patch was almost worn Away.

The new Patch is a Circle.

Mismatched, Perhaps. 

Useful though, then...Beautiful and Crazy wHole.

Puzzle Solved. Square Peg. Round hole. Yes we can.

A Harvest Moon Patch then.  Because Time Passes. We learn. Reap what we sow.

Sew. Ha!

Face Making

There were no heads on ye old key holder.

I'm not sure what happened to them. They rolled off somewhere.

Yesterday, The Man made two paper mache balls.

Moon heads. I said that. They need faces. He said that.

We took a selfie, printed it small and cut out the faces.

And here we are...

That was fun.
