A day of HeavenWeather.
The day I dreamed of all thru Winter.
Hot Bright GentlyBreezy Cloudless Bright Blue indescribably Lovely Day.
Recent stitchings+makings pics, dancing thru Heavenly Friday Garden pics. Wherein the Leafies are Bustin through with such relieved Gusto, after waiting in the branch-wings such a long long cold time. And the Flowers are singing extra brightloud+gutsyGraceful.
The drawing is a medley of details from i just like it 6 pinboard.
The woven sticks Thing began as an intended screen, but wanted to be a sculpture instead. Long time since I wove with sticks. There will be more.
The felt; I bought readymade, and then stitched into. It may or may not be finished. I do like it like this. It's so delicious-soft+rich to stitch.
And while I stitch, I listen to my new dear teacher, Jean Houston, and her splendid buddies. New chapters, new allsorts, new blossomings.
The stitchpic has a doiley made whoknowswhen, whoknowswhere, by a skilled + deeply patient creatress. Worlds emerge when I work with these lovely mysterious and Beauty-fully-made things. Details of rhythmic work, made in another time, here helping me make new rhythmic work now.
The Butterfly is The Butterfly.
And I am very fond indeed of May 2013.
Thank You!

Snippy sitting in the evening Sun. Contemplating what his next 4am Spirited Trumpet Concerto may be, after a short snooze. That's generally just when my head meets my pillow.
Snippy Loves Spring.
Loudly.
...

These pics were all taken a couple of weeks ago, already.
Things have boomed and bloomed since then, but these pics are still sweet, and, I didn't take any more since then.
I am just enchanted, watching. Especial Relief this year, after our crazyLong crazyCold time. And who knows how long this Springy Grace spell may be?

Stitching Galore is happening overhere. Documenting Galore is not.
Whatcanyedo? Sometimes this, sometimes that. Best to roll with it, I am finding.
A few pics, for now... and till the next post-impulse comes upon me.
It could be A While.

I enjoyed reading this article, which Ms Moss mentioned.
I'd been chatting with young Bruce about similar issues, just before I got around to reading it, too.

Cheerio, for the moment.
+ Welcome Taurus Snake Time, 2013.

Or, on the flipside; Belly to the InSpiring Earth.

mixing ink, for painting. Dogu Lady ink!
I love my Dogu Ladies, and one is in my new painting.
The biggest Thing I have made in many years. 50 x 65cm.
Goin Large, to move on thru the no-Spring-blues-zone that has had me in it's grip hitherto.
Easterly resurrections seem to be happening,
after and before all.
I hope, for you, too.
Here is a jussquick, fornow, pic of my in-progress big Thing:

Checkout my pinterest boards, and especially ijustlikeit5, to see some of this imagery ancestry, if you will.
I add treasures on most of my boards overthere fairly steadily, whatever the weather.
April, 2013: Welcome.
I reeeeeeally hope you will bring more warmth this way than chilly ole March 2013 did. Really, I do.

This year, Daffodil has re-entered my home.
For many years, I was strangely and resolutely unfond of them. Suddenly, the tide of taste turned, and the yellow trumpeters were welcome here once again.
...
...
This re-union, re-delighting, came about largely due to my craving for brightness.
The Sunshine + warmth of the previous post was a prank of Nature, a very temporary phenomenon.
It snowed again. It froze again. It is still very very very very very very very cold overhere, and I was too grumpy about it all to post until now.
...
...
Thankfully, this white carryon went away again.
...
...
It is still bleak though. Bleak and very very very very very very very cold.
...
...
So the Daffies are deeply necessary, to help in undrooping the spirits.
...
...
They are happy to pose, in candlelight.
...
...
In not-much-daylight.
...
...
And their friends The Tulips have been joining in the Spirit-lifting efforts.

March, 2013.
In a few hours, Mercury turns direct.
(Sigh. Whatcanyedo. On we go.)
In a few days, Sun will surface from the DeepdeepdeeeepSeaDive that has been Pisces 2013, and will flare on thru to sparkynewAries....
I am hoping some of that celestial flame will warm it up a bit, overhere...
We will see.
And then;
we will see
some more.

Spring is like a perhaps hand
by E. E. Cummings
III
Spring is like a perhaps hand
(which comes carefully
out of Nowhere)arranging
a window,into which people look(while
people stare
arranging and changing placing
carefully there a strange
thing and a known thing here)and
changing everything carefully
spring is like a perhaps
Hand in a window
(carefully to
and fro moving New and
Old things,while
people stare carefully
moving a perhaps
fraction of flower here placing
an inch of air there)and
without breaking anything.
(BigThanks to poets.org for this)

9.
by e.e. cummings
there are so many tictoc
clocks everywhere telling people
what toctic time it is for
tictic instance five toc minutes toc
past six tic
Spring is not regulated and does
not get out of order nor do
its hands a little jerking move
over numbers slowly
we do not
wind it up it has no weights
springs wheels inside of
its slender self no indeed dear
nothing of the kind.
(So,when kiss Spring comes
we'll kiss each kiss other on kiss the kiss
lips because tic clocks toc don't make
a toctic difference
to kisskiss you and to
kiss me)

That golden central heart happened all on it's own.
Got right in the way of my being as grumpy as I was.
New pages in 'the thing', and paintplays in progress.
An overlay circle fitting with a circle painted a long while back, is pleasing.
A Corvid scrap is pleasing. Gluing is pleasing.
Making synergy with a bunch of nonsensicals is pleasing.
Painting is definitely pleasing.
Creating while grumpy is ok, too.
