Seeing the myriad echoes calling me, having been thinking and yabbering about influence and synthesis and and and.

I have this sense of bringing many many threads of fascination into synthesis now.

Eessagoodone!

...

And a reminder - maybe I will put a fixed post about this at the top for a while, too? But for now - a reminder - please see previous post for details  - my new password-protected blog is ragster espial, and you're welcome to join me there if stitchery and my free-er flow musings, and cloth and that ilk, and maybe being a student of jude, are fascinating for you, too. Leave a comment here, or email me.

Ok.

For The Moment.

And as P'taah says, and I like: "sufficient unto the time".

The Textile Blog's flickr collections just grabbed me, and led me onto other fine things, as flickr Things generally do. gilhooly studio, who made 'three stems' has fab faves, too. 

I hadn't made a mosaic in a while ~ I always love to see the echoes and synergy when that tasty nine-square emerges from my faves.

Oh, the stitchings I could do. The paintings I could paint...

I'm entering my fiftieth year, enjoying fresh inspirations, and clear evening Sunbeams.

Thank you again for a lovely multi-media shower of hopes and happy wishes yesterday.

Chiron is in Pisces now, as it was when I took birth quite a few Moons ago. Uranus has scorched on thru into Aries...   And we all send Love now to the people in Japan, in Libya, in New Zealand, in Haiti, and, really, in All the places. Here, there, and everywhere.

I am thankful for having just found Levinetalks.com and livingdying.org.

...Which followed on from something good which Naomi from Mangreen suggested.

And finally, for this link-rich post: this being 13th March; may I wish my dear departed Daddy a very happy wouldabin 89th birthday. Some of his pics are still glowing away nicely over at Made By Jack.

Peace Be With You.  And may your dealings be square, in the best possible sense.

Yes. Mustard. Suddenly, hot on the heels of my edgey-green Love, comes along a strange new colourpassion.

And I see, by my trawling around Pinterest, that I am not alone in this.

Clearly, Mustard is calling out loud. It's all overtheplace.

First time in forty-eight years I have liked it. In a Love~Hate kind of way...

Surely, we are living thru new times...

 

Things move along swiftly over at my Ijustlikeit Pinterest board. Do drop over there to enjoy more.

Still in deep health-transformation zone overhere, still turning fierce body-strangeness around, and thankfully, seem to be doing that well.

Nurses begin to go 'ooh' in an appreciative-of-speed-of-recovery tone, which is a sweeter sound than the 'ooh's they made when everything was going firey-melt-down-crazy.  

'My body is a DramaQueen', I tell them - 'it does a lot of big loud scary symptoms all together, but it generally turns them around quite quickly too.'

It is hard to convince them ahead of the turn, if they have not witnessed it before.  I have a strange constitution. It is a relief when health professionals trust my body knowing, especially since my body doesn't often behave in generally-accepted 'usual' ways.

I've got a great supportive G.P.; she is getting wise to the way I work, and recently I've been blessed with some great nurses coming to assist me too. I hereby sing their praises and declare my gratitude for them all.

I am a big new fan of my Bioptron light, too.  And delighted that the people within the 'straight' medical system begin to be more open to such alternatives than I have experienced previously.

Check out the (silent) Elly enjoying light treatment at my truly spacious youtube channel, if you will.

I trust healing things that Elly's are happy about.

There are some other freshly-gathered vid treats overthere, too.

 

Hurray!  Tides of Healing are turning.

Every time I make a new mosaic, I marvel anew at the wonders of t'internet. The generosity. The tools we have, freely available. Mosaic maker is a present from BigHugeLabs.

My big thanks as always to all the generous artists behind these fab pics, which lead to the most wonder-filled worlds beyond. Sets of shimmering Beauty.  Click on thru, to visit sets and streams and whatnots, if you have moments, via the links. Click pic for clearer mosaic, too.

I have been so happy to have discovered the joys of ravelry.com. I knew of the site previously, but since I didn't consider myself much of a knitter and not at all of a crocheter, I didn't bother finding my way in there. Now, it is becoming a rich, rich place of resource and connection and exploration and delight and and and, for me. Me and a very big bunch of others, eh. Really, it is such a well-put-together thing. And again, all for free. So much goodness online... 

If you are a Ravelry-er, you can find me there as 'hookbeauty'. I've already gathered another brilliance-filled 'notebook' - gallery -  of otherfolk's lovely creations - in favo(u)rites there, which I'd love to flap around here, too, but which is only visitable if you sign in, I believe.

As for re-tuning spaciouscraft.net; I can only report that ideas have brewed during the Mercury Retro phase, and I'll aim to bring them on thru in the coming weeks. It's work which I'd like to have done, but not particularly to do.

I'm going to be working for a while with a creativity-coach-in-training, thanks again to great generosity, this time via Eric Maisel, and of course, my coach-to-be who kindly chose my email request out of the pool of potential.

So I am hoping that, with some support and a bit of accountability, the creative tasks which don't altogether appeal, but whose product would please me greatly, will become achieved things rather than aimed-for things, before very long.

And I am hoping that I will find ways to make time to do all manner of things which I enjoy.  It sounds simple, put like that, eh?

Seeing ways forward, again.

One of the quilt artists whose work is in my new gallery, (see previous post), has a fab-you-lous selection of faves. Maybe others do, too - but this is the one which I discovered today. Rosa Pomar's flickrfaves.

I didn't move past it, except to follow labyrinthian trails thru sets, pools and whatnots it pointed to. I kept returning to the same faves set for more, tho.  And there are still tens of pages there which I haven't visited yet. YumYum! ~ abundance. Most of the pics above came from, or via, the pages which I did visit.

It seems rather surreal to be posting snowies already - feels a little early, and only minutes since the last balmy breeze breezed on by...But, the impulse has come upon me. And far be it from me to deny such a Beauty-full impulse.
I have a long-standing, and well-documented, love of Snow and snowflakeness. As evident in Snowy Anoracks On, and Snowy Love. That latter one has so many good links that I could run them all again unabashed. I could, but since you can visit them by clicking on thru there, here are simply the best ones to play at:

The astonishingly good snowflake maker - 2d, and 3d. I swear.
And the rather lovely Make-a-Flake.

I am so delighted to find them both still upandrunning.
I hope you'll enjoy them too - and show me what you make! Send me your snowies!

And once again may I salute the mighty Snowflake Bentley. The man knew Passion.

I may have to post more of my Snowflake Bentley Love on here, too... tis the season...

Oooh my big thanks to today's mosaic's generous flickrphotographers.
These images are each so lovely. And together, the colours, textures and shapes make me swoon.

This last fortnight I've had building renovations going on overhere in my sweet Cabin; my nearly-a-year-here-already New Home, and the sight of dugup floors and drying plaster has me adobe-dreaming again. 
I'd like to leave my new wetroom so much rougher round the edges than the building regulations allow. I may get away with bare copper pipes left as-is... that's something... Builders are generally flummoxed by my taste for the 'unfinished'.  WhatcanIdo? I like it like that! But rules is rules, and things have to be 'finished properly'...

As always, click pic for larger mosaic, and click the links above to visit the individual pics,
and the worlds, sets, pools and streams beyond.

New Groups discovered along this morning's trail: Doors and Windows in Decay, and Trees & Tree Bark - from around the world. 

How I love flickr.

Ooooh I found some good ones today on my flickrfaves rounds.
Aren't these a lovely synthesis? And each pic (naturally) a rich treasure in itself. 

My big thanks as always to the generous flickrartists.
Click pic for larger clearer mosaic, and click the links to go to each pic, and the sets and pools they connect to.

I was delighted to find tim caynes' fine work - via a post on my googlereader from Flatlanders.
Now that I am mended enough again to begin to explore the bigger pictures around my lovely new home, I get excited about all the Beauty and Things awaiting me out there.
Good Dreams come to me via pics and posts of Norwich and Norfolk. O how I enjoy those names. The sweet sounds of Where I Live Now.

Also happy to find ailatan, and her rich sets, including the mysterious 'letters from japan'.

New Pools found along today's trail: Temple & Shrine Fountains of Japan, Japanese Gardens, and Japanese and Chinese Gardens. 

All roads lead me back to My Lovely Garden just now... weaving all manner of Beauty together.
