not many words but lots of texture around here.
spindle from russian fibers, thank you liliya.
some frankenstitching thanks to arlee.
a lonely goose, who lost his brother.
a stitcher who's wondering if she should blog about depression.
(in the first person).
gorgeous threads and stitching and i am in love with that spindle. if blogging about depression in the first person will help the stitcher to release it and maybe get some good feedback, the stitcher should do it...my opinion.
ReplyDeletehehe deanna! thank you. i'll be sure and tell her ;)
Deleteoh, dark grey, grey days.
ReplyDeleteyou've found beauty in them.
love to you.
thanks and love, cindy <3
Deletei think blogging can be very helpful, just make sure you don't do what i've done and use your blog to dwell...i've really done that for a long time now and i'm happy, even if it seems odd, to make myself some form of purpose.
ReplyDeletereally don't be down. if you ever need a chat or an email just sound off. lots of people out here who are happy to be friendly, listen, vent back etc.
offering friendship :)
gratefully accepting and offering in kind :)
Deletei used to dwell too, then got self-conscious since i was also selling on etsy and it seemed like being a downer would be bad for business. but i also want to be real. i love that your blog feels real.
love to you from me, too.
ReplyDeletelove to you too dear Jeana!!
DeleteSome lovely handwork & photos came from whatever place you're in, Drucilla. It's been a bugger week starting with that moon in Scorpio. I'd be happy to read whatever you write! xo
ReplyDeleteScorpio is a harsh one.. thanks so much for letting me know about the bugger moon! xxoo
DeleteYou inspire me Dru!
ReplyDeletexxoo Jennie
aww, thank you jennie!!
DeleteIt's a beautiful spindle and fibers I have to say! If you need to share, it seems this is the right community for that. :)
ReplyDeleteTake care.
I love that dark, watery reflection!
yes nancy, having this community makes it very different than just blogging to the random internetz!!
Deletecannot wait to get your fabric.
xxooo
i have always felt that you are
ReplyDeleteReal
i try grace, but you set the bar very high!
DeleteAm a big believer in using the power of word as a healing agent. Telling the truth can go a long way to understanding the personal strengths that may be playing hide and seek in the layers of vulnerability.
ReplyDeletei really admire your openness and eloquence acey! your blog is so inspiring in this way. i think i need to start slowly though. even figuring out what is "truth" isn't always easy.
DeleteWords in short supply here too Dru...but feelings aplenty ~
ReplyDeleteI love how your stitches are filled with passion.
sending love and hugs x x x
i've missed your words, helen! but i totally understand. love you you. xxo
DeleteThe photos in this post were so enticing and full of texture. I loved scrolling down through them, and marveled at your courage with stitch..so honest and strong.
ReplyDeleteThe text too, so honest and strong. Even the last sentence about depression. You are one strong woman - this will pass, but while it is with you, be strong.
judy, when i read your comment earlier, i felt so buoyed by it. that you would express such kindness and support. thank you so very much.
Deletei'm so happy to find your blog, you have no idea. what beautiful words and images. your spinning is so thin and even and lovely. my goodness. and you did that on a spindle? i'm so impressed. and that beautiful handwork! i'm in awe.

i love all the comments here. what a wonderful supportive community you have. i agree with all of them. again, so happy to find this space!

i was thrilled to find yours too, tifanie! and i love that we share some common interests :) spinning very thin is *much* easier on a spindle, but it has to be the right spindle for it...
Deleteand yes, i am so touched that this fiber community is so beautifully supportive. welcome!
