all along with this mending for goats, there has been a strong sense of the cloth work Continuing in some silent subliminal way. and this morning, YES! suddenly i put together 3 pieces of floss, brown, red, orange to get the right color of blood and YES!, knew to stitch across the lightning where it hits with its vertical to give life to the horizontal! and knew to use the stacked stitch to create the heartbeat, the pulse………….. so, YES!….it all weaves together of it's own accord.
looks like you are doing very well controlling the needle – lovely stitch work

Sometimes I stop sewing and stiching for some days because life is so demanding or I have to think over how to continue and when I continue it is like coming home from a little journey and most important: like feeling at home. I´m still suprised how this developed during the last year.
I imagine you stiching on your cloth with the feeling being at home in yourself. so you can know where is the right place for every piece and every stich with dreamlike certitude.
