Oak on left comes into view.   I love this Cloth,  this slow slow Cloth.

    I love the way this cloth composition has morphed and refined itself as you’ve been doing the same. You and Liz have been a huge motivational inspiration in the natural order of your daily stitching practice. Am making time for stitching in the evenings now. No fanfare or advance Getting Ready. Just shut the laptop, turn the light all the way up, pull out my sewing box and stitch for bit.
    Never was one for working this way. Always by natural light. But now it’s more important to me to get back in the muscle memory habit of doing this in a fluid ongoing way than it is to remain attached to a particular form of habitual experience. For some reason I’ve been really stuck when it comes to stitching more than a couple of days in a row here and there. Doing it way at the end of everything else feels very very do-able without thinking much at all let alone over-thinking.
    It’s such a relief. Just to consistently feel the layers of cloth nestled in my fingertips and the thread moving taut as I pull gently on the needle …
