so here we are again,  same as yesterday.   BUT,   as CatherinE made the Brilliant discovery,  if you click the pic to enlarge,  it orients correctly!    So,  again.    after today,  if this continues,  i don't know.   Internet in general is weak.

a mess here.   and i  just don't care.   Other than the glorious SUN moments   of that pic,  it has rained.   All day all night.  repeating.  and now with the exception of a half day tomorrow   (when they are hoping to burn)  rain is forecast through the coming week.  sometimes mixed with

s n o w

as yesterday late afternoon and then the early part of today,  not really snow flakes,  but sleet.   not far from here in Magalia,  they got 14 and a half inches of snow.   it's cold.   

the top row of spirals are stitched in place…just the top of them.   the first will need to be repositioned.    the second row,  with the 3  will remain only pinned.  Am not sure what's happening there.

Today i tried.   over and over to get the third line right.   All needed   to be moved a little to the left and i kept thinking i did it but then standing back,  i didn't.   

the cloth held me enough.   and then,   an interview with Iris DeMent  NPR All Things Considered.   I love her.   and listened a couple times to YouTube,   Inspite of Ourselves….her and John Prine….how she said she "carries him with her".

    Here too. The rain started last night and has not stopped at all. At all.
    It’s funny, I keep seeing this video in the sidebar, while listening on You Tube and now here you mention her. I finally listened to it! haha

    Clicking on the photo, enlarging it, I happily get lost in each piece of cloth, in the colors, the patterns, so varied, so speaking to me of places and they are not my cloth pieces, I have no history with them yet it comes to me that these represent universality; how we can “find” stories within the colors, the patterns that speak to us…
    It must be hard not to have a big enough space to lay the whole thing out, to stitch. I remember you up on a ladder to stitch the Jenny quilt. Do you take it down to stitch? I have never made something so large so I don’t know…

    the thing about a blanket is that you will look at it with whole other perspective, and spacing won’t really matter.

    I’m with Jude on this for sure … but still, it has to feel right to you … and I get that, too

    How the heck can you stay warm enough, Grace? It just doesn’t warm up enough during the day, and it’s so damp. How do the goats stay warm?
