"Moonset"
The edge of a napkin dyed by Deb made for a fabulous wave (& her purple cloth, too).
So many nightmares- dead bodies, assaults, old jobs.
Things are busy, mostly in my head, and computer time is more limited these days. It seems that by the time K. is finished with it, it's too late for my eyes and brain.
Working on Cameron's block. This was hard to make- not my comfort zone in stitching, or the racism behind the symbol. I sent Blue this photo saying that my making this was proof that the world's gone off kilter. "Racist and sports?!" He agreed. But the Kansas City Chiefs were his favorite team. There is a video of him having a great time at a game two days before he was killed.
Moon was impressed that he actually recognized it, "You made these?! Good job!" Cameron was also known as a Chevy man. I'm really looking forward to getting to the star stitching.
The boys have had some growing pains this week.
This little house in progress is love- in home, velvet and raw ragged stitching... started after talking to Blue yesterday. After he said that he wanted to come home. After I exclaimed, "Yes! Just get on a plane, we'll figure the virus stuff out, just come home!" Just wanting to wrap my arms around him. And then sense kicked in (for him first).
While they grapple with big things and emotions, it's hard to remember that they're almost grown, 18 and 22, and there's not much we really can/should do except listen, and remind them that we're here and on their side. I guess that I've had some growing pains, too.
A couple of days ago it was this blog's ten year anniversary. It was started with a wanting to be a part of Jude's Patchwork Beast workshop circle. It's been a doorway to connection- with the circle, my making, and mostly myself. Thank you for coming along on the journey.
