Van Gogh’s Starry Night with the first image taken by the James Webb telescope by alpgenart
I’d like to add this to my Van Gogh wall.
On another level, I want to learn better ways to fix mistakes in knitting. I tried a lifeline as I remembered doing a long time ago. I spent all day fixing my mistake. For future reference I’m posting the YouTube I should have watched early this morning. Hope it helps others and future me.
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โme.โย Find a word that starts with โmeโ or use the word โmeโ as the theme of your post. Have fun!
Message me, I tapped.
Meanwhile, no answer. Nothing is worse than a lack of response. Especially if you are a mom.
We moms have huge imaginations. If there is a worse case scenario we’ve witnessed it in our heads. From that idea comes the litany of emotional repercussions. They hate us. We hurt them unbearably, we’re sure.
Rationale doesn’t hit. We have to work to find it.
Finally, there’s a new message.
Sorry, Mom. I was asleep. Or I was working.
Total relief from meandering worry, and the mess in our heads. Maybe we need to up the meds.
I wish I could say I finished something but, nope. Still I like seeing progress. A couple things are getting close.
Tomorrow I’ll finish Starry Night. So few uncovered symbols (lower left, blues).
The next two hats are nearing the decreasing section.
The scrappy slipper socks are at the cuff stage.
I’m feeling more confident with my HiyaHiya Fliers. Half the cuff of sock number one is done. These are so thin, like wires. This is meant to be a small sock. I only have this one skein so this may be just a first try. I think I shared the YouTube a few days ago. The hard part of watching is the presenter is using continental knitting. It’s been a while since I tried that so I’m having to learn using my right hand against learning as she uses her left hand.
I hate/love following my passion. There are only so many hours a day and somethings get lost in the shuffle. Like recorders and pianos and singing. Like writing and editing. Like other artwork. I miss those pursuits. Like old friends and family. Yet the knitting is calling. I barely put half an hour on the diamond painting. I’m putting in about the same on the treadmill. It’s something! More than I’d get done otherwise.
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โhome.โย Use it as a noun, a verb, an adjective, or an adverb. Enjoy!
Homing in on the word of the day makes me realize what a home body I’ve become. My roots grow deep especially these last few years. Sitting and knitting on homespun yarn, making socks and hats helps me ground myself, keep my hands busy, and mind open to whatever meditations that leads to.
What I am not is homemaker. Four adults live here. Four adult clean, cook and keep home. Though sometimes that range is rangey and the deer and the antelope, well, you know.
Since the bear and other toy haven’t progressed at all since last seen they don’t rate a picture. I promise, this weekend I’ll stuff, sew, and make faces. On them and myself!
Does it count if progress was made then tinking had to happen? I’m almost to the point of the dreaded goof. Then the hat will become.
This hat shows promise. Two inches then time to decrease crown.
This latecomer hat is nearing end of brim.
Scrappy slipper socks farther along than before mad frogging. Ankles and cuff are all that’s left. Yay!
Starry Night is nearly finished. Tomorrow or Sunday. It’s inspiring my own inner artist to come out.
My Van Gogh sketch wants to be transferred to canvas then painted or pasteled. Scary. I’ve never done a painting outside of the occasional paint-by-number. Wish me luck!
