Ouiser Boudreaux: I’m not crazy, I’ve just been a very bad mood for the last 40 years!
Another blog post so soon, yes! I had an epiphany today. If you have been following along (bless your heart) you know I have struggling. It feels like I've been in a bad mood for forty years or going crazy. None of my crafting efforts were sparking joy. Knitting, spinning, weaving and dyeing were not doing it for me. I dove into the world of slow cloth and gratefully gobbled up blogposts new and old from Jude Hill.
This is my third slow stitch monthly journal. I am enjoying cataloging the bright spots each month. I already have April and May on the wall in the studio. I am working on July now. There were bright spots this month, fresh tomatoes from Wendy's garden, a family dinner and a long phone call with my bff. But work is still overwhelming and news of the outside world dismal.
I want to make something beautiful, unique and meaningful. Baby quilt, make a baby quilt a little voice inside whispered. A blue, scrappy quilt with lots of love and hope for the future stitched in.
There is no baby needing warmth and comfort on the horizon in my life. I will send this out into the world for a little one needing a welcome. Thank you, Jude Hill for all the care and love you have sent out into the world.
Hey, what a great kindness!
