Dearest Needle-workers,
We started thinking about what we could sew in a week, for our pop-up clothing expo and sale, and came up with something like a glove/ arm-warmer/ sleeve-extension - as well as some very exciting dresses, coats and other delights...
And it feels like I hit my 'Golden Vein': the creative artery that nourishes and expands all the aligned projects and dreams - just this simple activity of taking apart old jumper sleeves, concentrating to make them the same width and length, hand-sewing the details to imperfect-perfection - filling a small basket with the colour-full results... has opened up plans, journeys, bus tickets, entrepreneurship, stories, memories - and much more!
It is part therapy, part spiritual return, part putting-the-world-to-Right: the feeling of Home and of Right Timing - and of being part of the Great Spirit, The Whole; allowing Gaia Sophia to carry us...
Every stitch has significance, impetus, direction and intention: this feels magical.
Having worked intensively at the easel (painting) for over 35 years, I know this alchemy, and I know that it opens up reality in profound ways: I really believe in this force of creativity - in myself it has always been strong, BUT being activated in collaboration, it becomes a whole new dimension of power-to-do-good.
Wish us luck in our expo and sale this weekend! We're off to have a coffee-break; a walk to the next village and a bakery which is the most wonderful bakery in the world...
