I was just in heaven...

We're parked near the sea. There was a thump on the roof. It's dark, so we took a torch out, and TWO gorgeous black cats came to twine themselves around our legs, and rub their faces on our hands, purring loudly.

And then I come back in and see your post...all this and a Blackbird singing his Spring song this morning has made the day beautiful.

I hope your thumbs heal real soon. Lots of TLC 💗

The winter cracked skin is such a problem. Wearing socks on hands at night, bandaids to go out, rubber gloves to do any food prep and cleanup. Sigh...

Jude Hill's avatar

yes, it is the dry skin plague of old age...

Having the same issue with cracked skin on my thumb. It's taking forever to heal. I can knit with a bandaid and salve but it makes holding cloth feels awkward. It's nice seeing the old videos. I realize how embedded in my mind your teachings are.

Jude Hill's avatar

yes, it is clumsy with bandages, how important thumbs are.

I forgot how many videos were made... I've been going on and on forever...

Hope your fingers are healed up soon! 💙

Me too, I feel crippled.

I know how you feel… I use liquid new skin you brush on for cuts so I can keep stitching, and when that stops working I put little pieces of surgical tape on my injured finger tips. 😁

Jude Hill's avatar

Yeah, exactly, whatever is on hand.

Hearts and love and self care? Your magic thumbs need more of your attention perhaps?!

Those cute cat paws brought an instant smile on my face, little simple things in life like seeing sweet fluffy paws can bring so much joy!!

Thank you for sharing!!!

Yeah, I've been neglecting my hands, I appreciate them more when there are issues.

Today I drew a heart with roots, because isn't Love the root of it all?! I like how it came out. Stitching it will come next. Love seeing that velvet :)

Combining elements creates new visual language.

Nancy's avatar

Yes. I've added roots before...to feet, but this one was drawn in a way I liked more. heehee

It took me a minute to recognize Soul-o's toes. I thought "is Jude having an infestation of white mice?" Yeah, I was recently taken out by a paper cut on my index finger. It's amazing how well one's body usually works, isn't it?

Jude Hill's avatar

Yes, we take it all for granted...

Ouch, I know how that feels! Hope you have some good salve. I have a few that work wonders. Love the oven mitts, and, of course, the paws 🧡

Jude Hill's avatar
