My Yachts must have wind in their sails, and movement in the block, I don\u2019t want the quilt to represent a flat calm, but I\u2019d rather have a brisk breezy day than stormy weather.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever been stalked by a thought, or an image, or a half formed plan?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[11,5,3],"tags":[9,944,13,10,12,16,8,942,14,7],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=393"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":957,"href":"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393\/revisions\/957"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
