Hello? Anybody out there? I know I’ve been gone a terribly long time, the place has grown moss and cobwebs. My life took over and my time wasn’t my own. It was The Summer Of Healing. So here are a few hightlights: My 15 year old son had scoliosis surgery…that’s his new titanium rodded back … Continue Reading
Springtime in Colorado…I’m wanting Spring to spring, and have made my spring alter, just waiting for warmer, greener days … …but what I have is this. A little more snow and cold. Patience. Always patience as we wait for spring to really arrive here. I love the spring food holidays and this year combined the … Continue Reading
Well…the month of February was consumed with illness. This season’s cooties took me out, one right after the other. Lots of Vietnamese penicillin…AKA Pho, helped nourish my weakened corporeal existence. I did get in a quick trip to Seattle with my son…love that city and it was fun to take my traveling companion to … Continue Reading
It all started on the most unlikely of days…Superbowl Sunday. I got it in my mind that my bag of embroidery thread needed organizing. Don’t know why this happened. But I will tell you… …it’s a great way to “watch the game.” It helped that my brother made me cocktails and cooked gumbo from scratch. … Continue Reading
Well.. I got my Sketchbook Project finished and mailed just in the nick of time yesterday! I'm not sure why I procrastinated, it was a joy to work on. My theme this year was "Almanac" but I made it into a kind of dream Atlas. I came across this wonderful quote from the movie, Here, … Continue Reading

And now I feel, on this brand new day of 2013, that I can return a bit to myself. On the winter solsitce I … Continue Reading
Kind of a perfect day here in the studio yesterday…I finished up a beaded heart (it will evolve with a bit more work into a hanging ornament) for the Two Hands Paperie fundraising holiday tree for Meals on Wheels… …all the while the snow fell in flurries outside and my little buddha collected a … Continue Reading
I have to say, whoever invented fall break was a freaking genius in my book. While the teachers need time to plan, the kids get time to goof off. As a side note, I think I went to school from the day after Labor Day until Thanksgiving with nary a day off…but that was back … Continue Reading
A quiet and grey morning here after a rainy night…heaven! I felt inspired to switch out my summer altar… …for one honoring autumn. I am loving the transition to cooler days and the changing hues of this fall season. My tree house leaves are starting to turn and this morning with the wet, dark branches … Continue Reading
I spent the afternoon in the studio (one eye on the fires smouldering in the distance) with a couple of friends making altered postcards. It is just what I needed after yesterday's 100 plus temps, roaring winds and freakin' fires billowing smoke down into Boulder! Today was a cool drink of friendship and some much … Continue Reading
