My artist talk on Monday night for RMCQ went well – despite the winter storm warning (AND the men’s college basketball championship), we had a pretty good turnout. Not sure that the basketball championship really kept anyone from attending, although I’m thankful I wasn’t also competing with a season premiere of Downton Abbey.

The home/studio remodel continues and I now have three new 8 foot long lights in my work space!
not the greatest photo, but you get the idea!

Carpet arrives tomorrow. Today I realized
I’m gonna kinda miss this ol’ bare bathroom floor.

I’d be lost without my lists. My brain seems to be going in so many directions most of the time. My lists are my anchors in the sea of chaos. Especially this time of year, with the holidays approaching and 3 shows to prepare for in the next 2 months, my lists will keep me […]
Where to begin when you don’t know what to say? I’m reminded of Pema Chodron’s words/book, “Start Where You Are”. And so I will.
It’s been 10 days now since our family suffered the unexpected loss of our dear sister/mother/daughter, ShaRae – and it still just doesn’t seem real. We miss her terribly. We are […]

An Artist Book from year’s Past
I was reminded today of this artist book that I made several years ago. The image below is on my Flickr photo stream and a wonderful fan just added it to her favorites list this morning, which “ping-ed” me and led me to look at this again.
Continued from here and here, I’ve now finished my first piece in the LineScape series which contains some significant hand stitching. I’m really loving the look and feel of the hand stitching as well as the meditative (problem solving) time I get while doing the stitching.
LineScape #14, 42" x 36", (cotton fabrics […]
