I just love Groundhog Day. It is at the top of my favorite movie list. Bill Murray rocks. On this Groundhog Day, I went to see a new friend of mine who is going to Duke to be certified as an Integrative Health Coach. She is practicing on Sandy and me (separately) and I hope…

It’s been a while since I posted a list of what I bought at the Greensboro Farmers’ Curb Market, my favorite place to shop. I’ve been trying to pay off credit cards so I’ve been living out of the freezer a good bit. Plus it’s the first Saturday morning in a while that I’ve felt…

This is a weekend planning post. If I accomplish half of what I plan on a Friday night, I am generally doing well. First, at some point I plan to go over to Susanne’s and hang out. Finish the box looms for my tapestry workshop on Wednesday night while I’m there. What she’s doing (printing…

You can breathe now. I’m finally posting some photos of my new books! Not as many as I’d like. The photography gods are still mad at me. But I got a few that were almost in focus. The first two are of the Brasstown book with wooden covers that I made at John C. Campbell…

I have been sucked into the Facebook vortex, and felt guilty about neglecting my blog, so I’m making amends. Sandy and I are also in a refinancing vortex, with some tense disagreement and shopping around after I’d already locked in, so things are not so good around here. We’re not getting the extra money as…
