I started saving old jeans and other denim several years ago because I wanted to make a rugged blanket that I could put down on the ground and play on outside. Then I discovered Jude Hill’s wonderful art site and learned about some of her ideas for design and stitching cloth together. What really rang…

After a lot of coughing, sneezing, and whimpering, it feels like life is turning back to normal again. I was in super-busy mode at work and met the deadlines I needed to on Friday. It’s still busy, but much more manageable. It’s hard to believe that Diego and Pablocito have grown into such big adults.…

I spent a few days last week at Pocosin Arts Center in Columbia, North Carolina. My friend Susanne, who was involved with them when she lived in the area, scooped me up and took me to a four day class with Daniel Essig, “The Altered Mica Book.” Dan Essig is one of my favorite artists…

I planned to blog and weave and such this morning, but my husband surprised me by getting up very early and he wanted to go to the farmers market and an art show this morning, so that’s what I did instead. There was a show of ten artists at the Worx restaurant downtown and they…

Right now there is “snow” blowing across my page. I don’t know why. I don’t think that I added it. I don’t know if I like it. I don’t know how to get rid of it. Maybe WordPress does it for the month of December. So it stays, and I suppose that it will leave…

You know, I am NOT a holiday person. I do celebrate Buy Nothing Day and Festivus. This year will be the first year in many that I have not spent at least part of the long Thanksgiving weekend at my mother’s house. She passed away a year and a half ago. Today was supposed to…
