I’ve had another one of those moody weeks. I decided to take the week off from working with my hands to give them a needed rest. Now I’m itching to get back into the studio, make some prints, design a new warp and get that started, since it will take a while. Week before last,…

The most wonderful thing about weekend mornings is that when I have a hot flash I can strip off all my clothes and stand in front of the open refrigerator. Last weekend I did get the studio cleaned up and the warp wound on my loom. I ended up going back to my original idea…

Gosh, can I even remember this week? Is it worth remembering? I can tell you that I spent much of it in a blue funk after the political hatefulness that occurred against my friends and family in this state. It made me realize that I cannot sit back and ignore the news, even though I…

Miss Lucy is not only back to normal, she has become quite spoiled with all the extra attention she received in the past few weeks. Thank God, because I don’t think that we could have afforded many more vet bills. I’m trying very hard to break my addiction to art retreats until I can get…

Real life has gotten a lot busier now. Classes begin tomorrow, and the new graduate students came in last week for advising and orientation. I have to say that I’m impressed with them so far. I love my job, as I say often! A large part is due to my co-workers, who have great personalities,…

It’s been a great weekend so far. The Elements reception went well, and everybody really liked the cheese and apple breads I baked. I went by Zaytoon and picked up a couple of their spreads to go with them, and tried to give them some advertising all night. So many wonderful small local restaurants have…

Whew! This week was a rough one. Last Saturday started out so lovely, and ended with leaving a cook-out abruptly to visit an urgent care clinic. I had a bad urinary tract/kidney infection that apparently had been “cooking” for some time. This one affected my kidney so I had painful cramps in my kidney and…

I’m drinking my coffee on the deck this morning, thanking God for, among other things, the fact that I don’t have to worry about whether any of my cats are involved in the screaming cat fight going on across the block. Theo is yowling at the back door. He was obviously an inside-outside cat in…

I have a lot of continuing projects going on, and I don’t like to repeat myself so often, so I haven’t been posting lately. I visited my mother over Easter weekend, and went to church with her Sunday morning, even though I swore never to do so again. That might give you the idea –…
