First, THIS article is helping me get back on track after a rather hellish month: 12 Little Known Laws of Mindfulness That Will Change Your Life. I came back from Arrowmont with steadily worsening anxiety and physical problems, which peaked about three days ago. My pain level has gone from about an 8 to a…

First I’ll do a coffee pot post to sweep out the brain junk, then I’ll post about my wonderful two day workshop with Chad Alice Hagen. I discovered where this fine feral feller likes to hang out and started leaving him a little cat food on my walks by these bushes on my way to…

For some reason I’ve been addicted to Christmas song YouTube DJ’ing all day – if you only knew how much I have complained in the past about others behaving like this. Going down to Marietta to be with Mama post-cataract surgery for the next two days. I was going to leave tonight, but I found…

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…

Left to right: Brother Thad, Cousin Cherie, and Nephew Seth Cuz-in-law Ken, G-neph Jake Cherie and I at the Kindred Spirit mailbox on Bird “Island.” I did manage to get a couple of pairs of book covers almost done and a dragonfly/mica book bound. I warped up the tapestry loom so all that is left…

Everything this week was all messed up. I had a lot of things that needed to be done at work, and had to weigh that against spreading the germs of this nasty bug that I am STILL sick with. My co-workers had serious medical things going on in their families or were sick too. I…

Lately I have been reading a lot of ACTUAL BOOKS. The kind with a cover and paper and ink? In fact, I think that is why my left hand has taken a turn for the worse because I tend to hold a book in my left hand. Who knew that you could overdo reading? I…

Laura asked me what I accomplished yesterday. My answer was too long to go to waste so I’ve copied it here. I mordanted some cotton and wool fabrics with alum/soda ash and alum/cream of tartar respectively. They soaked overnight. Sandy and I went shopping mostly, but to fun places like a neighborhood bazaar in Glenwood…

I’m back – sorry if I worried anyone with my prolonged absence! A little update then I promise no more talk about my health. I have been sick with this coughing crud for weeks, pulled a muscle in my neck, and, after a solid year without a “visit from my friend,” discovered that I am…

Just to let you know that I’m still around…a very short post. A very frustrated and depressed post, but I’m trying. Last night was a bad one with my hands. A lot of numbness, and that disrupts my sleep. Plus, I’ve started getting these frequent muscle twitches in my neck – not painful, but disconcerting.…
