- Friday Ambiance May 17, 2013Je vous souhaite un trés bon weekend.. Have a great weekend with, or without friends, but definitely with good food and a good book and some exercise, like gardening! Next week’s post is all about the washing day. A chore we either hate..or love. If you want to be inspired to do laundry, then remember […]

- A spring poulain! April 29, 2013Spring is supposed to have arrived, but on some days? I wonder if I made a mistake with the seasons..maybe we are moving into winter? Noo..n..it is spring, surely. In spite of icy weather, we have lilacs blooming profusely, wisterias drooping low with heavy blooms, tulips swaying their hips and young ones grazing in the [...]
Postcard from my walk
- Dog Park April 4, 2013Here is Cathy's painting of the Dog Park at the dam. Cathy wrote that she thought of Ivy when she was painting these images. Ivy is my greyhound. Ivy would really have had fun with the water and the other dogs. I love seeing the dogs having so much fun in the water. Below is the back side of the postcard with the words removed so you can see that Ca […]

- Sentimental Reasons April 6, 2013This past month has had more than a few challenges, funny how they come in bunches. The weather was in a tug-of-war between winter and tiny tantalizing bursts of spring. Days were becoming heavy. An unexpected knock at the door reversed my inner grayness. A smiling delivery man handed me a huge bouquet radiating Sunshine and Light. The timing was as perfect […]

- Paper pieced Log Cabin October 7, 2012Log cabin quilt, 24" x 24", paper pieced using batik fabrics. I uploaded these three photos and gave my post a title, and looked back to find a link on my blog for the quilt I did in another colourway...and found it has the same three shots and title...how boring and predictable! Oh well, here it is, the little quilt I've been doing off and on […]

- The World Looks so Different Today May 14, 2013We had the loveliest West Coast weather here. On a bright and warm star-filled Saturday morning, my darling husband passed away peacefully in his own bed with three of his family around him. There is not a hand book or guide for these things, they happen and you are stunned.I will love him always: Philip was my best friend for 50 years and my husband for 47. […]

- An Artist Changes Focus May 15, 2013Margaret asked the question, "I am a quilter but I want to change. I've collected other art materials over the years and think it is time to actually use them. How did you decide to give up quilting?" I'll bet others are interested in my answer and maybe have their own unique reasons for changing their art focus and questions or advice […]

- Every Day in May: Day 2—A favorite sound May 2, 2013Living on the waterfront in Portland Maine, the sounds of the gulls awaken me in the morning as they swoop around the buildings and chase the lobster boats out of the harbor. They perch on the hotel next door watching and waiting and soon there will be baby gulls. I watch as they build a nest precariously perched on the slanted roof and stand guard until the […]

- How to climb a mountain May 19, 2013Embroiled in several writing projects, teaching and wo-manning my booth at the local art market, I've been putting off posting at this site for lack of text. But I have journal entries to show! So, I'll post these between longer textual affairs.This pen and ink and wash reminds me of one of my most favorite quotes by the Scottish explorer, W. H. Mu […]

- Potted Plants and a Garden Cafe May 18, 2013THURSDAY MAY 16 ’13 This week is about the garden. Our setups are cacti and succulents, and potted blooms, one in an old rusty hanging basket. I seem to wanting more sketches from everyone these days and people are stepping up to the mark. At least 2 in the first hour to be completed. Down the hill we go ( it’s always down to start with! ) and straight ahead […]
