This was a typical day running errands that turned into something quite magical. Mendocino is not known for practical shopping. It is a tourist destination, so when you want gardening fertilizer, cat litter, or special art supplies it is best to drive ten minutes north on Highway 1 to Fort Bragg. I have been driving [...]

Tangled Mind or Project
Posted in fabric/collage/applique on July 28, 2009 | 8 Comments »
I must admit I am having a hard time finding my focus and getting back on track. I wander around asking myself where I last left my creative plans. What corner? What town? What day? So today I started reading a distracting and disturbing book by Chris Hedges, Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy [...]
An Eventful Sunday

Our youngest daughter announced her engagement this afternoon. We are thrilled. They are currently on a vacation in Southern Oregon. It was a nice surprise, and now we are looking forward to planning a wedding in Southern California. As an added treat to the day, I saved a baby quail from being eaten by my [...]
A Mendocino Flea Market

When I am Mendocino I sometimes let the day be what it wants to be. Maybe it is the air that dictates this mood and feeling. Maybe this is why so many artists choose to live in this magical place. When I returned from my beach walk, I noticed my neighbor the next street over [...]
Authentic Friendship

I was going to blog about something else tonight, but after reading some of your comments on my last post, I changed my mind immediately. I was so taken by your words, support, and empathy. When I started blogging over a year ago, I never imagined it would be a connection to so many true [...]
A tiny sand dollar

A tiny sand dollar, a drop of sand, a vast ocean, a moment of grace. My morning walk on the beach began with questions and ended with the phrase “live and let live”. Sometimes in life we choose paths that seem obscure to others. And sometimes we find ourselves feeling small and alone in our [...]
A Simple Project

I cannot believe the support I am getting from all of you with your sincere and true comments. Thank you so very much. Tomorrow our houseguests are going wine tasting for the afternoon, so I should have a little time to myself. My husband’s sweater has been the only project I have managed to work [...]
Hands-On

These are two hands, the larger one is mine and the smaller one is my granddaughter, Sarah’s. I traced our hands last summer when she was visiting and then put them in my journal with scribbled thoughts around the edges. Just trying to figure a way to place my hands somewhere that they might lead [...]

The grandchildren are home safe and sound. We are back in Mendocino for two weeks. Houseguests arrive on Tuesday for four days. I am ready to renew my spirit and return to this creative and inspiring world. I cannot wait to catch up with everyone’s news and ventures and be back to my blog on [...]
On the Road

I am leaving this morning to take my grandchildren back to Southern California. I hope to be back to post here in a few days. After that I will be posting on a more regular basis again.
