Every year since we moved to Portland we can count on some snow, maybe a lot once, twice if we are lucky. For me this occasion is perfect bliss. The minute I can see it is going to stick, I get ready for a long walk. Only rain was predicted for today, but when I [...]

Mother-of-the-bride ensemble

A few days before Christmas, I took out all the items I needed to start on my dress and jacket for the wedding January 16th. There was much preparation before I could even start the dress and jacket. I had to pre-shrink all the fabric before cutting. And then I did a little research on [...]
Two quilts return home
Posted in Antique/Vintage Textiles, Quilts on December 21, 2009 | 24 Comments »
When I was in LA recently visiting my youngest daughter, I asked her if I could take a couple of quilts home that she had been keeping for me. This one pictured above was one that belonged to my mother. It was made for her as a gift by a dear friend that had made [...]
Pedaling faster

I am hoping to return soon. Company arrives tomorrow. I am nurturing dreams and imaginings and yearning to pick up where I left off somewhere in the fog of the past. I will be posting sporadically until the middle of January.

I am heading to Southern California in the morning for my daughter’s bridal shower. I will return on Tuesday. I am not sure how much I will be on my computer, but will be back posting on Tuesday or Wednesday. Hope everyone has good weather and many projects going, so when I log back in [...]
A reproduction toile

I decided as I approached the new year, I was going to change a few things. First, my hair. I feel lighter, somehow more carefree. Maybe this is what I am inching my way towards for 2010. When I saw the mounds of curls on the floor, I decided perhaps this might be a good [...]
The Moon

I love suggestions. Deb and jude suggested we post photos of the moon. I contribute this….a Mendocino moon I took many moons ago. And another view, a sliver of beauty on Mt Whitney, always a place to find a perfect moon.
Searching for the last idea
Posted in Inspiration, Nature, Places, Ruminating, Seasons on December 3, 2009 | 8 Comments »
Lately I have been a little discombobulated. I get this way when I look at my calendar, and I realize there is more to do than I have time and energy. Not complaining. Just searching for inspiration to see me though, as this is the one thing that takes me to a place of acceptance. [...]
