Every night I walk outside with my oldest kitty to give him some outdoor time before we head to bed. He loves the outdoors but will not venture out unless I am with him, so we usually bond in this way for 10 to 15 minutes each evening. Before Jude came back from her break, [...]

Last Thursday, I took a small road trip from Mendocino through the Anderson wine country and ended on Hwy 101 driving south just a few miles. I stopped and washed my car in one of those quarter-consuming, do-it-yourself washes, hand-dried it with old towels and then headed into the town of Healdsburg. This is one [...]
Being Alone

I have had some thoughts while I spend some time alone here in Mendocino. This morning I woke up very early thinking about an all-white (or maybe it was cream) fabric. It was the texture that drew me in, something soft and comforting. I announced to my cats that I was going back to sleep [...]
Antique Silk Quilts

I do not purport to be an expert on quilt history by any means. The subject is far too vast, and so much has been written and well documented that I could never claim any expertise. However, from time to time, I like to feature textiles or quilts that are favorites, and silk quilts happen [...]

The month of July has been dedicated to my family, and I have loved every minute of it. But today, when I least expected this, I received an email from etsy that one of the lampshades I had listed was sold. I was going to stay on here alone in Mendocino for another week with [...]
A Single Beast

I have been home a day and a half and done the grocery shopping and put some things away. I am beginning to feel a little more rested and also able to re-visit the class that I started that Jude offered over at spiritcloth. What an amazing class. I have spent a little time going [...]
Our Lincoln

I seem to have lost track of time. My husband and I drove back to Mendocino today from LA. But let me go back in time when this all started. Jeanette was to be induced on Tuesday, the 3rd. We had assumed that it would be at a civilized hour, but her doctor had her [...]
The Getty Museum

Jeanette’s baby was due a week ago today on the 26th of July, so on Saturday Jeanette generously offered to take me to the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. I have wanted to go there ever since it opened a number of years ago. I had been to the original site, what they term “The [...]
