I finally decided to name this piece “Weathering Hearts”. I have been watching and listening to Jude with her mini-series “Whispering Hearts”. Recently, I listened to two audio books on my walks, Wuthering Heights by Jane Austen and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. So in keeping with a literary theme, and for one I feel [...]

I have been gone for a week visiting grandchildren and, now, missing them so much. I have other loves waiting for me, though, and that is the plus side of walking into the house. Cats do not greet you like dogs, but the subtlety is something to treasure especially when you crawl into bed at [...]
The Real Tigi and Ebenezer

This was the inspiration for Tigi, my collage kitty in lace and softness….. And this is Ebenezer, soon to be found in the best way I know how. The tail was a good beginning. The fur will be a long but fun process. There is a potential for grace here, and that is how I [...]
Ebenezer (Ebby)

I have been spending all my free time working on Ebenezer, also known as “Ebby”, a gorgeous, smoky gray cat that went missing a few months back. He is still not found. The poster said he was “very friendly”, something that was concerning it seemed. Gray cats have various tones of color, so in this [...]
Tender Tigi
Posted in animals, Antique/Vintage Textiles, Cats, compassion, Decorative, fabric/collage/applique, Memories, Ruminating, Slow Living on March 12, 2011 | 25 Comments »
Tigi was named for a cat that I met through a missing cat sign on a telephone pole. The name and the personality stayed with me until it became a kind of spiritual entity, a remembrance, as many of these cats are never found. Throughout the creation of Tigi, the word “tender” captured the mood, [...]
A New Project

For the last several weeks now, I have been diligently working on a project that is so close to my heart. I am thinking a series of these projects, for starters, will be a good thing. I have spent so much time on this, hour after hour but loving every bit and piece and stitch. [...]
A Gift
Posted in animals, Cats, compassion, Memories on February 1, 2011 | 14 Comments »
I have been busy working on these sachets for the last week. I decided I wanted to do something for the staff at the cat hospital for all the care and sensitivity and support they gave me through and during Lauren’s illness and passing. I also felt a project like this would help me heal [...]
A Remembrance
Posted in animals, Cats, compassion, Family, Memories, Ruminating, Seasons on January 20, 2011 | 17 Comments »
This morning my sweet kitty, Lauren passed away. She had been ailing for the last several months with renal failure. I feel her loss so deeply and want to remember her in this space, to pay tribute to her life and her remarkable presence in our lives. I adopted her from the animal shelter five [...]
Over the river….

Over the river and through the woods, we are heading back to Portland early in the morning. We are packing and loading earlier than usual because it is due to start raining within the hour. I took this sunset photo last night. Sunrise and sunset, so many of these we have witnessed in the last [...]
Slow Weaving

We have been in Mendocino for over a week now, and I have spent most of my time here in my little house in the back with the heater on, sewing away the hours. I awakened this morning to freezing temperatures, so cold that all the rooftops were covered with a heavy frost. I still [...]
