A Sense of Place

I have decided to share a little more of my life instead of my silence. Swirling around in my mind are thoughts both bold and confusing, but lately thoughts that swing further back and settle into the center of my life as messages of wider influence than I originally had imagined. Today I went on [...]

The power of being. A love affair that stays and nurtures.

I like to think of my self as a strong woman, well not the bitch-type, but the one who can weather and endure the roller coaster ride of life, all those ups and downs inherent in living and yet still be comfortable in feminine yet alluring clothes. I can hold my own when I am [...]

Off to Southern California from Mendocino tomorrow morning to see family. I will be posting at least once or twice while I am gone. On our way down, we stopped in Redding for one night, south of Mt Shasta, and I went into an antique shop that had the most wonderful garden area in the [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
