Imagination Gives Us Wings

“I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief…for a time I rest in the grace of the world, and I am free.”

A skirt

I finished the skirt late Friday afternoon, and silly me, after it was done, I was thinking how great this would have looked on Vanessa Bell with a paintbrush in hand and a canvas in front of her or Virginia Woolf seated at her desk, pen in hand, writing her journal or finishing the [...]
The Silk Skirt

I am not a huge fan of flying. I have had this fear ever since I can remember. However, once the plane is steadied and I look around and see people relaxing, then I begin to relax and enjoy the mental space. My habit is to pick up a book and read [...]

New York City sunset from Central Park
My husband and I returned Monday evening to be greeted by our oldest daughter who had dinner waiting and a glass of wine. How nice to return home to a warm house with the lights on and the cats happy and a special greeting. Usually we arrive [...]

Mt. Hood near Portland, Oregon
My husband and I are leaving for a few days beginning tomorrow and returning on Monday evening. I most likely will not be posting, but when I return I will catch up with everyone’s news. Our weather in Portland is mild and a bit rainy, but we will be [...]

I am feeling a little rusty the last few days, needing an outdoor break I think, a long hike in the woods. I have been inside too much perhaps, and glued to my computer or sorting and labeling and pricing and well…too rusty for words. Guess I need a Sunday to unhinge and [...]
Sorting and Integrating

On my early morning walks, I have become accustom to listening to audio books. I was finding that I was not working through and reading the list of books I perpetually use as a guide, so I decided to borrow some audio books from the library. This morning, I finished listening to Azar [...]
Cotton History and Going Green
Posted in Clothing, Going Green, Nature, Places, Ruminating on January 30, 2010 | 17 Comments »
This book is a history book, a biography of cotton, and could possibly be read as an epic novel. I discovered it through an online quilt history list. Members of the list were praising the book for many reasons, one for the wealth of information, another for its fascinating read. I decided [...]

Symphony in White No. 2: The Little White Girl
1864 Whistler
It has been nearly a year ago that I began this blog under this name. Jude at Spiritcloth noted me in a post, and then it seemed to be a process of growth, the blog and my own. Previously I had a blog for [...]
