Labor day weekend was busy..family stuff, and a bit of consumer-ism. First though I finished the little black quilt…started with a piece of Cynthia’s and ending with advice from Gwen Marston to cut it into squares…which I did. Add another one to the growing pile: We bought a little electric grill for our patio (only […]

Progress!!!
I was looking for a particular photo the other day, and ran across this one. The year is 1993 and that year Roger Hull (here on the left), Marcia Hoak and a merry band of volunteers spearheaded the planting of trees along State Street between 14th and 17th in a program they called State Street […]
Goodbye to August…
And we aren’t really ready to say goodbye…are we? Our last August beach weekend was spent with Doug & Marie, Em and Fin and Fin’s friend Kellen. For me it began in a predictable way with a trip to you-know-where: and we arrived on a gorgeous sunny afternoon: Saturday there were various things going on, […]

A Beautiful Sunday at the Beach
One of those gorgeous sunny days which included chores positioning Karen’s chair to hold up the fuschias a bike ride around Cutler City with a stop at the end of Fleet for a bay view discovery of a job I wouldn’t want to have (and I’m not kidding…the sticker really was on one little tomato…) […]
What Pleases Our Eyes
Working on the wedding ring “dismantling” this morning has put me in touch with everything China said about cut and sew-cut and sew, and also the more over-reaching aspect of making any kind of art work. How do we know what color to use, which fabric to choose, when a painting or collage or quilt […]
Project Space…8-19-10
Paula and I worked for quite a while today…she preparing for a show, me just keeping on. She’s finding the large walls and open spaces in PS3 to be a tonic: I started the day thinking I’d make collages, but instead went straight to reassembling the double wedding ring:
