I published this on my birthday in 2009, and also in 2011, but I still think it tells my story, so let’s go again!! Today is my birthday and I’ve attained a certain age. I have plans, things to do, places to go. But today I’m looking back. (I tried to cut my own bangs–oops.) […]

…On the Design Wall…
Here’s a quilting update..red and white quilt finished..design good, applique not so good, quilting good+… I’m slowly turning the Indian skirt I got at Value village into a log cabin-ish quilt…it was a bunch of strips sewn together which I took apart… then cut the strips in half… added strips from an old sheet… voila: […]
How to get to Cutler City
Nan turned me on to the Art House Co-op in Brooklyn last year and I’ve bought and sent in a couple of sketch books for their Sketchbook Project. But every week they have a free project…(one week it was to photograph your lunch at noon on a certain date and send them the photo so […]
…And Speaking of Books…
I got thinking of a book I made a few years ago for a show at Mary Lou Zeek’s… each artist was sent a book and had to make something out of it…I’ve always wondered where this one went?
Clay Ball, 2012
Last night was the13th annual “Clay Ball” wherein artists and “patrons” come together to support the arts in our community. The theme this year was the 60’s…Mad Men-inspired…and people took it seriously and came dressed for the moment… there was a photo booth with “props” lovely blondes everywhere… friends discussing auction items (…”should we go […]
Quilt Update…
So much creative stuff to do, so little time…learning “brushes” on the iPad, sent off the little quilt for Baby Evelyn using left-over pieces of binding from the “Dwelling” project… and she seems to like it…(awww..so cute!) Today I have the Value-Village-sheet quilt on the design wall trying to decide if the zig-zags (I seem […]
“The Art of Communication”
The 10th annual “100 Artists” show at the Mary Lou Zeek Gallery opens next week, with the “celebration” being first Wednesday, February 1st at the gallery. I’ve had a piece in most of these 10 shows, and it’s always fun. This year artists were paired randomly and asked to communicate with each other and find […]
ArtMarket…
Put it on your calendar…December 9th…5:00-8:00 p.m….Bush Barn Gallery…ArtMarket will preview. Featured will be items made by local artists out of materials of “little intrinsic value” meant to be handled and sold very cheap. My particular entry will be 5 small duct (or, as it is now called, “duck”) tape “quilts.” These are mostly about […]
Housekeeping
That’s what I’m doing today…housekeeping…trying to run the software for my new camera, do the laundry, clean up the mess I left here at home while getting ready for the trip east… you know the drill, I’m sure. When we got home I attacked the bin of mail that had accumulated and there in the […]
Reviewing:
Carolyn’s coming for our annual art week, which means combing through past work for ideas, methods, images. While looking at my photos I thought I might just post some of my own work…it’s MY blog after all? Mostly because all my posts of late look about the same and seem to be about trees. So…not […]
