I published this on my birthday in 2009, 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.) For a few years […]

Another Art Saturday…
Up to Portland today to see some art before attending the artists’ reception at 12X16. Stopped at Elizabeth Leach Gallery to look at Malia Jensen’s “Shelved” which included bronze and cast crystal pieces and then a nice selection of Lee Kelly smaller works to compliment the big show of his work at The Portland Art […]
15 Minutes a Day…
I’m a big believer in 15 minutes a day…that’s how I got painting again in the mid 1990’s after a 10 year hiatus (and opening a restaurant…that slowed me down a bit). Lately I’ve been looking at quilting blogs and have enjoyed Victoria’s 15 minute play. I decided to head to the sewing room daily […]
The Garden Studio Build: day 4
They were here about 9:30 this morning (which is early, given that they come from Rainier). By 10:00 the shingles had started and by noon they Kevin was finishing the roof while Dan worked on shingles I went upstairs to sew about 1:30 and when I came down at 3:30 they were making progress! Wayne’s […]
The Quilted Conversation…

Last Gig at the Annex
What a nice last day! Sonia Allen came and did a mini print workshop with a group of 6 where did did the simplest possible print methods and what total fun. Here’s Sonia We had all prepared our “plates” for first embossing and then a simple intaglio-like process. Here’s what it looked like: After the […]
The “Hullabaloo”
What a weekend. The Roger Hull retirement festival (known here at home as the “Hullabaloo”) provided pure fun, reunions with friends and family, a tear or two, a nice goodbye. Well not goodbye really…his curatorial career continues…but goodbye to the classroom. As I stood in the back of the packed room I did reflect […]
Friday Report from the Annex…
The Annex studio is in the middle of a terrific park. Part of my time there involves letting the setting infiltrate my thinking. This week, after some warm weather, everything is just POPPING! Here’s the scene right outside my patio door: and a closer view reveals bleeding heart: these cool little bamboo things: One of […]
