If you are looking for a memorable dinner in Seattle, off the beaten path, exquisite, attention to detail, carefully sourced food…I’ve got just the place…The Corson Building…(5609 Corson Avenue, S…Seattle) The building was at one time a family home and business that sold statuary, and is located in an industrial area south of Seattle, called […]

The four featured painters are Mark Tobey, Morris Graves, Kenneth Callahan and Guy Anderson, with work also by George Tsutakawa, Paul Horiuchi and […]
In July I dashed to New Mexico for a luxurious and fun week with Mary, a friend from the Chicago days (we go wayyy back…). I flew in from Portland and she from Chicago… and we met at the airport. After a great dinner and proper toast we headed out of Albuquerque for Mary’s house… […]
This month the Tuesday quilt group met at Olga’s and she had a few quilts thrown over the railing like a medieval castle… Her house is comfy and fun…here’s something I spied… Linda and Kathleen had shared a piece of fabric in the mystery quilt challenge, and this was the reveal…here’s Linda’s version (front and […]
We went to Minto Park today and reminded ourselves what we were doing out there in 2012… getting ready for a wedding… and two years later we have a new guy to hang out with… and though it was HOT today, it was nothing like August 4, 2012, when it was 104…phew!
We’re very sad today thinking about our friend Tyko who died in an accident last weekend. Tyko was a carpenter, an entrepreneur, a friend, an artist. He remodeled a garage into an office/studio for us at the beach, and in 1995 put an addition on our (1849) Court Street house that changed the way we […]
Once we thought of calling our house “Hydrangea House” but we gave it up, though we didn’t give up hydrangeas. This morning early I made the rounds to see how everybody was doing, noting that early morning light is harsher on the plants, photographically speaking, than later on…but still, they look good…big blue and little […]
I haven’t been in the studio much…Italy, 4th of July, grandbaby….so today I sort of sunk in for a while. It’s cool out there in the studio (temperature wise, I mean) totally shaded by a walnut tree and a bay tree intertwined. As is my habit, I try to find some past work to look […]
I took a bunch of my art work over to Monmouth last week for Eric Olsen’s Edward’s Addition open house, and the next day R and I went to see how it came out. The house is very nice, all on one floor, and it was total fun to see my work looking rather nice […]
So after the Umbrian idyll and saying good bye to loved ones we headed… yep…back to Florence for two lovely days. We found the restaurant Garga right near our hotel…I’d taken a cooking class from Sharon back in 2001 when the restaurant Garga was on Via del Moro…and we had a fabulous dinner… ending with […]
