And Thursday began wistfully, as I had to take down my show WHICH… I thought looked smashing (she said modestly…) but…time marches on and they have to sweep up and return the key to the space on Saturday so… …off we went, with a car full of art, as usual… and later on to […]
Mary lives in Tennessee but she keeps track of things. She emailed me that quilter Elizabeth Barton was going to speak on the 12th at the Columbia FiberArts Guild in Portland, so I went along to hear her. What a hoot. Barton is English, born and raised in York (though now living in Athens, Georgia)…and […]
We’re in denial about summer…we’re trying to do all the summer things still, and the sun IS shining… Today, after the car wash…(car wash fans…I think this series is amazing with the iPhone and here are three) we biked/walked at Minto and then headed to the MIG cart for lunch… only a couple weeks left […]
Almost exactly 4 years ago I posted a recipe for nectarine chutney, so I dusted off the recipe and tried it again. Yep—delicious…though this year I served it over ice cream with a small chocolate biscotti. YUM! (I almost always buy local…with NO stickers…but this was an exception…oops)
If you are in love with a 1992 Volvo, there will be some “moments”…like today when it just stopped running at Hansen and Argyle…but rescue arrived quickly… R said…”even when it’s dead it’s beautiful…” Awww. (Now we’re hoping Tom can fix it up.)
Went to Jonathan Bucci’s opening last night and really liked the show…paintings, sculpture and a lino cut or two. Though a sculptor, Jonathan has been working for a couple of years on a long series of views of a sprig of oregano. One of the best things in the show for me was a black […]
Today in the paper there was an article about the loss of the amazingly beautiful old oak tree in the Lord and Schryver home garden. One arborist thinks the tree might have been over four hundred years old, growing long before this area was settled…probably part of the oak groves that covered the Willamette Valley. […]
Last spring I went to a quilt romp in Alabama with a bunch of talented quilters. Victoria Findlay Wolfe was there, and she gave a bunch of us each one of her “Virgin of Guadalupe” originals (her own design) she’s had printed at Spoonflower. Here are a bunch of them… As the summer wanes I […]
Don’t forget the last “opening” down at Project Space…Wednesday September 5, 2012. It’s in the Metropolitan Building at 160 Liberty NE, from 5-8 p.m. Featured will be the work of Jessica Pierson, Mary Campbell, Phil Decker, Vasily Bodunov, Lupita Ruiz Tolento, Steve Anchell, Garrick Imatani, Corrie Loomis Dietz, Rosemary Cohen, Ann Kresge, Barbara Rowland, Barry […]
This cracked me up…
