What’s Your Story?
Everybody has a story …or two. IMHO, it’s the listening part of storytelling that is the most healing. Being heard is what we all require. We can say, “Yes, you are beside me and I hear you.” I first became aware of this in a conscious way just before my...
Losing Friends
It seems that many of my human friends are losing their four-legged friends lately. In addition to puppy and dog portraits, I am doing memorial images. We are so grateful for their unconditional love and miss it so. The portraits are started by studying photographs of...
Striped Pajamas
The excuse for last week’s non post, as excuses go, merits little explanation. For my birthday last weekend, among all the many kindnesses, someone gave me a cold. On we go… Striped Pajamas. It’s not about the children’s song I learned from Captain Kangaroo about...
The Calico Dog, My Rebellious Entry into Sewing
Sixth grade. I found the pattern in Mom’s woman’s magazine. I don’t now where I got the fabric; it wasn’t really calico, but definitely not gingham. So, though the poem talks of a gingham dog and calico cat, I made a calico dog. Rebellious start to finish! The...
Marie Kondo, Filing, Letting Go, and Dust Bunnies

This is Hope.
She was rescued by a friend to avoid being euthanized. She is looking for a very special forever home. Hope is an older dog and has abuse issues. She is good with humans. She does not mix well with other pets. She needs a home with no other animals nor small children (no history here, just precaution) and a secure yard. Please consider how you might help. Thank you.
Working on my submission to the Fiber Artists of San Antonio exhibition “The Artist’s Pantry”. My inspiration is Van Gogh’s Decanter, lemons and oranges, 1887
Sewing this up now!
It’s only scheduled to be 97 degrees today. Guess I’ll fire up the heat press!!!
Two quilts delivered! Yay!!!
This shirt has wonderful curly strips all over. However, they were sewn on with thread that MELTS WHEN IRONED!! So, tired of repairing it, I decided to make it my own and sew down the curlies! Not finished, but having a good time. 🤓
Very loved quilt has received new life. This was hard, but fun!
Happy Birthday!!🎈
