I worked retail for many, many years. Most of the time I really enjoyed it. I’m good with the B. S. and have a talent for merchandising. Shoes to kitchenware to fabric.
The holidays, however were a completely different tune. I became burnt and more than a little humbug about them. To be honest, my retail [...]

I have spent most of this morning getting things uploaded to my Etsy shop. I’m having fun! Here’s the thing I still can’t figure out. How does one pronounce Etsy if you want to use it in conversation? Is it like the name Betsy without a B? I [...]
Sneak Peak

If it’s not my organized chaos, it has to be perfect. If it’s perfect, I don’t want to mess it up. It’s really best for me to maintain a certain level of constant near chaos. It’s really just cluttered looking organization. Mess with it and I am lost. [...]
Sometimes

Sometimes you get what you ask for. Even when it’s not necessarily what you thought you meant. I wanted permission from the universe to be done with something. I said I would need a significant sign that I’m headed in the right direction to continue. S.F.D. I know it’s all good, but that doesn’t mean [...]

You just haven’t done anything rotten enough to force you to read the tangle of verbiage that is coming out today. Enjoy this little quilt. Who can tell me it’s size? I gave you a clue!
Trails

This weekend is the apex of the Leonid meteor shower. There’s a field approach off a certain county road. A friend and I went every year, and we saw some amazing stuff! I can still see the green tail, almost comet like, that swept all the way across the sky before it disappeared. We [...]
Crazy Ass War

So, this blog is my safe place where I can whine about things I try to stay upbeat about on my other blog. Ok, not so much upbeat, as much as I just don’t like to express how utterly sad and overwhelmed I get about the war, and the project I have undertaken. [...]
Brunch

The big cold and I slept in this morning. (Unemployment has it’s advantages.) What joy! I slept through the night without any nasty coughing spells where my lungs were nearly redirected to different living quarters!
Since it was really too late to have breakfast after I did some yoga. ( Really, the new me does yoga [...]
First Embrace
Posted in quilts, self on November 15, 2007 | 1 Comment »
First Embrace. The title of one of my favorite little quilts. This technique was a first attempt at something even less traditional than what I had found myself doing again, and more a reflection of my true self.
Hopefully that is what this blog will be. A place where I can express all [...]
