This post has taken me longer than I originally thought it would – making goals and organizing my year has become a yearly goal, but this year I’m looking back and my fiber art really took an interesting turn. I’ve had some time to evaluate and have really loved a lot of the projects I’ve [...]

Sandra Dallas – a kindred spirit?

Share

I was catching up on some blog reading today and came across this post about “women’s art”  by Sandra Dallas:

 

I love quilts.  I appreciate the artistry and workmanship and the fact they are women’s art.  But mostly, I love finding the secrets they tell. But I also love samplers, because like quilts, they [...]

Life from Scratch – a book tour

Share

 

I am thrilled to be on a tour for “Life from Scratch” by blogger Melissa Ford (Stirrup Queens).

My first confession, is that I’ve only NOW subscribed to Melissa’s blog and frankly when I read the story I thought it was pretty much another “Julie & Julia” redo.

Not to burst that bubble, but [...]

Day 4: Your favorite book…are you serious?

Share

If you read my blog at all – AND happen to follow me on Goodreads (which I can’t say enough good about by the way) – you’ll know I’m a HUGE book lover. HUGE! Massive! Like I can’t imagine NOT having a book to read.  According to my records from there, I’ve ready 44 novels [...]

Books (my other love) and I digress…

Share

Life has been upside down here – we’ve uprooted the house, and moved the office and the kids are starting a new school in a new district in just a few weeks. I feel like I’m at the last mile of a very very very (did I mention “very”) long race. This is a summer [...]

Rain, literature and cats, a very Perfect Moment Monday

Share

It’s been a week since  posted! Yikes! Well, really a week and a day because I’m late with this. It’s been insane around here, getting caught up with work (which has gotten really busy), showing the house (which isn’t busy enough) and just all around stressing about a multitude of things.

However, last Wednesday evening, [...]

My thanks – a tour around the web

Share

Thanks everyone for your support of my post yesterday. Now that I have it all out (writing is good for the soul), I’m less ticked off about it and ready to move on – but everyone’s comments and suggestions were great (here and on Facebook) so thanks!

So, I was reading my morning smattering of [...]

Lace, Lace everwhere!

Share

This is a quick and fun read if you’re into women’s relationships, historic needlework, crafting or fashion (totally up my alley!).

Kate Robinson is a fashion designer who’s mother has just died of cancer, who’s boyfriend just dumped her. So, she leaves the mess of her life behind her and heads on a pre-planned [...]

The Mary Frances Sewing Book

Share

After living 37 years of my life with the old fashioned name Mary-Frances, trust me, it catches my eye when I see the name in print. I was reading an email from one of my listserves and it mentioned a store in Berkeley, CA. My brother went there to law school so I went to [...]
