I have been having much of the fun lately playing with thread and paint and paper. I decided to share a bit of it with you. To that end you can now find a few new creations in my little shop. Stop by and let me know what you think.
Have a lovely Monday and don’t [...]

Playing and such
A Study of Doors in My Life
One of the prompts for the “There’s No Place Like Home” Class deals with doors in our lives. It gives you an opportunity to think about all of the doors in your life. This could be friends and family or daily routine doors… the possibilities are endless… but I choose none of these because I [...]
Home is…
home is…

Already having fun with Shimelle’s class. This prompt gave me a chance to look at what home means to me… which is something that I am quite fond of exploring. I decided that for me home is where the people I love are {wow… that is a lot of [...]
Sunday Supplies
Yesterday I celebrated my Easter Sunday quite simply- by getting outside and enjoying the wonder of Spring in my new home. I started by gathering some supplies: water, my iPod, some poetry by Rainer Maria Rilke and a lovely bag from a wondermous friend to hold it all in. Then I went to [...]
“There’s No Place Like Home”
I am so very, very excited. Tomorrow Shimelle’s class “There’s No Place Like Home Class” starts and I can barely wait.

Leap
More playing. I am really having fun with the paper sewing technique that I learned from Shimelle. This is the first time that I have done anything like this. This creation (i can’t really call it a painting) is completely mixed media. It incorporates- sewing, painting, collage, stamping, ink drawing and some words [...]

Unfortunately, right when we got Bertrand he had to have surgery- so quite unhappily he has been having to wear an Elizabethan Collar- which makes him less than pleased. Other than that he seems quite happy with his new [...]
Dreaming of Paris
Today is not a day for the mundane, but alas– here the mundane surrounds me. Laundry to be done, dishes to wash, cats to medicate….
Today I should have woken up in a luxury suite in Paris. A light knocking at the door would rouse me around eleven with the news that my breakfast of cafe [...]
Unabashedly Girly
Colouring my hair is a secret vice of mine- not that I think that it is bad for me, but because it is a sure thing that I can do to get a little lift. I can go to the store pick out something… saucey- or spunky- maybe sweet- but something- then I can go [...]
