Sometime after Jen Fulwiler posted this video on Instagram I downloaded the Hallow app. Hang with me here friends this will have the Teri Lucas quilting winding thing happening. I'm still working my way through St. Francis de Sales Introduction to the Devout Life, sometimes I pause the reading because I need to think and … Continue reading A different look
This deserves a good title but I don’t know what
When I'm on a deadline or really deeply into machine quilting I watch, and by watch I mean have playing in the background, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy - the extended versions. I have two due dates coming up fairly quickly so it's been on for hours. I'm flitting back and forth between my … Continue reading This deserves a good title but I don’t know what
Of Lavender Skies
Before I dig into that which is on my heart this morning I bring you Jen Fulwiler talking about the Hallow App. She is hilarious and this is, by far, one of the best promotions for product I've seen in a long time.

The beginning of our Liturgical year, a time of preparation for the coming of God into humanity, one focusing on the virtues of hope, peace, joy and love.

Getting Unstuck
If you read TerifiCreations I shared a lot about Get Unstuck with Jen Fulwiler. The thing that was hardest for me but proved the most beautiful was accepting and asking for help. Even before Get Unstuck I'd made the decision to make a class this last week even knowing that I'd be taking two days … Continue reading Getting Unstuck
It’s not as though I’m keeping my Thoughts to Myself
Nearly every morning since early September I've watched the sunrise from my front porch. I remain in awe of the unique beauty of each further revealing the mystery of Creation. Less obscured by buildings and God's object d'art these moments fill the sky with sublime beauty. One sunrise the firmament was so clear, the morning … Continue reading It’s not as though I’m keeping my Thoughts to Myself
It’s Not All About Me
Like so many others who quilt or create there is a strange dichotomy lived wherein I want to both hide under the table and never have my work seen until I am a posthumous hit; but also have my work seen as though I'm dancing through a torrential storm with great glee, face up, pelleted … Continue reading It’s Not All About Me

Morning Reading
I had a terrible thing happen over the last two days. I FINISHED two books. Finishing a book is a terrible thing indeed. It's almost as though this new friend has stopped walking and talking with you. This all happened just before the sunrise this morning. How ever will I continue on with this day, … Continue reading Morning Reading
