Twenty-four Hours Early
Morning dawned bright and early, it was probably more overcast and breezy. I, did however, get up early like 4:30 am early. Sleep for women of a certain age can get sketchy and then there's the weird dreams wherein I wake up feeling as though the conversations last all night long. When the beep, beep, … Continue reading Twenty-four Hours Early
Holy Week
It's happened often enough that I miss it that when I'm quilting I lose all sense of what's around me, focusing in on what I'm doing, what's happening under the needle that there is such a freedom and quiet in my head, it's sublimely sweet. I've been in that space in prayer once that I … Continue reading Holy Week
When the Blaze Becomes Intense, but it’s not what I thought
Over on TerifiCreations I've mentioned that I'd love to spend a day writing sensational, click-bait style headlines both for fun and the creative exercise it is. If I actually did this it would over time become part of the lexicon of my brain. I need to plan this day sometime soon for in and of … Continue reading When the Blaze Becomes Intense, but it’s not what I thought

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
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 app itself is cool too. https://www.instagram.com/p/CW3flHVJFEW/ The Front Porch. Of all … Continue reading Of Lavender Skies
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 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
Breathe in Me O Holy Spirit
