quilted on a Handi Quilter Avante, thanks Lori! Did you know that I can literally flip the script? I can write backwards. I can also write with my non-dominant hand. It's not pretty but I can do it I can sign my name if necessary, somehow the script is better than printing. Go figure. The … Continue reading Flip the Script

What do you do with that
Alt title: On Being a Hot Mess In my kitchen are a gaggle of suitcases, two full with the accoutrement necessary for an upcoming teaching gig and a third waiting to be filled with things like my computer, and all that other stuff one needs when traveling. I'm bringing the color wheels, and so many … Continue reading What do you do with that

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
