I was so excited when I went to my mailbox yesterday to find a note and photos of a quilt using my fabric. The woman who won the free fabric samples at Craft Warehouse in Vancouver, WA was kind enough to share her creation. Margaret told me that her mother was a piano teacher so [...]
I LOVE my new Beetle! I have wanted a red bug for more than 8 years. Before I got my last car – a practical silver, Honda Accord – I wanted a bug. (Don’t get me wrong, loved the Honda, but not like I love my bug!) My husband at the time said “No way” [...]
I am very excited about my second green-themed calendar, published by Trends International. Last year it was about Green actions – play green, shop green, act green, etc. This year, I combined quotes with art that includes either recycle symbols, the earth or some other green related elements. Now available in stores and online – [...]
It’s official! It’s time to start thinking about colleges for Kyle…
How did this happen? I vividly remember researching pre-schools and then *POOF* – now it’s time to look at colleges? Since he will be entering his Junior year and not want to spend every 3 day weekend going on road trips, we [...]
I’ve never really thought about oysters and how they exist before being topped with lemon on the half shell… but this past weekend Craig and I headed to the Oregon coast, met up with Paul and Lana Jane Brent and the four of us took an excursion north. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect [...]
…doesn’t actually start until July 5th. It’s common lore and very often feels like a fact!
I remember the first year I lived in the Northwest – way, way back in 1994, we were wearing long sleeves and celebrating the 4th of July indoors – it was cold and pouring rain outside. This was a far [...]
Hopefully slightly less eventful than mine! I was heading to the Oregon Coast on Saturday for Lana Jane Brent’s birthday party and all of the sudden heard a weird sound… I found myself 10 miles from civilization, on the side of a narrow road, with a major flat. No problem! Get the cell phone, [...]
It’s been a little over a year since I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know artist Paul Brent. On the day this post goes “live”, I will be exhibiting at the SURTEX show in New York a few rows over from Paul and his art. I took his class the first year I exhibited [...]
Yesterday I had to get a crown on my tooth.
It’s my second and I have to say, not my favorite part of getting older! But at least I have a dentist I trust implicitly and who has a sense of humor. If you are stuck in the chair for 2 hours, you might as well [...]
My son just spent a week as an “Outdoor School Camp Counselor”. He came home one day (he’s in 10th grade), put a paper in front of me and said, “I’m going to do this. I get to miss school for a week – but I make up the work, teachers have to sign off [...]
