Nothing but prep…
I was prepping this week, prepping for everything: my Open House, sending off “Stipa Gigantea” to Art=Quilt=Art, my son’s wedding and teaching. After intense, all-day work for 4 days straight, the Open House went well. This was primarily for Hubby’s golfing friends and we planned for 50.

San Diego and an Open House

Every year I envision summer as this bucolic period when I catch up and get to relax a bit. Not this summer! The crazy move/remodel has overtaken my life and there are still many details to attend to. I wonder how long it will be before I have a week where I don’t pick up […]
Dying Organza and a few new things in my studio
I’m down to the details of finishing my studio and I am looking forward to more creative time and less shopping, installing, returning and measuring time.
