11-1-11 What an excellent number. Balanced. Symmetrical. Primal. What an excellent number for a day. Today, I’ve been blogging for one year. One blog post has turned into nearly 100. One friend has grown into scores and scores. Today, 11-1-11. I am grateful. One is (not) the loneliest number.You fill […]

Tip Dear Friends, One week after I posted the blog about This Old Dog, Tip , he left me behind and went to the other side. There was an accident and he was gone. I was unprepared for the extent of my grief. I wasn’t ready. I was happy taking care of my old friend […]

After my recent epiphany that quilting is like Canned Soup (artistically speaking, of course, for myself only) I know I can do this myself and it will taste better. I purchased one item. A Bernina Free Hand Quilting Foot for $40. Then I watched a couple videos on YouTube. This is our maiden voyage. I am in […]

In June I blogged about my non-process of putting this quilt together. Fiber Art 10, My Muse Was In The Room I was so excited about it at the time, then I let it sit for three months before I took it to my Custom Quilter to finish. I am in a quandary as to […]

Last November I spent a week with my Aunt Sandra in Santa Fe. I called it a week long “Artist’s Date”. Aunt Sandra had a successful Interior Design Business in the 1980’s. While I was there she bestowed upon me her “Stash” of designer fabrics. They would qualify now as vintage or retro. I get […]

This year I have witnessed a huge shift in consciousness on this ranch regarding dogs and cattle. Specifically, T.H.’s regard for my dog and our cattle. T.H. has evolved to a higher place energetically and he doesn’t even know it. A normal person would not notice. But I notice. I’m borderline psychic. In the old […]

This old dog. My dog, Tip. The spot where I usually find him. If I can find him. He’s been at my feet or behind my horse for 13 years. He went on his last cattle drive a year ago. Tip and I have been through a lot in our life. He’s on his second […]

I have not forsaken y’all. I’ve been through a bit of a “dry” time with my writing. Another “discombobulation” . –it happens. In the meantime, I’ve experienced a creative burst with my sewing. I pulled this out of the stash bestowed upon me by my very alive Aunt in Santa Fe. It’s a floor sample […]

This ranch is burnt up with drought. But everyday, on my walks and on my horse I can still find pockets of beauty. The Monarchs come twice a year. They’re headed south this time. The oldtimers say there used to be more. I’m grateful for these. There seems to be a side show going […]
