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 […]

I will say it again…. This is my most favorite-est project to date. I see a pattern developing here. My first real “commissioned” piece is for my cousin and dear friend, Karen. She asked me to make two pillows for her mom, (My Aunt Kaye) for her birthday. I think she’s turning 85 next month. I […]

This Old Dog

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 […]

Creative Everyday Challenge Weekly Check-In While T.H. and I were wandering around Salida, Colorado enjoying the cool weather, I discovered another set of vintage quilt blocks . They were a bit more expensive than the $18 I paid in Wichita. They were $40 (started at $55) which was do-able. However, they were slightly yellowed with […]

This little white dog and I have much in common. Misti and I are both women of a certain age. We want to help but mostly we want everyone to do things our way. We arrive uninvited and try to rearrange situations to suit ourselves. We are offended when the very people we are trying […]

I commissioned the designers of 99Designs to design me a logo. I’ve never done anything like this before. It was a leap of faith. It was scary and fun. I want to know what you all think. I’m developing my blog into a new website and hopefully a platform to write, tell stories, and eventually […]

I know I’ve said this before. But this may very well be my favorite project to date. In reality I’m just finishing a project started by someone else. I regularly breeze through my favorite antique mall in Wichita looking for vintage textiles and sewing notions. I spotted this stack of quilt blocks for $18. There […]
