Julia Cameron “Julia” to me. I’m a huge fan(atic) of Julia’s. I feel like I know her well enough to be on a first name basis because I own most of her books, I’ve read them, and I stalked her once. Last fall I bumped into her at Starbuck’s in Santa Fe. I stalked her […]

I met my Muse in person yesterday. I do not fancy myself a quilter. I’ve made three quilts from different patterns in order to see what the fuss was all about. It’s way too restrictive for me. Too balanced and predictable. Too similar to my accounting career. I started this project with no plan and […]

I have debated (with myself) about what to do with the front porch this year. I love flowers and pots. However, there are several factors working against me; It has forgotten to rain this year. It has already been 100 degrees. It will continue to be 100 degrees. The wind has not stopped blowing since […]

Last Week I started playing with some fabric again with the hope that it would “oil the creative machine”. And it did. I had two pieces of the patched together batiks. I would make two 20″ throw pillows. I decided to try some free hand quilting with the embroidery foot of my Bernina. I guess it’s free […]

I have missed sewing this spring. I have really missed sharing with my CED 2011 artist friends. This spring was all cattle, horses, dogs and ranch stuff. The weather staid cool. So I was outside most days and exhausted most nights. Now the cattle are settled and the afternoons are hot and muggy. Mornings are for outside work (and […]

This fabric is so crazy and bright and passionate. It looks like an abstract painting. It ia another remnant I purchased at Santa Fe Fabrics in November. There are so few boutique fabric stores left anywhere. I am always on a mission to find them wherever I travel. This is how I finish the seams […]

The Creative Every Day Theme for February Is Passion I’m all about Passion. Passion is the word. That word for me is Red. I have a fairly large stash of red. Afterall, it is my favorite color. This remnant I found in a cute little shop close to San Francisco last fall. It was only 3/4 […]

My little antique cobblers bench with my favorite things in my studio I joined the Creative Creative Every Day Challenge 2011 hosted by Leah Piken Kolidas. Where I will post regularly my Fiber and Textile Art. I joined it for the last few weeks of 2010 and now can’t live without it. What a dynamic community […]

Seeing how this was Christmas week, I wasn’t exactly spending time in my studio. The most creative thing I’ve done with my fabrics this week is to tie a scarf around Puncher’s neck and attach a Santa hat to my cowboy hat. I made this pillow a few weeks ago before I started the blog. The fabric […]
