What a great way to start spring. For the past 18 years, I’ve celebrated our wedding date. One of my best art friends also celebrates her birthday. Happy Birthday Carol! Today is especially sweet for receiving the official email for a juried show entered last month. At first glance, blurry eyed and no coffee inContinue reading “Accepted!”

My nephew made me do it!
Really, he was the inspiration to get me throwing today. This is what he accomplished with a foot powered wheel. I’m so impressed!!! He lives way out in Connecticut and is a freshman in high school. He is a fab tuba player, amazing student and a pretty darn good artist when he wants to. I’veContinue reading “My nephew made me do it!”
Happy Holidays!
Happy Holidays to all! Thanks for all your interest and support this year. Looking forward to great new adventures in 2013! I’m sporting a great gift from an incredible girlfriend in Colorado.

Visiting a new shop
To escape some of the life drama surrounding things in Eugene, I encouraged my sister to take me to a yarn shop. This didn’t require much arm twisting since my sister is a weaving fiber nut and knows all the locations around town. We went to Soft Horizons Fibre. They really have a lovely gardenContinue reading “Visiting a new shop”
Blood Transfusion
Tuesday was spent hanging out at Riverbend hospital for my dad’s blood transfusion. What a LONG day! We arrived at 10am and he was locked in until almost 7pm. We were located some where back in the rabbit warren behind ER or so they said. They did have a comfy bed for him to restContinue reading “Blood Transfusion”
Dear (Deity of Choice)
Dear (fill in your deity of choice here), I just wanted to check in and see how things are going. From the looks of it, you’ve been a tad overworked and might have placed a bit too much on my plate. I understand that you have to place cancer in everyone’s life these days, butContinue reading “Dear (Deity of Choice)”
Sunny in Eugene
I was in Eugene for another day. Kim took a nice break this afternoon to have lunch with a friend and a colorful trip to some of the fabric stores. Something positive and bright for her day. Lee is hanging in there. Breathing is about the same. Temp at 98. Eating more food and havingContinue reading “Sunny in Eugene”
Mushy brain
That would be ME having a mushy brain right now! I think all the stress from the past several weeks hit last night and I really wasn’t functioning well. Sleep wasn’t great, but I did get some. Today I’m laying low in anticipation of heading down tomorrow. Kim needs a full day break with noContinue reading “Mushy brain”
Coming down to the wire…. and it’s moved!
For the past week, on and off, I’ve been trying to wrap my brain around a working concept for a call to artists. Actually, the contemplation has been ruminating for the past several months. The artwork, a site specific installation, would be shown in an empty storefront of one of our local rural towns. MyContinue reading “Coming down to the wire…. and it’s moved!”
