oh joy. oh bliss. oh rapture. today i leap back into the world of the positive as i share with you some Very Good News: in the past hour, i received an email from ebay notifying me that the star next to my name is now blue.
yes, indeed. you are reading this from the fingertips [...]

today i work on deconstruction, disassembling a piece that i am unhappy with without any idea what it will look like when i put it back together. as i work, pieces of another less tangible cloth also in process of being reworked become clear:

it’s important to have recent pictures of loved ones - regardless [...]

one day i’m gathering red clay for autoquiltography two, the next day i’m enduring a police search that spanned hours, days, eons. my daughter - my beautiful, talented, intelligent, messy daughter was missing.
someone slipped a date rape drug into her drink, and the next thing she knew it was around 2 a.m. she called us. [...]

tuesday past: obeying wake up thought to check decorative stitching on [...]

still struggling with low to no energy, and still attribute it to allergies. no fun, but am hoping to be able to put it behind me soon thanks to the generosity of laney who sent me some kefir grains along with detailed instructions. (she’s so funny: said it was like getting a new pet!) here [...]

it’s monday, so it must be pottery. brought home my very first completed clay creation. sure, there are novice flaws, distinguishing characteristics that i prefer to see through the lens of wabi-sabi, the japanese celebration of imperfection. the notion that an object with flaws is a work of art because the imperfections make it truly [...]

won’t be long now. autoquiltography one is almost finished:

while being quiet, i upgraded to leopard, upgraded blog to wordpress 2.5 - both without incident, thank goodness, spent a week at the beach with my daughter, and i got my potter’s mark designed - at least i have a good start, knowing that it might change later. plus i learned a new photo editing [...]
