Monkey Trouble

WOW! Literally, 6 months since I last wrote. I’ve been quite negligent. It’s very difficult to blog. What do I talk about? I’m having some computer issues right now so I’m posting from my phone for the first time.  Hopefully the computer issues will be resolved soon (waiting on a battery), so here is a […]

A Mish-Mash of Distraction

So it’s been a long,long,long,long time since I’ve written….so I figured I’d say hello. It seems as if I’ve had a difficult time finishing some projects, but I have had small successes finishing others. My mind has all of this stuff flying through it and I can’t control it. I see something I like and […]

The Fiber Arts

In Progress

I feel like those who “create” only show their finished products but not the projects that either failed, or are still in progress, or were tossed to the side. I’ve taken photos of the things I create while I’m making it and then decide after the fact whether to keep going or whether to scrap […]

Let It Snow

Happy Hanukkah! Merry Christmas! Happy Festivus! Happy Holidays! As the holidays draw to a close, I wish all great 2013. I wanted to share some holiday gifts given during the festivities….

Well Hello Dolly

Hello, Dolly / Well, hello, Dolly / It’s so nice to have you back where you belong- lyrics by Louis Armstrong My “doll” debut began in 2008.   I originally started with a larger scale doll and reduced her down to about 10 inches (the original doll was about double the size).  I created this small pattern for […]
