I was born with a pair of scissors in both hands. I love to cut. And cut up. And make things out of the stuff I cut. And the stuff I cut up.
Interests: paper arts, drawing, sewing, reading, and playing with words

1. I'm sorry.
2. Yes.
3. Apparently. If they're incredible, anyway.
4. I confess to two walks today and many other things to keep me from being indoors. I had to tell Prince Charming that I know I should cook that chicken in the fridge, I know we are going to need dinner, I know I need to do laundry, but I. Just. Cannot. Go. Inside. Pleas don't make me.

Cast your optics (and fire away).
Dear Reader, I was just minding my own business this morning; savoring that luxurious second cup of coffee and working the daily crossword. Yes, in ink. Yes, (yes!) in red ink; it's February! I guess I was pondering a more difficult clue when it happened. The insert from today's paper a...

Pincushion Ring(ssssss)
I like bowls. I like bowls full of good things. Zero-calorie bowlfuls of good things? Just lovely. Sometimes I make a lot of something(s) just so I can have a bowlful. Like this: It's my bowlful of pincushion rings. I only have ten fingers, but I've got nearly thirty rings now. A bowl...

Oh, Jenny, life is so full of unexpected things. I can't take them to Disneyland or buy them expensive gifts, but God lets me have an awful lot of fun with these children!

Custom Flooring
Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I had a friend who was replacing her parquet floor. I asked her to save some pieces for me, thinking I would use them to mend a bad spot in our own floor while we wait for the happy day when we replace ours. The bad spot was in a corner behind and un...
They are very "in the moment" and I love that about children. You never know what they'll remember or what they'll think is a big deal, but they enjoyed making their mark!

Canvas Trees
Yesterday morning, during my walk on the mean streets, I picked up a handful of magnolia leaves. I was remembering something beautiful I'd seen here. I messed about in my studio for just a bit this morning. I want to go back. Soon. With a few leaves from all the trees in the neighborh...
Well, there is that about those sturdy magnolia leaves, lol. But they sure make a nice canvas! Thank you for the lovely comment!
