I took so many photos, many more than is reasonable. What a great looking book!

Here and there and back again
The bird and I flew the coop. Stitching continued on the East Coast in Providence and on Cape Cod, spending time with my sister. Trees... Waves... And clouds filled the days. (Along with a lot of pastries, mushrooms, wine, and walking to balance it all out!) ...
Whoosh!

I’m working on a new book of blue. There are piles of blue scraps all over the table. It’s kind of like working in an ocean. We celebrated 41 years yesterday. Who would’ve ever thought?! I found this picture in my phone yesterday. No idea when or where? We spent time last nig...
Thank you, there have been ups and downs, a lot of hard work, so many stories, and it’s definitely been worth it. These old photos – they feel like yesterday and a million years ago all at once.

It was a beautiful sunny day for it. Fresh indigo blues are the best!

Thanks so much Barbara. Those early years were good, but so filled with young adult angst and other things, I’m grateful for the comfort and calm in the now. I’m so curious to see the garment district for myself!

You’re a sweet, generous soul, dear Tina! Chapters is a very good way to think about life. There certainly have been stormy ones! We’re very happy to be resting in the current one. Oxo.

The swatches, and hearing the story of them, may be one of my favorite gifts ever from him. 54, amazing! Isn’t it great to have a lifetime of memories and stories to share.

He really is! Thanks Nancy, after some roller coaster years, life does seem to be letting us coast here for a bit (knock wood!).

A wonderful image, thank you, Tina!

Begun at the beach. Often stitching feels like drawing, but these birds are more of a sketching process. Each stitch shaping the figure. They take time and consideration, along with some erasing (unstitching). The surprise of them, the not knowing how they will look in the end, is fu...
They can carry a lot.

We don’t see each other often, but it’s always a comfortable fun time when we do. Isn’t it wonderful how much delight birds carry in our world?

Thanks, Tina, especially for the addition of your beautiful cloths. Doesn’t the water and waves make you want to go on forever?

You’ve reminded me of Janie… she had rose colored glasses so that the world looks softer. This is my very favorite time of year. 🍂

I should send you a photo (if it would all hold still long enough)! It was a really good trip 🌊🌊🌊

It was next to impossible. I’ll be taking the bus next time!

Much appreciated, Barbara. I will definitely try relaxation techniques next time. My blood pressure has always been low, and is probably still in the normal range when I’m not stressed up the wazoo! (I was a mess just dealing with the parking garage!) Fortunately, she didn’t jump to prescription conclusions just yet.
