Eyebrows on a dog...well, why not? Maybe eyelashes next?? HA!
I can swear to the fact that Savannah is not the best place to be in the summer. Heat and humidity all the time. I love it here, though.

Random Morning Ramblings.
Today is a funny day. A huge storm rolled in last night, but it was the oddest storm. Hot wind, very hot wind with thick clouds of humidity. My mom called on the phone and said, are you getting hit with a storm? A haboub is on its way to you. No sooner had she called than a wall of orange th...
Hello to all! I'm here and everything seems to be in good working order.
Looking forward to the class!

Welcome to the Spirit Cloth 101 Workshop Thank you for being here. I created this workshop to teach the basics of my cloth making style. I have given many classes devoted to specific techniques and concepts, but in the process, I never really approached teaching from this simpler ...
What am I up to today? Cleaning up the studio and dodging the large, heavy shelf that fell off of the wall! Fortunately, it missed me but my clay creation Delmar got his foot broken. :(

Séraphine de Senlis, Art Thoughts & More...
I don't know about you, but there is something incredibly inspiring about walking into a studio and seeing paint lining shelves. Paint on floors and walls, splatters here and there. Lingering memories of works completed, and long gone... And then, the scent. Oil paints, thinners, sealers... ...
Wonderful post! I've been going through a "studio crisis" lately, too. I have a lovely carriage house with a great space for my studio, however we often have friends and relatives come to visit and guess where they stay? The carriage house. If I've been going great guns working on something, I have to stop, clean up, put things away...and by the time company leaves, I've lost my mojo, or forgotten what I was trying to do, or just lost interest. I recently decided to move my studio to the third floor of our house. No one ever goes up there except me, anyway. It isn't a perfect solution, because I won't be able to move all of my supplies or handy tables, but at least I'll still be able to work while our guests are in the carriage house. "Adapt And Overcome" is my motto for this year!

Your Personal Studio Space
Recently, this note popped into my email box. I completely related to her situation and thought some of you folks would as well. ... my art studio is a good walk from the house, I like it because I can leave it messy, and do not have to worry about spills. (But), it is cold, and lonely out the...
Yum! Everything looks delicious! Fried lemons? Never heard of that, but it sounds interesting.
Steve looks happy...I would say he likes his new fryer that Santa brought him.

So much to write about, so little time!
This was New Year's Day dinner.... notice the black eyed peas.....Steve has been having trouble frying his fish and seafood because he's been using a propane tank outside and he can't control the heat very well. Frying indoors is out of the question because I can't stand the smell of grease, ...
Oh, that shop sounds delightful! Your Coach bag and the coat and rhinestone pins are ooh la la! DOn't you love it when you find vintage stuff that you adore?

Gringo's with Alex and a Vintage Find
We went to Gringo's tonight, a treat from Alex. He works there waiting tables, doing some cooking, and contributing some artwork (the front door). It was fun, he was quite the star....everyone was loving him, we got to see old neighbors, the food was fabulous, it was all wonderful. Thanks Ale...
Clever girl! I enjoyed reading this post!

Franciscan Trio
I have these dishes that I have been using every day since about 1993. They are squarish and rather modern looking. I love them. My neighbors in Shadowlawn thought they were ugly. I knew they were special from the moment I saw them and now I have confirmation. It went like this.... I had e...
Aw, I feel your pain about the snow. I'm so glad to be living where there isn't any. Snow makes everything so difficult. Especially walking. When I still worked and had to cross the big parking lot to get to the building, my friend Viv and I did what we called "The Old Lady Shuffle" on the ice. We occasionally fell down anyway. It sounds like you're handling it the best way possible...brie and smoked oysters and wine!

Apres Snow
Four days later and I'm feeling like "Ahhhhhh Ahhhhhhh" Sam Kinnison! Get me out of here! Why do people live in places like Wisconsin? Go to where the heat is!!! I think the snow is groovy for a few days, but wow, I would not like to live in it for very long. Steve is having the time of his l...
How much snow did you get? It actually sprinkled some snow here yesterday, but it didn't stick. It's cold today, will be in the 60's by Thursday and 72 by New Years day. Weird weather. We are still painting. It's kicking my butt. I'm exhausted.

Snow Day!
Wow, we can't believe how long and how hard it has been snowing. Normally, we would be out walking in it, but it's so windy and so wet, we don't want to! Our poor dogwoods and riverbirches are drooping and the neighbor's cypress trees are bent double. I hope they all recover. Steve is playing...

I don't think I ever saw that "before" picture...you really did have some fixin' to do! Yes, your aunt and uncle have picked the paint colors. Wisteria blue for the living room and frost for the breakfast room. We got the paint last night and will be starting on the painting very soon. I hope I'm up to the task!

On the Cusp
As we roll out of the Winter solstice and into...whatever comes next, we are gearing up for an eleven day break from work. During the winter holidays we have what they call "liberal leave" at work, where they turn down the heat in the buildings and ask folks to use their annual leave, so we are...

The Veranda Perspective
I will admit that we are obsessed with the lifestyle of Italy and France. After visiting Italy, we spent months poring over Italian cookbooks, French cookbooks, reading and rereading Frances Mayes and Peter Mayle. We talked for hours on end about how we admired the Italian way of life, their co...
