So, as you know, I’ve had a cold for the last few days, and I’ve been using the enforced down time to bind two quilts. And through all of that time, I’ve often had a little five-year-old companion. He hops up on the couch, finds the small crook behind my knees, and installs himself there […]

Day off


Nothing like waking up on a sunny, warm, schedule-free day… and spending some time stretching your imagination… and honing your writing skills, before wandering into the kitchen for a little breakfast. Nice not to have to be anywhere today. I listened to a few podcasts & cleaned the kitchen while wearing a favorite skirt. Did […]

Still alive. Been organizing my work in preparation for upcoming craft shows, and impromptu “hey, can you bring over some necklaces so I can pick out a birthday present for my sister?” requests.

Been thinking about Vermont. Or maybe Massachussetts. Pennsylvania? Upstate New York? I’ve been reading everyone’s posts about fall, and now I want nothing more than to pack up my family and drag them leaf-peeping somewhere slightly cooler, and a bit more colorful than here. Oh, New Jersey will have its turn for vibrant leaves and […]

Fall officially arrives at 11:48 Monday morning. I was resisting the end of summer, but now that I’ve had a few weeks to get used to the idea, I’m really looking forward to the next season. It has always been my favorite, after all. Autumn is honeycrisp apples, pumpkin bread, and grabbing a sweater on […]

I solved a problem I’ve been having, and I wanted to share. If you’re only here for the sewing, the polymer clay, or the occasional glimpse of boring office guy, you’ll have to come back tomorrow. Today we’re talking Geek Talk 😉 The problem I use Gmail and Calendar through Google Apps for my lisaclarke.net […]

Thanks for all of your great suggestions for greening my kitchen. I knew you’d know what to tell me 🙂 So, it’s a new week, and that means it’s time to look back on the old one, via the wonders of Flickr (where my photos are kept) and Big Huge Labs (where I make my […]
