We spent this afternoon at our neighborhood’s annual block party. It was a nice time, but it was hot & sticky. We wimped out and left a little early so we could come home, eat a junk finger food supper, watch an episode of Due South and play Rummikub. Dancin Jules tagged me the other […]

Step away from the camera
So, is my big, bespectacled face what you were hoping to see first thing in the morning as you sipped your tea and checked your feed reader? Heh. I suspect not. I’m just doing what any girl would do at 11:30 at night when the rest of the house is asleep – putting on lipstick […]

What?? No aqua? Was my flirtation with bluish-greeny goodness only a Summer Fling? This week I favorited about half as many photos as usual – guess I was busy with other things. Nature, clay jewelry, and personal style seem to dominate this batch. I love the top corner shot – it’s Anna Maria Horner’s playroom. […]

I couldn’t wait… I got the color challenge for September started. I chose OLIVE as the color, by which I really mean any green that tends more to the yellow than it does to the blue. Think about the leaves in September just before they begin to turn color… From dyed clothing… …to loom-knitted accessories… […]

I wish I had something creative to share, like images of the beads from Dan Cormier’s class (back in JUNE!) that I’ve been planning to sand, but haven’t. Or the half-finished necklaces that I made to go with Alexander Henry’s Birdseed fabric, which can’t be completed until my jump rings get here from Fire Mountain […]

I had to go out-of-order with the alphabet so that I could do Neil on his birthday. (You may interpret that last sentence however you wish, but keep in mind this is a Family Show ) Yes, in the Encyclopedia of Me, N is for Neil, my husband of 12 years, the father of my […]

Yes, I know O does not come before N, but I decided that O and N needed to be switched, for reasons that will be come apparent eventually. Or maybe not. Doesn’t matter – it’s my blog and if I want to re-arrange the alphabet, then so be it Shall we get on with it? […]

As in, I’m trying to be more aware of the special Moments that make up my day. Despite the intentions I declared in June, I have spent much of the Summer hunched over. Hunched over my computer, working, reading email, reading blogs, playing on flickr, posting my own blog. Hunched over my sewing machine, learning […]

In the Encyclopedia of Me, E is for Epiphanies. “Epiphany” is the term Neil uses to describe the moment when I realize something that is common knowledge to the rest of the world. The most famous epiphany that I had – the one that started it all – occurred oh, eight or nine years ago […]
