Eamonn and I were baking bread last week when he said, out of the blue, “how come you don’t knit anymore?” The honest answer? I was in the middle of a Spring scarf sometime in April, when I got to the end of the skein, and I was too lazy to go upstairs for the […]

I promised a few days ago that I’d make somethingorother and show it to you. I do feel like this blog is more interesting when I’m filling it with crafty things, but sometimes life gets in the way, or I’m just not having a lot of luck making things that I actually like… I’ve been […]

Look what showed up on my doorstep last night, fellow clayheads. Ancient Modern by Ronna Sarvas Weltman. I’ve been looking forward to this book, by virtue of the piece on the cover alone. I’m happy to say that the fresh aesthetic of the cover image is carried through the entire volume. Now, I should stop […]

Every year in May I go a little bit book crazy. I think, maybe, after several years of receiving birthday cards with Barnes & Noble gift cards tucked inside, I’ve become conditioned to mine my wish list for some creative reading, as my special day approaches. I spend much of May mentally spending any birthday […]

Turquoise sky, periwinkle ocean, golden sand… it seems I brought a little bit of the Jersey shore home with me last week, and finally let it escape through my fingers. This is how I spent my Saturday: breakfasting, mixing clay colors, layering the colors in just the right order, arranging the textures to mimic the […]

So, I turned 38 today. I decided to give myself a gift, and as such, I spent the better part of last night and this morning making myself a pendant necklace. The tile features an organic design with bits of metal leaf, touches of sparkle, and hints of translucency throughout. I sanded it and polished […]
Read More: Birthday baublesThe Skinner Blend, for those of you not familiar with polymer clay techniques, is a popular method for color-mixing, that results in a sheet of clay that has a perfectly smooth gradation from one color to another. I use Skinner Blends extensively in my cane-making, although by the time I’m done manipulating them, what you […]

I may have hinted just a teeny tiny bit that I’d like to get a copy of Betz White‘s new book, Sewing Green. With Mother’s Day and my birthday both being this month, it may have come up in conversation once or twice. I might have flipped through the book at Barnes & Noble last […]

For instance, you could be standing on your dining room’s built-in cabinet for a Bench Monday picture, just after you put the chicken in the oven and just before the handyman comes to give you an estimate on painting […]

I didn’t sleep very well last night, maybe fifteen minute stretches here and there. I was too twitchy to sleep, constantly aware that at any moment the phone beside the bed could ring and startle me awake, my heart beating frantically out of my chest. The phone does that to me. It was an unusual […]
