Eureka! Anyone else have a love/hate relationship with technology? On upbeat days I am awed by all the gifts technology has given me. For example, this blog. Never could I have imagined, decades back, I could write a post, send it into the cloud and have you read it, whether you live in my home… Continue reading Week in Review 2021- 10/15

Life at Warp Speed Do you ever feel you are constantly living your life at warp speed? I certainly do. When I take a moment to breath deeply, forcing myself to slow down, I know the feeling of warp speed is a feeling, not a reality. Still, I am grateful, I get to choose how… Continue reading Week in Review 2021 – 10/08

Join in… …the fun. Today is the opening day of SAQA’s annual Benefit Auction. Each of the 460 12″ x 12″ art quilt is made by a SAQA member. This is an online, anyone can participate, auction.

Work Flow What is your work flow? How do you handle the myriad of tasks required to regularly update and post on numerous social media platforms?

New Start What is your creative process? Can you even describe your creative process? In my case it is so innate I find it difficult to put into words. I do feel as if I have a muse that sits on my shoulder and whispers, “Just give it a try. It might work.” Prior to… Continue reading Week in Review 2021 – 08/13

Lifetime Learner Each Friday morning I sift through my brain for what topic to focus on in this week’s post. Although I have spoken about things I am studying, practicing or exploring, it occurred to me that I have never used lifetime learning as a post focus.

Process My posts, for the most part, focus on process. Why? Perhaps it is because, since I was a child I have been fascinated by how things transform. I was mesmerized by a babysitter who would entertain me by knitting doll blankets. Imagine a length of yarn magically becoming a beautiful blanket I could wrap… Continue reading Week in Review 2021 – 07/16

Life of an Artist Can I be both organized and an artist? Yes and no. I work hard at compartmentalizing my life. Life works hard at breaking through my compartmentalization. To be fair, there are so many opportunities, I just want to take advantage of them all. This is precisely why I find myself hopscotching… Continue reading Week in Review 2021 – 06/25
