Layering Layering season is here, at least where we live just outside of Boston. Today is the first morning that I awoke to freezing temperatures. We keep our home cool in order to do our small bit against global warming. I cope by doning a minimum of four layers and sometimes as many as six.… Continue reading Week in Review 2025 – 11/07

Week in Review 2025 – 10/31
Show Time It’s show time. Tomorrow is the first day of Cohasset Open Studios. I feel as though I am immersed in a noir mystery. In this case it would begin with “It’s a dark and stormy morning.” Fortunately, the predication for tomorrow is sunny. Hopefully, this will be an incentive for people to take… Continue reading Week in Review 2025 – 10/31

Count Down The count downs on numerous art, holidays and adventures are approaching lower and lower numbers. I’m trying not to panic. It can be hard to dig down deep and focus on one item and one step at a time. I have to remind myself I’ve been here before. Also, whether I do all… Continue reading Week in Review 2025 – 10/24

Clean The phrase, “clean up in aisle 3” keeps running through my head. Why? I’m in cleaning mode. If you were to ask my son our home is always guest ready. Cleaning is not my forte, or more precisely I prefer to do just about anything else. This is in direct conflict with my need… Continue reading Week in Review 2025 – 10/17

Sharing Sharing does and doesn’t come naturally to me. Writing a weekly blog post, for example, is one way I share. This past Sunday, I went to, much to my son’s amusement, an afternoon event billed by Jocelyn, a fellow artisan, as a Goddess Gathering. She brought together women from all parts of her life,… Continue reading Week in Review 2025 – 10/10

Rollercoaster Life is a rollercoaster. At least that is how it feels to me at the moment. Last weekend’s open studio was a success with more people coming than in the past and even some sales of several of my small works. Thank you to all who nudged me forward to complete my 2024 Rainbow… Continue reading Week in Review 2024 – 11/08

Close I am close to finishing my 2024 Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilt for 2024. I am so close to finishing prior to my open studio this weekend that I am laser focused. It is the kind of focus that allows me to weigh what must get done versus what I would like to accomplish and… Continue reading Week in Review 2024 – 11/01

Irony and Focus Oh, the irony! I was going to title this post Focus. However, much as I am proud of my ability to focus, today that super power seems to have fizzled. Everything, including sitting down to type out this post is taking longer and I feel myself falling behind. The irony can’t be… Continue reading Week in Review 2024 – 10/25

Assess The rule of real estate is location, location, location, while the rule of art is assess, assess, assess. At least that is one of my guiding principles for life and art. One thing I have been assessing recently is my small works. I started making them when I joined Cohasset Open Studios in 2020.… Continue reading Week in Review 2024 – 03/29

Full Speed Ahead It’s full speed ahead for me and the Senior Executive Director of Studio Operations (aka my husband) as we prepare for this weekend’s open studio. Anyone visiting will be greeted by art as they walk in the front door. Everyone Runs to the View We are fortunate to live in a home… Continue reading Week in Review 2022 – 11/04
