Unity – NOT! Typically, I am all about unity. I like to focus in on a project and complete it before starting the next. I don’t like flitting from one project to the next. However, this week feels disjointed. It is as though I am a hummingbird darting from one flower garden to another, barely… Continue reading Week in Review 2020 – 01/24

Tops Done Now What? I’m not sure when I first started free motion quilting my tops. I do know my early forays were done with great trepidation. I just knew I was convinced I was going to ruin my quilt with my inept quilting. Did it stop me? No, yes, and sometimes. If my work… Continue reading Week in Review 2020 – 01/17

Years back I would to commit to New Year’s resolutions, only to break them within days or even hours of making them. It left me feeling weak. My solution: don’t make resolutions. If you don’t make them, you can’t break them. Got to love logic like that. Looking Back I’m not sure precisely when it… Continue reading Week in Review 2020 – 01/03

I’m a tortoise. I’ve always been a tortoise. I expect I will always be a tortoise. Yet, I struggle with this basic fact even as I accept its accuracy. Normally, I don’t obsess about being a tortoise. However, a recent interaction over Christmas, has me revisiting the topic. Paradigm Shift or Not? Christmas dinner was… Continue reading Week in Review 2019 – 12/27

Color gets all the credit, but value does all the work. It is unclear who was the first to say this. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn these wise words have been shared for centuries. Nevertheless, I have been challenging them for years, proving and re-proving them to myself. The first time I really put… Continue reading Week in Review 2019 – 12/13

My optometrist(s) have been watching my cataracts for more than a decade. I’ve been watching how my vision is impacted because of them. It fascinates me. At first the only sign I had a cataract was the very occasional floater, kidney bean in shape, that would cross the path of my vision like a speck… Continue reading Week in Review 2019 – 12/06
