Remembering Days of Our Youth





Warm radiant mornings...

Blissful play in the garden...

Delight of Spring...

The Desolate Cabin


Lonely and abandoned, forsaken,
A woeful ruin of the past;
Isolated from the rest, in disrepair and deserted,
Solitary in its quiet desolation.

As summer flowers bloom
And the warm winds blow,
Through the trees and the meadows,
Memories of friends arrive once more;
Longing for the beautiful sound of laughter.

Never judge a book when your tired!

At the beginning of the year I decided to make a sampler quilt. For this quilt I wanted to make a block every month. In April, while tired, I started on the fourth block late at night. This was a very bad idea. I became frustrated and I decided to set it aside for another day. Over the days and weeks to follow, I began to think the block was too hard to try again. I let one block stop my progress.


Today I decided to tackle the block again. As I worked with the block, I realized it was not as hard as I thought it would be. My frustration  all those months ago was from fatigue, and not a BAD block.


 So - never judge a book when your tired - or in this case a quilt block.

Let the adventure begin

Greetings Fellow Fiber Enthusiasts

Welcome to my world of art!

I hope to be able to bring you a taste of my creativity.  Whether through pictures (photos and sketches), fibers (weaving, crochet, knitting, tatting, quilting and spinning) or through the written word (poetry and stories), I will do my best to share with you all the things I love and call art.

A bunny or two may even hop into my posts.
