One Moment | Liam’s All Southern Concert

All Southern Concert 03

Now that Liam is in 9th grade, he’s auditioning for the High School honor bands/orchestras on trombone. Happily, he made it into all 3 (All County, All Southern and All State). The first of these concerts was last Sunday (after 3 days of rehearsals, oh so luckily hosted by the University of Redlands). I wasn’t…

Meetup | January Goals

9 Earth-Tints-Finished--07

Well my goodness, does time fly when you’re a busy busy bee! I can’t believe that January has come and gone! Add to this the fact that school started back up and I’ve got an extra class to teach, I am frankly a little amazed at what did get accomplished: January Goals Launch “Dyeing 101:…

A Steno Pad Notetaker for a Tulip Lovin’ Gal

Steno pad notetaker (2)

Although I’ve been working hard on my online class, I had to take some time to make this notetaker: My stepsister Pam loves steno pads, she uses them all the time at work, and years ago she asked me to make one of my notetakers (using Kathy Mack’s awesome pattern) sized for a steno pad….

One Moment | Internet Connectedness

I had a lovely lunch on Friday. A colleague of mine at the University of Redlands who teaches in the Econ department emailed me a couple of weeks ago, asking if I would be able to have lunch with he and his Mom who was going to be visiting from Vermont, because she was a…

It is with great joy that I announce the launch of Dyeing 101: Controlling Color, my very first e-course! I have spent the last few years connecting with people online, all while growing my little business, honing my craft, and making art. It now seems an obvious extension, to combine all these loves and develop…

Sneak Peeks at my New Episodes of Quilting Arts TV

I just happened to be on my YouTube subscriptions panel this morning (instead of grading, I’d followed a link from a funny video Twitter sent me to “Sh*t Nobody Says“, thanks Jan for that laugh!) and lo and behold, introductions to season 9 of Quilting Arts TV! In this one you can see me stitching…

Lesley_Downie_web

I haven’t done one of my “Makers Must” interviews in quite awhile! I’ll break the drought with the awesome Lesley Downie. A talented writer from my hometown, she was one of my very first web design clients, and along with my talented team, we recently did a fun re-vamp of her site. Although I’m a…

One Moment | Time

January-Oranges-15

I have grown to love blogging, it’s a habit for me now. I set the goal to blog every weekday a couple of years ago, and I’ve pretty much managed to do that. When I DON’T, I feel this nagging sensation in the back of my head. But I have come to realize that I…
