Have you seen this ProBlogger’s post? In it, he calls for bloggers to create a list of blogs they’re going to be watching/reading closely this year, in the hopes of generating lists of blogs in all kinds of niches/industries. That got me to thinking about what list I would put together. I quickly realized that I read…

Blogging my passion
As this year comes to a close, folks start writing posts about the year in review, and start making resolutions for the new year. I am one of those folks who hate resolutions…for me, they would always involve weight loss, and end in failure. So, I did away with resolutions many years ago, they were…
Keeping Perspective, One Day at a Time
I just discovered an artist (vis Twitter of course) named Robyn who wrote a wonderful/poignant post about how much we try to get done this time of year. I am right there. SO much to do, so little time. So, I’m working through my list, prioritizing and letting go, one day at a time!
Breathing
It’s official – I’m a Southern Californian. We moved here 5 and a half years ago, and the first couple of winters I was baffled by how befuddled the folks here get with a day or two of rain. The HEAT – now that is befuddling, but rain? Surely these people were insane! Well, here…
Guest Post on Hue
Hello again! I’m a guest poster over on Hue, the color-centric design blog of Rachel Perls. She’s on vacation in Tuscany, lucky gal, while all I’ve got is this shirt: Actually, my post is all about trying to match hues on silk, rayon and cotton…go take a look!

I’m hoping to get a lot of inspiration for new color combinations, both for my scarves as well as my quilts. Here’s the 1st palette from Yellowstone, created from a picture…

Inspiration: Daisy Janie
She had me at “Bloom”. Daisy Janie is Jan DiCintio, surface designer and blogger extraordinaire. I came across her work 1st when (I think) I was Flickring (is that a word? If not, it SHOULD be!) through handmade bag pictures. A few years ago she was making awesome bags, and started designing fabric for those…
Going Home to Roost!
My Luck continues! A post Jan over at Scoutie Girl wrote yesterday alerted me to a fabulous new blog: Going Home to Roost. It’s a blog about (quoting Bonnie, the owner of this particular home): “going home to roost is dedicated to a simpler way of life and focuses on handmade style and design. it…
