I have a passion for buttons:
Not only fancy, schmancy, top of the line, tons ‘o money buttons, but also, plain and simple, humble and ho hum buttons.
Buttons, to me, are full of stories.
I have one of the buttons from the corduroy suit my mother wore the day she walked me to my first day […]
Today, my copy of “Vogue Knitting on the go Knitting for Pets” arrived. :)
We are ‘pet people’.
Every morning, we do yoga, assisted by our canine companions:
So, when the new book came through the door, of course, the dogs were happy for their Mum.
‘Hey! I remember that […]
I still am contemplating and meditating, dreaming and praying about and for deep peace.
The thing that I keep coming back to is the necessity for each of us to be peacemakers, each in our own unique way.
How do we do that? Well, finding ways of creating justice, doing kind things in small and large ways……… […]
Oh my!
My brother has asked me a favour….
years ago, I sewed my Dad a stuffed Penguin for Christmas. When Dad died, I brought the penguin home and sent him to my brother’s kidlets.
Well, The Penguin Is A Problem.
Ahem.
At bedtime, there is conflict about
~who gets to sleep with the penguin~
My brother sent me an IM, […]

Isn’t it odd, how sometimes someone will say something that feels rather prickly, and you go ‘myeh’, shake it off and buzz right along.
BUT, other times, a chance remark will send you straight to the middle of the thornbush, without your clippers?
To them, it is just a chance remark, and they don’t ever think about […]
Oooh! I am tickled pink!
My copy of Crochet Today! has popped out of my mailbox, and I think it is wonderful.
‘Course, I am also delighted that one of my designs is in it….
I LOVE this magazine, and I think that it is a total winner.
Sometimes, it is just delicious to be a crocheter.

Even though I haven’t been posting much about Peace Dolls lately, I am still working on them!
For weeks now, I have been folding and re-folding pieces of paper, trying to find my way to a new Origami Peace Angel.
(designing Origami and other folded and rolled paper dolls is one of my passions)
This morning, I […]
Last weekend, we were thrilled when the Night Blooming Cereus plant in my studio opened and bloomed. It was unbelievable!
It felt like birthing energy, and like being in the presence of the Divine!
Night blooming Cereus plants are odd looking plants that have really neat ‘architecture’, and an amazing blossom. The blossoms are HUGE, lavish, spectacular, […]
For the love of knitting, crochet, spoolknitting, spinning and weaving!
