Where to begin when you don’t know what to say? I’m reminded of Pema Chodron’s words/book, “Start Where You Are”. And so I will. It’s been 10 days now since our family suffered the unexpected loss of our dear sister/mother/daughter, ShaRae – and it still just doesn’t seem real. We miss her terribly. We are […] Over the past couple of weeks, the last hurrahs of summer and the start of the fall semester have brought visits from friends and some new energy in the studio.

The image below is on my Flickr photo stream and a wonderful fan just added it to her favorites list this morning, which “ping-ed” me and led me to look at this again.

I’m really loving the look and feel of the hand stitching as well as the meditative (problem solving) time I get while doing the stitching. LineScape #14, 42" x 36", (cotton fabrics […] |
