an artistic journey

More sewing, friends, and more!

Well, I am in love. My new Pfaff is JUST AMAZING! I even went out and bought a case at JoAnn’s at half-price, because I know I can’t take Katie Kendrick’s class at Art Unraveled in two weeks without the NICE machine. I can’t believe I planned to go with the other machine. I don’t [...]

Coming out of the fog

Well, dear readers, you have not heard hide nor hair of me for a week now. Why? Well, on Monday I ran several errands. And the problems started when I was getting ready to leave my favorite fabric spot, SAS Fabrics by the Pound for some trims and buttons, I started to have some issues [...]

Yesterday was a good day

Some works in progress

On some of the blogs I frequent, Wednesday is Works in Progress Wednesday, or WIP Wednesday. So, I’m going to post some of my WIPs today!

  • What's This Blog All About, Anyway?

    I'm Fran Saperstein. I'm an artist and writer sharing my life with my wonderful husband, David. In this blog I will share some of the art I'm doing, tell you about how I live my life with chronic illness, and still maintain a positive life here in my Phoenix, AZ home studio. I'll share what I'm experimenting with, what I'm writing and even (beware!) what I'm thinking. I am always looking to try new things and to experiment. I'll share some of my experiments here. Email me.
