Back at the sewing machine

I’ve spent the past few days doing some sewing. It’s so nice to just play with fabric, fiber, and to hear the soothing sound of my sewing machine! I’ve been working, particularly, on a project for a friend. I made her a tote bag (right). I created the base with free motion stitching and then [...]

Post Treatment Update, Cabinet Cards for Sale

It’s Monday. After a long weekend of fatigue and nausea, I was able to sit in the studio for a while today. I cleared off my desk and even did some sewing today. I finished up two small journals for Beads-n-More/SunSpirit Studio in Bisbee. Another of my journals sold there this weekend and they’re having [...]

Lovely Weekend

It’s been a LOVELY weekend! Dave and I saw his parents on Saturday. They are preparing for their first trip to Hawaii. They’re going to fly there and then take a cruise around the islands. They’re so excited and they’re also going with friends. It should be fun for them. We love Hawaii, so we [...]

Creative Monday

It was so good to get back into the studio yesterday. A certain calm comes over me when I walk into the studio – even if it’s a mess! It’s really a haven for me. Yesterday, after I wrote about my preparations for today’s Watercolor Pencil Magic class, I pulled out the sewing machine and [...]

One World One Heart

I’m happy to report that I’m feeling much better! Thanks to all of you for your emails. The medication seems to have worked. I’m still rather tired, but I feel better and I’m ready to sort of re-enter the world. To celebrate, I’m going to participate in the big One World One Heart event. What [...]

Creative This Week

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have been painting and trying new things. To the left is the current state of the painting. It’s not done yet. It still needs some work and final touches, but I figured I’d show what I’ve been doing. It’s a creative process and it requires a lot [...]

Coming out of the fog

Thanks to all of you for your kind wishes about health. The treatments are every 4 weeks and I’m thankful that they continue to keep my vertigo at bay and to keep the hearing in my “good ear” at a very high functioning level most of the month. It’s worth it to be “grounded” in [...]

‘Tis the season, right? Well, I had my treatment on Monday. I was pretty sick during it and the IV had to be reinserted twice, so it was not my favorite day. And, though it took longer for me to get through it, I had the pleasure of Angie’s company for a couple of hours. [...]

New Toys

Yesterday I felt all cooped up in the house. Angie had told me the day before that there was a Jo-Ann’s Fabrics going out of business near her. Since I started making the totes, I needed some larger cuts of fabric and I’ve been going through thread like water! So, I headed over there to [...]

Gifts: Finished Totes

I mentioned in my last post that I was working on some arty totes for the nurses at my husband’s practice who take care of me during my monthly treatments. After seeing them in process, my husband asked if I’d make one for the free clinic nurse manager. (Click on them to see larger images!) [...]
