I'm feeling quite overwhelmed these days. The only way I can wrap my head around it is that we're experiencing a harvest time in our family. With the goodness of a harvest, comes a lot of activity. It's all good. But wow. It's a lot. I've been moved and delighted by the response to Genevieve … Continue reading A Garden of Gratitude

The Making of Genevieve and the Kite
I wish I could tell you that making a children's book is easy. Nope. I can't say that. Genevieve and the Kite took over three years. I didn't immediately think of a children's book as I overheard the conversation between Maddie and her Aunt Cathy on the porch of our beach house three years ago. … Continue reading The Making of Genevieve and the Kite

A Kite Flyin’ Update
Just popping in to say hello and let you know I haven't flown off into the stratosphere with my kite. In fact, it's gotten a bit tangled in a tree and I have a couple of friends helping me untangle it. I realize I'm speaking in code here, and you probably haven't a clue what … Continue reading A Kite Flyin’ Update

Before Genevieve…
...there was Genevieve! That's confusing I know. But before I was drawing Genevieve, the name of my dress form was/is Genevieve. And so, I dress Genevieve, as if she was a big doll, with the latest knit or crochet creation. She makes a great model, don't you think? Here are a couple of other drawings … Continue reading Before Genevieve…

There are so many fabulous baby bootie patterns available, that I get dizzy just trying to decide which one to make! When we have friends who are getting ready to have a little one, I love knitting or crocheting a pair of booties as a gift. Hmmm...should I crochet a pair of these as I've … Continue reading Bootie Love!
Shout from the Rooftops!
As different medications were given to me to try and put the Ulcerative Colitis into remission, I did experience some improvement. And when I did, I wanted to shout it to the world! When you've been so miserable, ANY appearance of possible improvement is so exciting!! But it was very short lived. Only a day … Continue reading Shout from the Rooftops!

Add to that the drawcumenting of her days, the cooking for family, the shuttling children here and there, the everyday goings on of small town living...and she's waving her white flag! "Uncle!" Lucy, … Continue reading Buried!
Genevieve on Gray
Yet another gray day here in Carolina. It's unseasonably warm for January, and it's raining. Genevieve is out walking (she loves walking in the rain:), searching the gray landscape for touches of color. There's rumor that daffodils are popping out in some areas, and even in Boone, in the mountains where Genevieve is from, tulips … Continue reading Genevieve on Gray
