Where Real Women Create
I have, for a few years now, enjoyed getting my hands on a magazine called, Where Women Create. It is a beautifully photographed magazine showcasing the studios and crafting rooms of women from all over the United States, possibly in other countries as well. It is wonderful to read about how these artists/crafters got to be … Continue reading Where Real Women Create
A Story to Tell
A few days ago, I was out walking in the morning. Mr. Whicker has bought the land on the back side of our neighborhood and has cleared out the brush, put up a wire fence, to make a lovely pasture (one of several he has on his land) for his cows. I've been visiting this … Continue reading A Story to Tell
Out and About
I've been out drawing various places on Friday mornings and relishing every minute! My friend Debbie and I parked our drawing chairs in the Gardens, finding all kinds of autumn beauty to draw and paint.

It's a shift in focus, even if it is somewhat dimmed at times, a new path or direction, a revisiting of … Continue reading A Vision
*Life
My life is barreling in directions I'm unsure whether I really want to go. Our son is beginning his senior year of high school. Our oldest goes back for her junior year in college. Our youngest begins 7th grade. Am I ready for this? I feel inside a fragility about it all. An uncertainty as … Continue reading *Life
I Will Create!
This is an oldy I wrote years ago, but I've been running the words in my head of late. We can so easily be consumed by the sadness in this world: mass killings of humanity, hunger abroad and in our own towns, financial woe, health issues, family matters, work difficulties, etc. I choose to stand … Continue reading I Will Create!
