We painted her room. Purple please she said. She picked out new bedding. We rearranged the furniture. She spent hours setting up her new room. Close your eyes mom she said as she led me into her room. Lovely I said! Beautifully arranged! But... where are all the stuffed animals? Not a single one. Anywhere. … Continue reading What Happened?

To Timaree et al
An online artist friend, who has visited my blog for many years and has been a huge encourager, asked a question in one of her recent comments on this beach post. I thought I'd take a bit of time to answer her questions, which may be of interest to others as well. Here is what … Continue reading To Timaree et al
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…
Oak Island 2013
I just got back from a lovely week at the beach with my husband's family! We always have a marvelous time of sun, sand, good food, and fellowship! Do you remember the video I made from last year's drawings? I recently realized that it has been removed from YouTube...I have no idea why!! Both of … Continue reading Oak Island 2013
Toeses Are Roses?
As I drew my feet in these sketches made within a few days of each other, I realized that feet really aren't the most attractive part of the human body. At least mine aren't! It reminded me of lines from a song in the movie Singing In the Rain: "Moses supposes his toeses are Roses, But … Continue reading Toeses Are Roses?

If Knitting Had Feelings…
I do wonder about this sometimes. I fall in love with a simple ball of yarn. And the dreaming begins. I'm sure it loves this...me dreaming about all the possibilities it might become. Then I choose, and off we go...clicking away happily with nary a thought but the yarn and stitches in front of me. … Continue reading If Knitting Had Feelings…
Growing Up
I drew the above drawing in pre-hospital days from a photograph of Maddie enjoying a break on the rocks at Hidden Falls, Hanging Rock State Park. I can't believe that in just a week, she will "graduate" from 5th grade. I'm not sure I'm ready for my youngest child to be going off to Middle … Continue reading Growing Up
