A Long Look Back Starts with Gratitude
Of course, I’ve not been posting. Exhaustion, family issues, cats sick, and The Big Move. And a bit depressed about the state of our country… We have now had a day or two to sleep deeply, and sleep has buoyed … Continue reading

Inktober 17, Slowstitch
I am thrilled with the movement of slowstitch — A movement which celebrates hand-stitching and mending. I’ve never liked sewing machines and love hand-stitching… why I do this for others in our business! I always wondered about the difference between … Continue reading

Inktober, 7 End of Day
Raining, and that is the good news. Rain cheers us. There is no good news in the USA today. They are confirming Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Oh yeah, I left of the ‘H’ in my journal… oh well. Done … Continue reading

Inktober, 6 Hari-Kitty in Terror Mode
He’s settling in nicely, but gets into terror modes, or tiger modes, where he rips through toys, cats, boxes, and gets into so much trouble… Maybe he is Trouble. Or Terror. We’ve named him then it is not quite sticking. … Continue reading

Inktober, 4-5 Ginger Coffee

Inktober, 3 Kavanaugh
The hearings upset me. The betrayal of Senators to do the righteous thing, to allow a full investigation, upset me. To know that it is likely that this unhinged man, alcoholic, probably a serial sexual abuser will sit on the … Continue reading
