My holiday lights are still on. I’m not alone, several of my neighbors have theirs on too! One of the fun things that the city does here is hot mop several of the frozen lakes so that people can ice skate or play hockey. Also the schools have basketball courts that double as hockey rinks […]

Mountain Calls to Him
I know nothing about snowboarding, but when I see people around the ski resort who have been snowboarding they seem happy. For this piece, I was drawn to the green woven fabric for the jacket and then found some matching pants. The mountain calls to him (5.5†x 6.5â€)

Skiing is Her Happy
The snow can be blinding when the sun is shining – so you need to wear shades! But you should definitely enjoy the air rushing past you as you head down the mountain. It’s ski season here so I’m trying to get more in the spirit – at least with my art. Pretty sure, I’d […]

LED Magnets
Sometimes I just have to create something. That was the case with these LED light bulb magnets. Aren’t they cute? I was presenting a proposal to all LED light bulbs in my local non-profit co-op gallery (GCVA). As a way to make the presentation memorable and fun, I thought these would be fun gifts. I […]

Dances on Ice
I keep my colorful twinkle lights on well past the holiday season; so do many others in my neighborhood. It’s nice to see something cheerful in the dark. Now if only I could gracefully glide over the mushy, icy mess that is our sidewalks and parking lots like this girl does. She dances on ice […]

Sound of Her Sewing Machine
If you were to swap this dog for an orange kitty, this would be me the last few days. I’ve been like a mad scientist creating multiple concoctions. It’s nice to dive in and get lost in my world of fabric and thread (and a bit of fusible webbing). This quilt was started with my […]

Winter Days
My husband tries to get out on his bike at least once a week. He rushed to do so yesterday, before the weather warmed and rain fell on top of the foot of snow we got last week. Winter days are his favorite (6.5†x 14â€) Here’s a picture of my husband’s bike near a […]
Ready for Fun
It’s been far too long since I posted. I only meant to take a break during the holidays, but life happened or rather my body revolted against a new medication. Thankfully the doctors have me on the mend and I’m starting to feel more like myself. I’m finally ready for the fun of 2017. She […]
