Shadow inspects the bed making

I visited my sewing machine today. It’s been a bit lonely lately, I’m sure. There it sits on that lovely custom sewing table day after day, and it can’t even enjoy the view from the window because it’s turned toward the opposite wall. I’ve been doing some quilt related things recently as I hinted here, [...]

An Interesting Place

May 13, 2011

18 Comments

By way of a little “touching base/checking in” type post, I find myself in an interesting place at the moment, both literally and figuratively: Augusta is an interesting place.

I’ve been trying to get back into the swing of things here, with very little success. Ever since I got off the plane on Tuesday morning, I’ve been trying to “get it together” and “get back to normal” and I can’t figure out why I’m not getting there. I just don’t feel like doing anything. [...]

August 18, 2009

I’ve come to the conclusion that spiders may not be the dumb creatures of evil and malicious intent that I’ve always thought them to be; maybe they’re just creatures of habit and instinct. Now I say “may not be” because I’m really not quite ready to consign them to the ranks of the innocent just [...]
