Yipeeeee! What a wonderful Spring Sunday yesterday, my other half and I spent the day working in the studio (me, getting ready for the Spring shows), wiring up the house for our new broadband and reaching out an upstairs window to try to shift the sheet of snow and ice on the studio roof before…
What do you get when you invite a friend to your house who is building a home? Brownies tied up with some of the cord they used to haul something up to a second floor. I did ask if they needed it back…. did what they have left still reach the ground? They assured me…
Just a quickie. I went from a beautiful sunrise just as I boarded the Dash 8 in Palm Springs, I got to watch the sun come up from behind the mountains…. to deicing in Washington. The bright light from above is the man with the ice scraper!
Out for breakfast after a week of ‘cleansing’ (you know… no chocolate, booze, coffee, preservatives etc and for two days, no solids) we went to our fave place in downtown Kingston: Morrison’s.

This is me (dark… with specs) and my neighbour at the recent One of a Kind Chicago show. Jennifer is a potter and has wonderful designs that would also look good knit up somehow! Waterside Studio is her work’s monika, and he Mum helps her out in her lovely booth. I need a desk too…
Well, the show was great success and I had a lot of fun. Sometimes the most fun was sitting on the floor playing ‘Skip-Bo’ with my friends’ two boys! I’t’s so fun to play kids card games!! Anyway, we had a few stops in East Lansing one of which was ‘Elderly’ Instruments which seems to…
