oh I can’t wait!  I rarely talk about my work here… I’m a nurse and with rules regarding patient confidentiality, writing about my experiences can be tricky. I usually opt not to take my chances and keep quiet about my experiences… but not today. For one last time I’ll share with you some tidbits with the hope that these... by robin 12 comments

What a deep lady you are. I am a nurse too, and I made the decision to stay home with my children as well. For now this is my season of life to be a mother. There will always be people who need nursing and when you are ready to go back they will be there. I think you are so very very brilliant. Your quilting, dyeing and your writing are all so very stunning.

Robin I have to say a great big thank you for sharing these three stories. You touched my heart and soul with your words. Life is so short and goes by so quick, you have to grab all you can get each and every moment and not let go.

Not to mention, but take time for yourself, which refreshes and allows you to be and do more for others.

You are quite impressive! First your art is beautiful and so inspiring and now to learn you were a nurse on top of an artist and a mother it truly makes me feel like the worlds biggest underacheiver! I have unfortunately spent a fair amount of time in ERs and ICUs in the past few years and each time I have been in awe of the nurses skill in dealing with such sad and tramatic situations but maintaining that personal/human connection with their patients and their family. I wish you the best!

Wow, that last paragraph is words to LIVE by. You’ve mentioned before that you struggle with balancing family, work, and your art. I am sure you have made the right decision and wish you all the best as you continue to move forward.

A very tough decision indeed, but thecrewards of creativity and hanging out with the kids…I couldn’t imagine anything greater than that!!!

It will be very exciting to get to observe your creative directions. And it is oh so true that children grow up way too fast and fly the nest before you know it. Knowing your children as adults though, is one of life’s great gifts. Enjoy the journey.

Thank you for sharing! Cherish those children and love loudly! Best wishes as you venture off into new venues. You deserve it!

Good for you! I wish you lots of creative moments in the near future.  I’m thrilled that Alex contacted me! She is the owner of Yogagurl, a company which she started out of a desire to inspire herself and others, and now supports a line of yoga wear as well as other things to help women become empowered. She’s the one I met the other day at my garage... by robin 3 comments

Someone is going to be blessed by winning a beautiful quilt! Intrigued with and looking forward to seeing “Who Does She Think She Is?”

That’s a good sized quilt! I love these kinds of quilts. Too bad you can’t raffle it because you really do get more money that way as well as everyone having a chance at owning it. We have pretty strict rules here in Michigan too.  The other day I took Adam up the mountain to fly his glider. It was amazingly beautiful to watch… so graceful and smooth. He has been working hard on a power-point presentation and will speak about his plane in front of an audience tomorrow. If only they can see it in action… for now, thankfully... by robin no comments  Despite the rain outside being absolutely dreadful for dyeing fabric, I still find it in my heart to be grateful. With this rain will come beautiful spring days, I just know it! Outside in my yard today, I have many photo-ops to choose from! by robin 1 comment
