With my return to work, I’ve had to exist in another side of my brain for a while.  In the hospital I’m valued for my ability to think and act quickly, to remember a host of illnesses and treatments, to calculate dosages and to document well.  Organization and efficiency are my allies as I hop...

Inspiring work and words. Much needed today.

It never fails to amaze me how much work cuts into my creative day. I was just saying that I love my job and love what I do I just wish I didn’t have to do it. I’m fine when I get there. I just don’t want to go.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Thanksgiving weekend has for many years now been my favorite time of year.  When else are we as a people focused on gathering and giving thanks?  Somehow tho, between the food, celebrations, work in the ER and early Christmas shopping I’ve lost my center ever so slightly.  Chaos creeps in; mindfulness evaporates.

I could use some help with fabric dying….. I sort of use the “dump” method which works but would like to have more control. I would love to have this DVD. Diane

{Summer}

Just a quick note to show you that I’m alive and well.  We are spending as much time as we can outdoors and my mantra with this blog has become “I”ll post when I can… otherwise I’m not going to stress over it.”  You understand, don’t you? Right here, right now I’m: Enjoying the summer...

lovely to see your reverence and gratitude for the little things. your garden is so beautiful– it would be hard for me to decide between sewing or gardening if i had an outside space like that. glad you’re enjoying your summer….

Your little dye house looks so cute with the full garden in front of it.

Right here… right now…

Loving the fact that my children aren’t too old to dye Easter eggs.  This time with natural dyes, plants from the garden, and treasures from the pantry. Planning to write more about it tomorrow after the big reveal. Finding the time for a stroll outside… Enjoying the silence and stillness that sunset brings… … marveling...

Love your photos, I love using red cabbage, carrots, broccoli, and teas for coloring eggs. Simple but brings so much joy.
