This morning's sky





The sky this morning was so full... of peace, of deep meaning... and a something that could only be described as promise.

Sometimes optimism is only a matter of physically looking up and seeing what is always there.

I have this thing for the beach. I'm sure it's noticable. This is a 6 " x 6 " acrylic painting on masonite.


The picture of it didn't get the purple glow at the top or the clouds the moon is hiding behind. I really need to work on photographing my artwork.


I'm not sure if this is done yet or a work in progress. I thought photographing it would help but frankly the photo is so poor it doesnt help much.


I guess I'll live with it and see.

Baby Hats and other assorted crocheted things...

I started loom-knitting and crocheting about 2 years ago just so I could felt. I thought felting was about the neatest thing ever... The process of felting isn't complicated although it is time consuming. And it is more art than science - there is always an element of surprise in the finished product.

I don't mind that.

Crochet Inpiration is a book I admire very much. It's big and beautiful - colorful and exquisite. The ideas are perfect in themselves or as springboards for bigger projects. I have a seriousl love-fest with this book. So worth the money!

TAMPOPO - A favorite DVD review

It's billed as a Japanese Noodle Western. That alone was enough for me to see it years ago. And I've been a fan ever since. It hit all my favorite quirky notes - the food shots were beyond fabulous...the story is unique... The shots of Japan are terrific.

It's just plain crazy-fun! Check out the other reviews on Amazon...I'm not the only one who's a fan of Tampopo!

Sometimes I miss the details but catch them on reflection.
