Let It Rain

smoke is in my eyes

The fires are 30 miles from here. 

I do not own TV, so I get my info on the internet here

I live in Carmine

The air is smoky, I had to close my doors and windows.

There is a gloomy eerie ash everywhere.

This morning when I lit my morning ritual candle and incense, 
it seemed ironic, as my friends and neighbors are on fire. 
Their homes are burning down to the ground. 
I suddenly realized that the smoky air is filled 
with burnt memories, favorite toys, photos, blankets, 
special trinkets, collections adorning the walls 
and shelves of living rooms and bedrooms.

This is my dead lawn.

Brown and crunchy.

Parched.

But I still have a home.

Thread Happy

I cook alot.

I sew alot.

I collect vintage fabric.

 I used to make full-size quilts.

Now I just make tiny pieces of art 

that satisfy my sewing obsession.

I like to make stuff that is practical, things I use everyday.

Things that make me smile!

So if you can't take the heat 

in your kitchen.....

MAKE COOL POTHOLDERS!!

Life is Good

I am busy sewing aprons, grocery bags,

and itty bitty ditty bags from t-shirts!

Getting it ready for Round Top 

Antique Festival and Happy Belly Days!

for me, Life is Good 

when I can run a needle and thread thru some colorful fabric

What brings you JOY this week 
and makes your life good?
