A Spiritual Journey Through Creativity
I flew yesterday. September 11, 2016. 15 years later. When I first made my reservations I felt a little odd about it, but then I remembered fear doesn’t rule my life – or at least I don’t want it to. So, I went forward with my plans. Indianapolis to Dallas, all was well. Dallas to… Continue reading Interruptions
When I go for walks I often wonder what’s going on in the houses I’m passing. Hopefully I don’t come across as creepy or nosey when I gaze a little too long into the front window while waiting for Denali to finish her business. I’m just curious. I wonder who lives there and if they… Continue reading Tiny Houses
My first pet post is not about Denali. I know, I'm shocked too. Denali's own post will come soon enough, but there's so much to say about her - I need to spend some extra time thinking about how I want to compose her post. Gus, however, is an easy one to write about since… Continue reading Gus
Several months ago I was taking a shower (I have taken some since then as well) and I saw a spider. Normally when I see a spider in the shower I find away to get rid of it. But this time was different. I stood there staring at it. I couldn't take my eyes off… Continue reading Spiders
I like routines. When I don't follow the routine I forget things - like taking my allergy pill or grabbing my lunch on the way to work. I like knowing what comes next. I like certainty - ah, my allusive friend that I can never quite catch. I'm predictable and I like it when everyone… Continue reading Seasons
Like me, Chiyona has been a camp counselor, retreat leader, youth minister and so much more. Unlike me, Chiyona saved every single shirt. When she first contacted me I had only made two t-shirt quilts - one for me and one for my older brother. Two quilts and it was all in the family. I… Continue reading Chiyona’s Quilts
This won't be long and there's a reason for that. I'm tired. We had a wonderful weekend away in a new city with good friends. We ate good food and drank good beer. We walked and walked. We avoided a tropical storm. We laughed a lot. It was just what I needed to help reset… Continue reading Tired
We decided to follow the Freedom Trail, which led us to King's Chapel. I'm sure I'd heard of the church before but it wasn't strong in my memory. We were on a scavenger hunt and already got the answer from this location; we could have easily moved on to the next clue. Thankfully my friend wanted… Continue reading King’s Chapel and Fenway
I've never enjoyed scary or suspenseful things. I once left a theater in tears during the middle of the movie because I was so scared. Another time I was at a sleep over and they decided to watch It. Why? Why does anyone think this is a good idea?! I crouched behind the kitchen counter… Continue reading Stranger Things
Just over a month ago I was contacted by a previous customer - she wanted to have another quilt made. (For more background about my quilting, read this.) I may write a post about her first two quilts, but let's just say this new request was almost as tragic as the first. Meg was going… Continue reading Javi’s Quilt
