Lacis: Here is the story and I am sticking to it. . .

Normally I am not a cutesy kind of person
But. . .I do very much honor tradition
So,
Once upon that time when I paid a visit to that wonderful store Lacis in Berkeley and after buying most wonderful items found with great difficulty right there and no place else upon this earth I wandered down the street. Antiques for sale said that sign that brought me inside to find a wonderful tattered very used and soon to be treasured (again) crazy quilt. This crazy quilt is obviously made by a real American woman who used little bits of her treasures to savor for many other eyes in many other times.
This hangs in my upstairs studio that I use in the winter months. It is snowing again today and to cheer myself I choose to share this along with something I am working on at the moment waiting for spring to show it's pretty little head. A contemporary take on crazy quilting of my own is in progress. Soon I get to the good part which is the embroidery. I hope this little bit of a story brings something nice to you or you can come along for a mad tea party where this is down the rabbit hole.
We will have such a nice time.
Oh yes, I forgot to tell you that I really really did have a wolf at my front door the other day.

Many Rivers To Cross


And I Can't seem to Find


My Way Over


Soon it will be spring where I will find gushing streams flowing
down the mountain on my way to Burke's Garden

flash flood warning

creative dam breaking

March Wind Warning 60 mph

Just another day!

Top of the mornin to you
