It’s back…

What’s back, you may ask.  Well, thank you for asking.  ‘Color Cubes’ by Laura Perin as interpreted by me is now framed.  I LOVE how it turned out. So with many thanks to Ms. Perin and my framer, Ms. Cindy, may I present  Color Cubes (most appropriately named, don’t you think?): The colors are, as [...]

It was not the…

…world’s best week here in the north country–at least for this particular northerner.  But it had it bright spots like a surprise visit from a dear friend, a good prognosis for another friend and even some stitching time.  It just goes to show that silver lining thing is NOT a myth! And if you’re in [...]

Santa Fe Square Framed…

The Santa Fe Outer Borders…

…are done. All I’m going to do tonight before bed is post my progress photos from the weekend. But the textures are cool, no? It is on to filling in the middle motifs this week. Well…actually, I’m not…going to post photos, that is. WordPress isn’t cooperating tonight. So, I will post photos tomorrow. I shared [...]
