Violet Bobcat stomps out the Teal Elephant

Thank goodness I did not sleep until lunchtime today. I actually got things done for a change. Laundry is done and dusted. I worked on a design or two. Made the guys’ french toast and applewood bacon for lunch. This afternoon I did not do very much. Around lunchtime, the boy had to decide Tufts…

Happy Mother’s day

Here it is. My little stall in the http://www.cottagecrafts.com/ in San Jose, California, I am hoping that this is going to be a good start to the scarves and accessory business. It was fun setting it up. The purses, totes and pouches still need to added. This is pretty exciting. Things seem to be moving at…

A violet bobcat in the teal elephant’s pen

Now that I have your attention with that crazy title. A perfectly crazy title for a crazy day. I am very discombobulated tonight. I slept in a little and I was getting ready for school and just decided to skip out today. I was just not in the mood. I called my favorite spa and asked…

Fluffy Freeda

I have always been fascinated by that iconic portrait of the great Frida Kahlo in all of her floral magnificence and so I have had this desire to create a curvy Frida…no reason I just have been wanting to create a curvy lady and she seemed to be the perfect muse. So this is my…

Walking in the wind

I woke up determined to get some jobs done today. After the boy left for school I decided to keep on sewing the labels onto the scarves. I had to go and buy some ingredients for dinner so I took this opportunity to mail graduation announcements to local family and family in South Africa and…

Taste the rainbow.

    Today I was pretty industrious. My anxiety, as usual, poked its nose into my day but staying industrious getting ready to pack in my stall kept my mind busy.  I still have odd bits and pieces to get done so I am going to wait until Friday to actually load in the spot….

Gratitude, Ginger Jars and Giclee

  Darn, that is so weird I cannot think of a title. If you see the word “title” up above then you will know that I never figured out anything witty. So today I slept until 10:30am…delicious. I got up and registered for three college classes for the fall. I have skipped taking math online…

Mental Acrobatics

TGIF…that is for sure. I am so mentally wiped this week. Today it was time to see if “Not Jean” was going to work once and for all. It went much better. It seemed to gel today. I wish I did not need it but I am truly so sad at the prospect of this…
