Park remodel?
The sibs are marking the passage of time with photo-journaling the seasons in our local park. There was a bench that was Sis and Bro’s favorite spot. After at least 13 years, the park rangers removed it. WHAT? Why? How come? Breaking my little babies hearts.
Making artist books
It is fall class submission time. One of my projects is one of a kind artist books. A two day class: day one is painting papers and calendar construction, day two is quilting and book construction.
keep it simple
Family traditions, holiday expectations, religious doctrine? Try to keep in mind what is most important. Love. Health. Communication. Good will. Respect. Gratitude. My brother, Bubba, and I were from CO to Omaha, NE last week for a family health emergency. Our mother handled the travel arrangements through Travelocity. Major kudos to both. Through Travelocity, the [...]
Sis photo
Sis and the brood got to traipse through the park today. She was lucky enough to snap this photo of the resident deer. So all winter long we have received next to nothing by way of snow in the greater Denver, CO area. Thankfully we are making up for it in April. Update on this [...]
shamless Sibs plug
Since I’ve been neglectful of my embellishment collage cards, and only playing with the siblings, I’m consolidating: enlisting the big brother of Hobie Obie (he has no name yet, any suggestions?) to help me announce a February sale. For every collage card purchased from the On-line store, I will include a second collage free. The [...]
exposed
Scolded by my brother for not posting regularly. We upgraded with WordPress and I’m a slow learner. On Sunday I created a new page for the Sib’s Sunday instead of a new post. Rejected by Somerset Studios, again. This time without a note of encouragement to keep submitting. Haven’t heard anything from a place I’m [...]
Risks big and small
Restoring democracy and civil liberties. Throw in condemning torture. Okay, our risks needn’t be so dramatic. Maybe start with learning the tourist basics of a foreign language, and actually practice it with a native speaker. All beginnings are good.
Live the dream
Time to dream, and believe, because outrageous dreams do come true. Time to renew, progress and move forward, not backward. For hope and rebuilding.
New day
It’s a new dawn, a new day, and I’m feeling good. Embarking on a new year. One full of change, promise, and hope. Happy new year everyone. and happy birthday mom.
Sibs at the laundromat
Bad mother! Last week I neglected the Sibs, so to atone, we went all out. Trip to the laundromat. It was like a circus! I think they enjoyed it, even the tumbles in the dryers. It wasn’t until it was too late I saw the sign that children are not allowed to play in the [...]
Baby steps
The new plan to survive the month of December: Baby Steps. Squeeze a minute in to paint here. Sit to sew for 10 minutes there. Eat holiday cookies while slurping morning coffee. Baby Steps.
Free time?
How many of you truly enjoy all the crazy preparations before the big holidays? Do you sit back and enjoy the twinkling lights or candles decorating your home, the holiday music playing? This time of year blows. Our ‘day job’ goes through massive stress and decision making right now. Getting samples made, refined, priced and [...]
where is home?
Home is where the heart is. Where would home be if your heart dreamed? Would you have a home if you dreamed of traveling the world over? What if your dreams were split between hemispheres or seasons? Home is where the heart is, and my heart dreams of warm water, sand, and sangria. Mixed Media [...]

Happy Thanksgiving
Hope you all eat well, enjoy your family, your day off (if you’re lucky enough) and all look forward to the new year of new beginnings. michele and family and cats and siblings.
The cure
I’d been struggling all month long to get back to normal. I’ve learned I need structure and routine to funtion. So I put myself on a new schedule. When I get home from the ”day job” I cannot sit down for one hour minimum; I must play. I’ve been painting, collage-ing, and sewing. It’s working. [...]
