This blog is spiffing up a bit. As with human make-overs, the change is not happening in an instant. Instead, with much help, I’m sorta playing with it. Trying this and that, learning a tiny bit about the inner workings. I never thought I’d be interested in such a thing, but it keeps calling me […] Read More

Why this blog looks peculiar today: Last night I decided that I’d go into the inner workings, fiddle with the html code and make a few changes. I’d never touched any code in my life before. Amazingly, I was somewhat successful. I made the changes I wanted. Plus, obviously, a few that I could do […] Read More

About yesterday’s class in Remedial Fairy Viewing: for those who are open to the possibility, it was a class in ordinary practical techniques for attempting something nearly unbelievable. For anyone who isn’t open to the idea(and you probably did not attend), instructor Megan Mitchell still offered some wisdom. It was a talk about “the expansion […] Read More

And she has a huge amount of it done. This event is roughly equivalent to discovering that your next-door neighbor of 20+ […] Read More

My psychologist husband tells me I like to create “Great Wall of China projects.” And it’s true that I seem drawn to doing things the hard way. For example, I made a quilt with a needle and thread. But I’d rather not have to do everything the most difficult way, or the high-stress bear-down-hard way, […] Read More

After a couple of days away, back to my list of rediscovered treasures. Number Three (not in order of importance) is <a href=" Julia Cameron's seminal, world-changing, now-classic The Artist's Way.
