Can't figure out how to do a slide show yet, so you'll have to look at Flicker

It was great!

Back from Artfiberfest in Portland! Reed College was beautiful and the campus setting fostered great camaraderie and so much fun! Was it the best ever? Maybe! I missed those who didn't make it this year...and am eager to see them at next years event!
A wonderfully inspiring time was had! I'll post pictures later!

I'm struggling with re-entry to my world!

From blue to purple

foot color has changed from blue to purple. Even prettier!
Went to doctor and for x-rays....
I still don't think it is broken...

Someone needs a pedicure

Guess who didn't have a pedicure before a big piece of plexiglass fell on her foot?

While shopping for thread of all things.

Murphy's law...

Hobbling around.

PS: Yes, my feet are the size of Andre the Giant's. Yes, the right foot is blue.

Thinking about my friend...

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.
Edith Wharton,

Today was the funeral for my dear friend Carol, in Sweden. Too far away to be there, but close to my thoughts and heart today.
The quote above, reminds me of Carol. She was the candle for so many people. She spread light to so many...children and adults alike. I am hopeful that there will be ample opportunity to follow her example and reflect the light to others along my path.

I am in the process of writing a children's book for Carol's daughter. My talented friend, Teri is doing the illustrations... I know Carol would love this idea...
