"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

This Happened

I was supposed to be cleaning off my work table in the studio....and I got distracted by precious little snippets......and this happened.

I can see now that I want to add a row of stitching around the outside of the mount....that will be a nice finish.

Photographs help me see things that I miss in person.  


Cleaning my table...and my studio for that matter...are usually hopeless tasks.  I'm so easily distracted...and this time it was the little watercolor scraps from my three piece collage play.

I placed some skinny two sided tape along a piece of scrap card stock and randomly arranged the scraps. When I was done I trimmed up the ends a bit.
How can this not be a good thing....a happy thing!


Still distracted.


And my table is still just how I found it...I'll try again tomorrow. Full disclosure....I had to work on a board in my lap because there wasn't room on the table.  But that's OK....because something fun happened.

    I wish you wouldn’t say “read on” as I do and there’s nothing else to read.

      That's a feature on the new Mail Chimp email. I'll see if my niece can change that....she's my technical support. I just putter!

      I'm not really sure....but I'll look into it. It seems it has to be on your end since other names come up. I'll see what I can find out. Thanks for checking in here.
