Welcome!

Welcome! ....As a Painter and Textile Artist....... I also make "stuff". I love the creative process... My design style spans from the charm and unpretentions of the Rustic, Folkart Primitives, the comfortable and pleasant Cottage/Traditionals, to the surprises in Found Object and the mystery of Improvisational Abstract. I am inspired by God and His creation... I design and paint, and sew and knit and carve wood, and enjoy needle handwork... My creative curiosity leads me from one to the next... I enjoy my garden, have a dog and a cat, love the outdoors, and I enjoy my family and friends! I currently live in the beautiful state of Idaho...

Nice Weather in March, Finally!

     Greetings!  Has it really been since Christmas?  I'll try and do better!  The day is showing itself to be inviting and warm,...I'm hopeful that Spring is here!  Today I plan to do some sewing and painting...  I have ideas ruminating around in my brain waiting to be realized.  Today is the day to do it.  I will also have a pot of stew on the kitchen stove making the house smell good, to reward me with dinner. 
     I wish you all a wonderful Sunday.

Oh Spring!

Oh Spring!  OK, I admit it, I haven't come down yet off this long awaited spring weekend....  I caught these beauties in my garden, before they were gone.  Here for too short a time..  This picture could easily find it's way into inspiration for a painting...  I adore days such as these, with the temperature comfortable and the days wide open for involvement.  What to do, What to do?  So many options, not to be curtailed by weather meant for winter...  I'm off to the hardware store for gardening supplies...  Enjoy your day.
