'Todi Umbria,' by contemporary British watercolorist Alan Reed

So many quilts sew little time. Many more to come. This one was started by someone else. It wasn't going well. Took some time to fix it.

#ScotsPine #Tree at #GoldenHour This 100 ‘ pine, lives across the street from me. Last night the sun was lighting up the orange bark, making it appear to glow. Worried for it’s fate as it is very close to a street where trees are being whacked down. #PNW #Photography #WhippleCreek #RidgefieldWA

I’m giving away 26 mini prints this weekend. Each mini print is 5x5” and mounted onto a ¾” thick wood panel. They are easy to hang, lean or stand. They are adorable and every bit as beautiful as my large prints, just smaller. Visit my website to enter!

Aaaand my favorite book I read this year was Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë! I feel a bit behind reading through a lot of classics for the first time at 35, but this one really surprised me. I thought it would feel outdated and slow but that wasn’t the case for me at all. Wish I had read it sooner!

Finishing off 2025 with a switch to florals. Cross stitch patterns designed by me, based on drawings by @soniastegemann.bsky.social

I am a curiosity, A simple ebb and flow, Day dreamer of distraction, A thoughtful to and fro, I am a swirling noggin, Forgetful but with tea, Adrift, away with fairies, But always, ever me. #thingstowriteabout curiosity flow

When I first got to Santa Barbara 669 days ago I started shooting 8 bazillion Pelican photos. I slowed down a lot this year(after seeking professional help lol) but here's one I got in the harbor that I dig! #SantaBarbara #Birds #Nature #Photography

Neither a mountain nor a molehill, but something in between. Yesterday I explored around the base of the Vermilion Cliffs east of Kanab, UT, and checked out the many moods of the Chinle Formation. #BlueSkyMonday #hiking #landscapes

Over halfway done with this #embroidery!

I've said this before but we have the best sunsets in the winter here. This was a few years back in Pacifica, CA. Stopped on the way back home at Rockaway to catch this one. #photography #beach #sunset
