Trish makes art quilts and silver jewelry. Her pendant is lovely. I don't feel so bad about having so many interests since I've been talking to several quilters through The Quilt Show website. Seems that many of ... http://wishwoodgraphics.com/?p=77               Another Monday and I’m overwhelmed by all I’ve gotten myself into. Today I will work on this new blog and then on another head for the soft sculpture doll, my twelfth try to make a reasonable head and face. I’m going to throw away all the wrong ones. ... http://wishwoodgraphics.com/?p=75 I'm fine, truly the best I've been since OldeLar died. Its taken me 7½ years and the right little house to get over Lar's "leaving."  I love where I am; figuratively, emotionally, and spiritually. I like keeping up my blog. It challenges me to write something each month. I don't create ... http://wishwoodgraphics.com/?p=72 I haven’t written for my blog since March 23rd.

Well, I suddenly discovered that the design can be taken apart. This opens up major possibilities for redesigning. Here’s what I did next. Above is the original blac&white photo of the ... http://wishwoodgraphics.com/?p=62 Hey Matt&Sarah, I will eventually get the head phones so I can talk to with you in Vietnam. I’ve been hassling with lots of stuff over the past several days; dr appointments, chest xray, blood test, water-softener repairman, and a new handy man. The final closing of the Stow house has ... http://wishwoodgraphics.com/?p=59 Dear Friends, sorry I missed posting something for January, but I’ve two pieces being critiqued in a few days, one an essay called "Soft Abuse", and the other a short memoir; "The Best Laid Plans".   The first month of this year, went well. I figured out a good furniture arrangement for the ... http://wishwoodgraphics.com/?p=57 Dear Friends,    This sixth year of the new millennium is coming to a pleasant end. I’m settled in my little ranch house with it’s great room and window wall. The house suits me. It only took six months for the former house to sell, which isn’t so very long, except ... http://wishwoodgraphics.com/?p=50 This graphpic is a possible title page for the book and obviously displays one of the quilts I hope to make.  As I woke this morning, I was mentally rearranging the furniture in my great room, but I had also reverted to watercolor painting.
