Secret Garden

If you keep your eyes open when you walk around the District, you’ll see many beautiful little nooks and crannies like this. My grandmother would have said these are the places where fairies live.
On another note: The thing about Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is that it saps your ability and desire to do [...]

PINK

These six-inch beauties startled me when I was walking to work last Thursday…I looked to my left and there they were, in all their glory. So the next day, I tossed my camera into my bag before leaving the house, so I could share their raspberry-ice deliciousness with you.
CAT EMERGENCY O’ THE MONTHWe came home [...]

A Perfect Day

Need I say more?
Well, perhaps I do, considering my absence lately. You see, I sprained my knee…
I went to the ER with excrutiating pain and numbness(!) after a bad fall. X-rays and a sonogram ruled out broken bones and deep vein thrombosis (DVT, a dangerous blood clot condition that can happen to anyone after any [...]

Café de Printemps

Weekend plans: Find a table in the sun with my honey, order some cool drinks, and read/write/knit to our hearts’ content.
As for MDSW: I just can’t do it. We’ve been a bit tight, money-wise, lately, and so I decided that it would make more sense to spend that money on:
(1) Our May rent (!)(2) Beads [...]

Feeling Pretty

Mmmmmm. Pretty colors…
I promise to talk about something else after this, but I just had to share my recent sock yarn madness. This is the stash accumulated, mostly, during the past month…Largely rewards for meeting a goal I set for myself :-)
The two “cakes” are Lorna’s Laces Watercolors and Neighborhood Fiber Co. (NFC) Brightwood. The [...]

Bad Yarn Karma Reversed!

First things first. Here’s some belated eye candy:
The image quality sucks–I snapped this with my cell phone camera yesterday–but those colors were just gorgeous.
Anyway, I’ve been away for a few days. Not feeling so hot. I had a medical issue last week (Maggie wasn’t the only one) and followed up with a doctor’s appointment yesterday. [...]

Where do you find inspiration?

I find it in the gorgeous colors of a perfect spring day: Robin’s egg blue; pale, sandy beige; tart, fresh green; and the glorious colors of blossoming trees illuminated by the golden morning sun.
Looking at these photos, it’s obvious I’ve been in the mood for pastels mixed with brown. Pink and brown, pale green and [...]

Cherry blossoms and so much more…

PS. Click on the first photo to enlarge – or, if you have very good eyes, just look closely – and you’ll see the White House at the end of 16th Street…

Inspiration…

I take so much inspiration from our trips to the shore. Cape May in particular. The moody colors of the sea, sand, sky, and the brilliant hues of the Victorian houses (mostly B&Bs now). And when I look more closely, I find inspiration in the lines and shapes around me: the way the grasses lie [...]
