Messy feeds my creative side
I went into my office last night to get some painting done on some canvas (yay for backordered canvas finally arriving) and discovered that my work area is messy. Again. How does this happen? I feel like I am always straightening this space up. Part of the problem is an overabundance of stuff that doesn’t [...]

Feeling Friday
Hooray for Friday! It has been a tumultuous week. Thanks for all the good wishes, my brother and his family are doing fine in Armenia, but hope to be back in Tbilisi this weekend.

Freaking out
So this is completely non-stitching related, but I’m starting to freak out. My brother and his family all moved to Georgia at the end of July.

Dawn breaks
Strange coincidence that the day Breaking Dawn comes out, TS Edouard shows up in the Gulf. The spelling is different, but I think the sentiment is there. http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/tracking/at200805.html Anyway, I didn’t run out and buy Breaking Dawn, yet. I will eventually, but right now, I’m re-reading the others. Of course, now that I know the [...]

Let the Games Begin!
Four years ago, I released “All Greek to Me” which was inspired by an earlier trip to Greece and the Athens Olympics: This was the first of the “Ancient World Samplers”, which is a typical Cross Eyed Kat twist on traditional samplers. It has the Greek alphabet, along with some specialty stitches and a picture [...]
