Pop art…literally.

Most of you probably do not know that I was an art student….first in general art and then in graphic design. My deepest love was for Pop art…these pictures brought that all back to me. Literally. I read about these on “art for housewives” a blog about all sorts of

Back from a little break

I’ve taken a little “blogging break” – and now onto a bunch of Christmas projects and other ongoing issues. In one of the blogs I read all the time (I actually can’t remember which one) I was led to this site: Nightstitcher.com – gosh, GORGEOUS quilts….love em! I adore the

I’ve been a bit quiet

Okay, so I’ve had kind of a “down” week…my cat is really sick. She’s old, but that doesn’t make me feel much better. The vet took a blood sample and we’ll hear tomorrow. I also found out a friend/mentor from my past died. Not old enough to die and died
