Midnight Requisition

Here's to wishing I had some gold pants to wear today.

2015 was a year of great changes and shifts.  I look forward to greeting new challenges and adventures in 2016 as well as rekindling my artistic practice.  This is a shot of a small embroidered wallet I made at the end of last year.  I was really happy with the finished product, especially the pencil-drawn pattern and the braided string closure.

Thinking about circadian rhythms and R.E.M.

When I was a kid I used to make mini pies with the apples and peaches from our backyard and sell them out of a stand on my street.  I also sold eggs from our chickens and homemade tea. The apples from our yard were always tiny and super tart.  Ever since those days I have loved a really sour apple pie with very little added sugar. My days of selling pies and homemade tea tinctures may have passed but I still love to make pies. I have Kate Lebo and Pie School to thank for the most delicious recipes and pie anecdotes.  This photo was taken by my mom at Thanksgiving as I was prepping our apple pie.
