There are ridiculous amounts of dandelions all over town–I love it. Here’s a pretty field we passed on a drive yesterday (it was about to storm)…

And here are my muddy feet from our hike today, with dandelions. We heard lots of thunder, so we ended up turning around when we were almost to the hard part [...]

I meant to mention earlier this week that we spent Memorial Day 550 feet beneath the earth….

in the Lewis and Clark Caverns. There were about 600 steps to walk through–eep!, and a slide, and some zigzaggy sections, and some sections where you couldn’t stand up, which was more annoying for Paul, I think. It was [...]

Lest you think I’m sitting here idly, here are two of my recently published sewing projects. I actually made these back in January (I think) when I was just dreaming of summer. Unfortunately I am still dreaming because it has been rainy all week– so much so that all of the bread is molding. Whine.

Both [...]

Since I last updated…. 

Somebody got his Master’s degree. Yay!

And we’ve been doing some day trips, including one to yellowstone last Friday. It is baby bison season, and they are all SO cute. They are the little orange furballs looking exhausted in the above photo.  I took some better/closer pics with Paul’s camera but he hasn’t uploaded them [...]

Today was such a gorgeous day outside that we had to go for a little drive, and then (after the sad Spurs game) a hike.

Here’s Paul on the trail. Of course I picked the super easy one since I have basically been hibernating all winter, and I was panting nonetheless. It’s the elevation….yes…. I’m still [...]

Edit: Oops, I thought I pressed publish on this when I wrote it Monday, but I guess not! Here you go.
I set myself up with an embroidery project for the plane (I must have been inspired by Floresita), and in case I got bored in New York (yeah right) and wanted to stay home. I [...]

It is good to be back in New York. I never lived in Manhattan (although I worked in Soho), and I forgot how very crowded it is. I don’t miss that aspect. I have been doing a lot of looking, eating, shopping and being. I never took the time to make small talk with anyone [...]

Today I took another little walk to see the horses while Paul was in the studio. It was a lovely 40-something degrees today but some of the horses were still wearing blankets (which cracks me up, because I am mean).  They came running over to see if I had apples for them, but I did not.

A few [...]

This afternoon I was, yet again, lucky enough to tag along with the art grads to another artist’s studio. This was actually a joint visit, as Richard Notkin and Phoebe Toland are married and share studio space in Helena, Montana; we got to meet them both. I’ve been excited to (hopefully) meet Richard ever since I [...]

Yesterday I convinced Paul to take me to Winter Fest, which had a kind of stock show/county fair vibe.  I was most interested in the quilts and the petting zoo (yay!).  The quilts were largely traditional, but there was one with some amazing feedsack fabrics. I didn’t take any pictures though, so you’ll have to [...]
