From My Mother, The Highline & A Love Story from Where Art & Life Meet

First things first, this came from my mother the other day and I just couldn’t resist posting it here for all of you. A little humor to start the day off is always a good thing, I think. “Lexophilia “Lexophile” describes those that have a love of words, especially in word games, such as “you can… Continue reading From My Mother, The Highline & A Love Story

My First LiveStream & the Occasional Swear Word from Where Art & Life Meet

It was a bumpy start and I almost deleted the whole thing, but then thought better of it and decided it was a good marker of my FIRST ever public livestream! You can skip past the bumps, like the beginning where I talk to myself thinking since no one had shown up yet, it didn’t… Continue reading My First LiveStream & the Occasional Swear Word

My Mother, British Humor, Thread Kits & More from Where Art & Life Meet

As I grow older I am more and more appreciative of my parents and all they did and, in my mother’s case, still does. So I begin this post with a photo of my parents, above. It’s one of my favorites.

“Discomfort” & Designing from Where Art & Life Meet

I’m working on something new, which is always exciting and uncomfortable at the same time. *Digression alert* That word -uncomfortable – is also used when you go into a doctor’s office to have a surgical procedure done and they say, “This might pinch a little” or when you go to the dentist to get your… Continue reading “Discomfort” & Designing

Sh*t my Mother Sends Me from Where Art & Life Meet

In keeping with the sh*t-my-mother-sends-me theme since this pandemic hit all of us broadside, forcing us to become bit players in a sci-fi film we didn’t know was in production, here’s the latest from my mother.

#StayAtHome aka When Will it End & Other Musings from Where Art & Life Meet

New Yorkers are a resourceful group for the most part, but we are also impatient, easily distracted, and busy. We are very, very busy. Don’t ask us what’s our hurry, you’ll be met with a bleary-eyed scowl of contempt. Don’t believe me? Ever walked down a street in mid-town Manhattan in the middle of the… Continue reading #StayAtHome aka When Will it End & Other Musings

Sleepless In New York City from Where Art & Life Meet

On yet another night of sleeplessness I decided it was high time I found out where the whole – count sheep and fall asleep – idea originated. Which, oddly, led me to the discovery of Goats Parkour and the fact that sea otters love to eat sea urchin, which, as facts go, is kind of… Continue reading Sleepless In New York City

Flower Flash, Sleeplessness & Amazing Photographs from Where Art & Life Meet

I planned on talking about sleeplessness and that feeling of waiting for sleep to return at 3am only to find that hours have drifted by and not being sure whether you’ve actually been awake the whole time or staring at the ceiling in the early hours of a new day was a bad dream. I… Continue reading Flower Flash, Sleeplessness & Amazing Photographs

News & Musings From New York City from Where Art & Life Meet

The news here in New York City, more specifically Manhattan, is that non-essential shops, restaurants, etc will continue to be in lockdown.

Creating Anyway from Where Art & Life Meet

This is the title of my latest YouTube video where I talk about how easy it is to talk oneself out of creating something new.

Happy New Year 2018! from Monkey's on the Porch

Once again it is time for a new year and new beginnings! Hopefully you and yours are staying warm and safe so far this winter. It has been a bit on the cold side here and we are looking forward to getting out of the deep freeze – hopefully sooner rather than later!

In the meantime, it’s once again time to get back on track. I don’t know about you, but it has been a couple of months before I had a chance to sit at my sewing machine. That’s kind of sad isn’t it? I really ...
