Scrappy Appliqued Needle Book, Monday Music, Recipe Plans from Canadian Needle Nana

I've had to crack a window in the living area this morning. This at the risk of letting in the below freezing air outside that put frost on my pumpkin this morning.

But the air inside seemed a little smokey when I came in from my walk certainly in contrast to all the brisk freshness outside. I enjoy everything about my morning ritual of starting the fire in the fireplace stove.

I also enjoy picking up sticks on my walks, ones just right for stage two of layering up the perfect fire. This is about the only thing I ...

End of Summer Drive and Happy Mail from From My Carolina Home

We had a nice drive recently with some friends. We wanted to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway when the weather cleared and cooled off, so we emailed our buddies and got a group to go. We met at a parking lot, then drove up to the parkway together. The scenery is lush and green everywhere, with cascades of bright yellow flowers here and there. Rock walls like this one are so interesting, some with water coming down.

This section of the parkway, between Hwy 191 and 276 has the most tunnels. I blurred out the SUV in front of us ...

Redwork Embroidery, Summer Bouquet, Swallowtail, Loving K.D. from Canadian Needle Nana

Late Summer Indoor Bouquet at the Farm

I don't usually make bouquets anymore as I leave it all for the bees and insects to enjoy. After a banner year for butterflies last year, not many to be seen this summer. Though I did catch this Black Swallowtail enjoying the hydrangea blooms.

It is always time for tea here. We make a giant pot and I drink a mug while it is fresh and leave the rest for Hubby. He can drink it warmed up in the microwave which is something I don't care for.

Love my slow stitching ...

Book Reviews and Going Down a Rabbit Hole from From My Carolina Home

This month was an eclectic mix of fiction and non-fiction. The second book took me down a rabbit hole for a while with a book leading to a movie, then to music from decades ago. But, let’s start with my favorite North Carolina author writing in her style of magical realism.

Other Birds by Sarah Addison Allen – A lovely tale of lonely people coming together, with Addison’s signature touch of magic. A young woman comes to a hidden away complex to claim her mother’s apartment. When one of the residents dies, the other residents reveal their stories ...

More Music from Gene Black an Alabama Artist

I would like to share with you a song that I wrote earlier this year. I think that I have it in its final form at this point. One thing that I have learned in the process is that you write down every idea as you are going. Then you can refine those during the re-writing process.

I realize that this song will not be to everyone's taste. But I hope that some of you will enjoy it. And if you don't, I would rather not hear about it. Thanks!

There is an edited version of the audio ...

The Play from Gene Black an Alabama Artist

Several of you asked for photos or video of the play. Sadly, I have no video of the show, but I do have a few photos. Since I am a total ham, I am including a video of me singing my solo. It was recorded the day after the final performance.

First is one of me, in costume playing my baritone ukulele.

This is the tableau at the end of the play.

Here is the video that I prepared so you can hear my song.

Next up is a photo of much of the cast during the song

Apocalypse Animated video from Nina Paley

I made this little “trailer” video for ApocalypseAnimated.com . It’s only 3 minutes long, while there are almost 12 minutes of animation (without even looping!) in the project, so this is but a mere sample of the wonders to find at the website. But this has music so people are likelier to share and attend to it.

There are some technical looping flaws that bother me. Apparently when I export HD video from Moho, it omits the last frame of the loop, causing a jerk in the seams. This doesn’t happen when I export gifs. To make my ...

In Bed with Elvis from Romany Quilting

Where did this happen, you are probably wondering? My neurosurgeon had requested an MRI of my spine to check on his handywork. So I presented myself bright and early for my appointment to Pacific Radiology in Palmerston North. What music would you like, I was asked? After thinking about it I decided on Elvis, after all, I fell in love with his wonderful voice when my girlfriend’s brothers used to buy his records way back then in years gone by.

So there I was, laying on my back, headphones on, cocooned inside the MRI machine for an hour, listening ...

Parallel Lines from Nina Paley

Finally I can share this animated video I made back in October, in collaboration with Italian pop goddess Gala. I of course wanted to release it the minute it was finished, but the music biz doesn’t work that way, and I had to wait. The song is © Gala, but the art is Free Culture, baby!
