The last two days have been a blur. As in, I walk into my studio and can’t remember what I was about to do or grab the keys to the front door, walk purposefully out to the elevator and suddenly cannot remember where I’m going or what I’m doing there. This is disconcerting to say… Continue reading Finally, My Exciting News!!

And while we’re on the topic, I just have to say, workout bras are truly a form of torture. You […]

read moreSome people use calendars, others just keep everything they need to do in their heads, I keep lists.

read moreI spent at least 16 hours this weekend analyzing and stitching examples of the Trellis Stitch. Specifically the spiral trellis stitch, which was one of dozens of stitches that adorned the Plimoth Jacket, a women’s waistcoat, made in the early 1600’s. Another heavily embroidered jacket is in the costume collection at the Metropolitan Museum here… Continue reading What I Did Over the Weekend…
read moreJust about ten days ago New York City was enjoying a less than 1% infection rate. We are now at about 17.6 cases for every 100,000 people, which is still relatively small when compared to other parts of the country. But in densely populated areas like Manhattan it doesn’t take much to infect a great… Continue reading The Pandemic & Stitching Anyway
read moreA little humor to start off the day. It must be said that my mother did not send me any of these, however she might have, had she seen them. Here you go, Mom. I love you. I’m feeling a bit like Pooh Bear. To any of you offended by the f-word, these are unprecedented… Continue reading Chaos, Humor & a Do-Over
