Fat Girls

I make Plus Size Aprons. I really want to call the line Fat Girls. I think it gives power to the term, as if to say “Here I am, I’m not going anywhere.” My fear is that few people will follow my thinking. So until I feel otherwise, we use the lame term “Plus Size”.
When people follow your new idea, its called revolution. When they don’t follow you, its called, odd man out.

Living with Roger Swain

If ever there was a man I wanted to spend time with, it is Roger Swain. I love his humor, his passion for plants, his sense of adventure and just all around really nice, happy, joyful man. Now, thanks to Netflix, I can come close. People, Plants and Places, hosted by my dear Roger, has 46 episodes availble for viewing. I clicked “yes” to allowing Roger into my studio and 46 eipsodes now play one after the other.

I now go cheerfully through my house cleaning, sewing, working in the studio into the late hours to the sound of Rogers voice around me. He tells me about tulips, and gound covers and tree. He demonstrates that tools I dream of having, He landscapes yards I dream of owning. He takes me places I want to go.

….instead of being here.

Creativity

My creativity has existed within the confines of the tangible; fabric, walls, clay, roving, and quilting. I never intended to be a graphic artist. I still don’t want to be one. But living with a near empty wallet causes certain truths to exist. One of those truths is that I cannot afford a web designer. Unfortunately, it must be me. Intentional or not, I seem to be getting better at the task. My latest efforts.
