Gettin’ my stitch on over here. Here’s another piece to tantalize, not sure what the title is yet. I like how weirdly clinical the image is.

Been busy busy busy stitching over here! Got my first big piece done for my show at the Hive this May; woot! It’s a triptych and I’m super proud! I’m calling this series Fiber and Flesh, and the title of this first piece is, “Where do I begin?”

Ooh, Miss Peggy Lee was fabulous! She’s so blase and fierce! Look at that dress, that hair, that knowing, sly smile!

It’s 5.30 in the morning… I’ve been getting up earlier these days, but this was not on the agenda.
I started a 40 day yoga challenge yesterday. I go most days anyway, but this is a commitment to a larger challenge, trying to set a new habit pattern. So I went first thing yesterday morning and didn’t have any tea before class, because I didn’t want to have to pee halfway through. Then I ran right out after a quick shower (went out to lunch with a pal and to see the Hedi Slimane exhibit at MOCA – a really interesting installation if you’re around) and with one thing and another, never had any caffeine yesterday.
Woke up around 4.30am, in exquisite pain. Such a headache. I’m now on my second cup of serious black tea and the hurt has almost subsided. I guess I’ll go to the 1.30pm class today rather than the 9.30am. I’ll work for a bit now, then take a nap by 11 for an hour, then go to yoga. I’m supposed to go to a couple openings tonight, but I might be wacky by then.
How does one ween from caffeine without a headache? I wasn’t intending to give it up, but if this is what happens when I go 30 or so hours without, I have to get off of it. And here’s another question, if I stop drinking tea regularly, can I have a cup occasionally, or will I get a headache the next day? This really sucks.

What a terrific start this year is off to! Woke early, went to the Farmers Market, then a hike with a girlfriend, and I made a curtain panel that I’ve needed for months. Here’s to getting it done in 2012!!!
And to that end, here’s a list I’ve come up with, of goals for the new year:
- less television
- more patience
- more reading
- more glitter and sequins
in fact, more glamor all together
- more kindness
- more gratitude
- more hugs
- more unicorns
I wish all of this and more to you; here’s to an fabulous year!
Well my dears, another one bites the dust. It was a trying year for many of us, though fab things happened too. I have a very good feeling about 2012, an auspicious year with abundance for all. I’m so thankful for all of you and for all the lovely things that did happen this year.
Be safe tonight, don’t get too drunk (or high), and please get home safely.
See you next year!!!

I’m going, going, back, back, to Cali, Cali…
And not a moment too soon. I’ve had a lovely time, seen loved friends and family, eaten a lot of pizza and pierogi, viewed a bunch of art, but I’m ready to sleep in my bed, wake in my room, etc, etc…
See you on the sinister coast!
Nothing says Christmas like John Denver and the Muppets! Have a fabulous day, all!
Happy to be home for the holidays!
Was riding uptown on the train yesterday when I decided to get off at Columbus Circle and go to the Museum of Art and Design. I’m so glad I did! Turns out Rebecca Ringquist – who’s work I adore! – is the Wednesday afternoon artist in residence through March. And she’s just as lovely as she is talented. If you’re near NY and have a mid-week afternoon free, go go go meet her and learn about her work.
Here’s a sample of what she’s currently working on:
And then I went for pizza.
Being in NYC always makes me nostalgic for Carvel cakes of yore… Here’s a little holiday spirit from the late 80′s.
Hope everyone is weathering the holiday whirl. I got home late last night. Brought Cali warmth with me (55 degrees when I landed), but the temps have fallen over night (45 now) and will continue to fall all week. Hey, maybe I’ll get a white Christmas.
For those of you who are less than pleased at the prospect of family and home, I submit the Awkward Family Photos 12 days of Xmas. I’m sure you know this site by now, but I’d like to remind you how funny they are! Here’s my favorite Awkward Xmas moment thus far this year:
Merry Happy Everyone!
