Breaking News – Halloween Cancelled! I had my sign up and bowls of candy by the door, but no one came. Many people still don’t have power, hopefully they’ve found a warmer place to stay. As I drive through town I see green, yellow and orange leaves dancing in the sunlight and drifting down to…
Oct. 27, 2011 – I get a call from my daughter who’s in college near Albany, NY. “Mom it’s snowing!”, “You’re kidding, right?” I responded. A couple hours later we had a little snow dusting as well, just a little. Oct. 28, 2011 – We woke up to see that the grass & cars were…

So here is my latest bag, but I haven’t found buttons yet, so it’s not quite done. It’s big enough to be an art tote, you could put sketch pads, paint brushes and all your other gear in it. It could also work as a diaper bag, I would have used it for that back…
“All that we are is the result of what we have thought; it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him like a shadow that never leaves him.” BUDDAH, 563-483 BC Founder of Buddism
