Leil’s 3rd grade teacher was totally awesome this year. One of those teachers you hope your child is fortunate enough to experience once or twice in their school life. Alice has her own groove going. An eclectic mix of local environmental issues, cultural studies, volunteer work and a good sprinkling of Eleanor [...]

S’mores
Leil and I spent Saturday and Sunday at Camp Lyle McLeod. It was my first visit to this Girl Scout property, what a jewel. This is a picture of the girls getting their safety talk before hitting the lake. It was a chilly night but no rain, thank goodness! This was Leil’s [...]
Lemony Goodness
Jan’s lemon bar recipe. Paired with a cup of fresh ground coffee with cream they make an excellent breakfast.
My New Photography Studio
Inexpensive clamp lights from the hardware store. True light bulbs. Foam board left over from the science fair. Rationalization for a second camera.
Let’s Do It Again
A few people asked me what my next knitting project was going to be. Drum roll please…

Cameras & Curry

A Very Long Scarf
78″ of Chevron scarf from Last Minute Knitted Gifts to be exact. Here’s the details on the yarn I used. When fall gets here I’ll be ready!

Class Time
I taught my Colored Pencil Roll class at Esther’s on Saturday. What a delight to have two local bloggers from Seattle in attendance.
Carrie and Liane actually braved the Ferry on a sunny Saturday morning to get to Bainbridge Island. My third student, Maren, rounded out the enthusiastic group. Esther’s class space is [...]
Help Wanted
I feel like the tortoise these days, slow and steady. I’ve also been singing ‘put one foot in front of the other…’, a LOT. It actually works. I’d like to have 3 testers for my Note Taker Folio pattern. It’s based on the design I created for my Mom last year [...]
Organizing
Thanks for all the great recommendations on what to do with my PVC legs. I opted for the very simple solution of brown Krylon paint made especially for plastic. This stuff dries in an hour! Right up my alley. As soon as I was done I was looking around for anything plastic that [...]
