Do yourself a favor and try this experiment today; look for SOMETHING beautiful in the physicality of every person you see today. Hair, eyes, grace of movement, smile, finger length – look for the beauty and you’ll see it!

Designers Block?
I have to trust myself, my notes, and my ability to revisit a good idea later when it really resonates with a current design problem.
I Should Get A Tattoo Of This One
Saturday, July 2, 2011 By Rick Levine Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22) You are determined to maintain your integrity now by doing exactly what you promise, but distractions and obstructions continue to alter your course. You may be excited to head in an unknown direction, but you are on a mission and every setback…
Queen Midas
The knitting I love. The explaining what and how I’m doing in such a way that other folks can recreate what I’ve done, that’s so hard that my head hurts and sometimes I hate it.
So my task right now is to find a way to LOVE the hard parts, the parts that don’t come naturally, the parts that take a little time.

In Math We Trust
When making a felted bag or even a felted hat, often you just jump in, knit it up (real big!), toss it in the washer and take your chances. However, fulling – felting – a larger garment that is suppose to FIT A HUMAN BODY after everything is said and done, involves a leap of faith. And Math.

October will mark an extended period of HOME TIME, and October will be pattern writing month. My current mental preparation before the onset of “Worksheet Wonderland” are like those initial folds in an origami project. (And it allows me to rationalize the time I’ve spent playing sudoku.)
Back on Track, Baby!
But I’m going to get even more serious about keeping my working files on some kind of cloud system so I won’t be completely stymied if I lose the use of my hard drive (or lose my computer, heaven forbid!) I’ll be using google docs more for the kind of work it’s good for, box.net for sharing files, more stuff like that.
Collar Love
Theoretically I knew what I needed to do. I needed to make a rectangle with a curved top above it.
