In addition to slogging through Michener's The Source for my book club meeting in 6 days, I've also been reading Lauren F. Winner's Still: Notes on a Mid-Faith Crisis. For a traditional review, see this post on my theology blog. In today's post here, I want to consider the memoir as linked short sto ...

Came to me one night awhile back. Maybe I was really tired. For whatever reason, it struck me so much I just had to write it down and share it. Here we go: Zero is a concept that use to not exist. After all, if there wasn’t anything of something, why bother to count it? Then someone came along and s ...

I’m resting my novel right now. That means that I’ve essentially stuck it in a virtual drawer so I can give my brain a rest. By doing this, I will be able to look at the work with fresh eyes before I start yet another revision. I know, you are saying to yourself, just how many revisions does this pu ...

With a hint like that…you doubtless will stand up and shout…”I know what it is!!!!!” Or…you will just look at it and shake your head sadly…a ...

I've been thinking a lot about time in general. On my theology blog this morning, I wrote this post that talked about the difference between Kairos time and Chronos time: "The world moves rather rigidly on Chronos time. We march forward to the incessant beat of the clock. Kairos time talks about the ...

I’m really enjoying this rug so far and the colours I chose…interesting to work with!!! (At least for me!!) LOL When deciding to do this (instead of the rug I was going to do) I immediately thought of the wool I had for the background…a plaid that is kinda “wishy-washy” (!!!) but I think will do wha ...

Do you have unconditional love for your creation? Do you believe that loving your art without criticism is a good or a bad thing? Too often, I believe we are our own worst critic. We see the flaws in our art because we are so close to it. We don’t feel we can sell our art because we don’t believe it ...

Sometimes I am asked about rugs that I have hooked in the past…and I know that those who have visited my Blog for years will remember this! I posted this photo today because this rug, called the “Bradley Primitive” is a great pattern for those of you wanting to do larger, primitive designs. It comes ...

This rug is 19 x 28 inches and is done almost entirely in #8 cut…except for the odds and ends of woolworms I u ...
