Can’t I Do Anything Without Signing In? and LET’S GET PREPARED!

FEMA’s disaster preparedness campaign, had lit a fire under me [which would ironically, pose a disastrous threat to my safety, if taken literally.] Clothes igniting, as I ran around screaming, “I’m on fire, I’m on fire!” Those flames under my backside have lit a fire.” One pass too close to my drapes and the entire house
could go. Disturbing. I immediately downloaded the FEMA disaster readiness supply list

The Pigs Are Flying!

The Pigs Are Flying!! I have finally finished the long promised, illusive website which I have spoken of endlessly for months. Any second it would go live. But I realized finally the hopelessness of my quest. I lacked the most basic knowledge and skill needed. The advert for this template site was “Anyone could build a website in an afternoon”. “I’m an anyone, so why not?” I thought. Because no one counted on this anyone as so hopelessly beyond the simplest skills which even a 4 year old child possesses. Months and months have passed. Finally with endless hours of tech support, a miracle! The Pigs Are Flying!

I feel like a pendulent 4 year old. I want a Oompa Loompa!

In the movie, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory there was one particularity lovely child, you might recall, the adored Varuca Salt.Veruca knew what she wanted and she wanted it NOW!! I have to tell you I’ve felt a little Veruca-ish lately. The elusive website I’ve been working on for months was supposed to take one afternoon.

That’s a Wrap, Hollyhocks and Ladybugs

Barbara Harms Fiber Art red holly hocks art quilt

This is a floral art quilt, but I wanted to add a contemporary spin, a little non traditional. So I chose to give the flowers and stalks a disproportional profile. As my husband observed , it would be how the world might look to a little bug as he looked up at the huge world. hat’s a Wrap http://wp.me/pZYTG-3ar Here is the contemporary art quilt I’ve been working on

An new owner of one of my art quilts found an interesting benefit in hanging fiber art.
An art quilt could add a level of comfort, I can see how it would feel more like home and less like an office. When she mentioned it, I thought of how comforting it was as a child, being wrapped in Grandma’s quilt. It would also block out the sounds of a noisy city, much more relaxing.
