A quick stitch. Scraps that I couldn’t toss! Everything counts. #stitch #slowstitch #wastenot

A new stitched piece. I used a variegated floss on hand dyed fabric that I purchased at Donde Clara in Mexico City.

I left watercolor 20 years ago to pursue casein, gouache, and then landed on encaustic. Encaustic has been my medium for 15+ years.

While I wait for my encaustic supplies I’m dabbling in watercolor. I’ll see where it goes. Small painting in process.

An embroidery in process this morning. For me it represents the beginning of my journey in Mexico City. The intertwining. #embroidery #fiberart #stitch #slowstitch

Visiting the home of Frida Kahlo will influence my decisions from now on. What a gift she has left us. Her passion, her collections, her joy in spite of pain and loss. Her home is an inspiration to us all. #FridaKahloMuseum #mexicocity

Our boy started life as a homeless kiddo searching for food in the dunes. Now he snoozes on the couch and gets three squares a day. It’s a life. #cats #tabby #orangetabby #catsofbluesky

Finished this morning! I’ve made about 50 pairs of socks and this is the worst kitchener I’ve ever done. Not a big deal -
my socks are never perfect because they are always done on the go. I wore them to the park today but quickly shed them. Warm out here! #knit #handknit #knitsocks #sockFO
