A good day.
Well, I'm still finishing off the roasted seaweed and mixing it with the breakfast cereal and coffee I bought today…. There's no law to say you can't eat cereal for dinner… (specially when you travel) After the events of yesterday I was a bit concerned what the day would bring today. I mentioned that I…
Seaweed, coffee and a health bar.
It's almost 10.00 pm and the heart has finally stopped racing. I'm dining on roasted seaweed, coffee and a health bar for dinner. The trip from Alamogordo to LAX went well. (sort of) The hostie was the interesting, I happended to be right at the front… it looked as if she was a puppet going…
Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe.
One of the most fascinating part of our trip was to the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe. Two of the exhibitions were outstandin, but I'm having a problem uploading photos so I did it in my gallery… We could have stayed there all day, but we only had 3 hours because we…
As I write this note I’m traveling down highway 380 from San Antonio to Carrizozo New Mexico.

I don't know a lot about Georgia O'Keefe, but she is rather an Icon here in New Mexico. It's interesting to walk in her shoes…
Inspiration and creating – 2
The wire image would be the background quilting on the quilt… sort of like large cross hatching but dark grey and it would look like the fence… it's a bit hard to draw on the computer. See the description of the design in the previous post
Inspiration and creating
I'm get inspiration from many sources and on this tour a have allowed myself the time to create images from the things I see. I've written them into the blog to inspire you to do the same. Yesterday Lisa and I traveled to Chimayo, we had searched the Internet and it seemed a place we…
Orbitz and Hilton Hotel.
I have difficulty putting photos up in the evening, the Internet is slow… but in the morning works a treat. So no blog tonight. We had the most amazing day today…. I took photos of over 300 items of textile….. YES, here in Santa Fe….!!!! I have to say after my last rant, I had…
