I began the day with good intention, plans were changed for a meeting at the last minute and it sort of threw me a bit. OK, suck it up sunshine, I wanted to achieve a lot today, but I got sidetracked and washed the bathroom mats and did some cooking. (not my favourite thing) I…

Working in my Studio.
After months on the road and preparing for tours again in 10 days time, it’s time for a revision on the food one puts into the body. So a list has been written and I’ll send the hubby to the supermarket. I begin the revision well, but sometimes it just lasts a few days… maybe…
It’s time to go home – Teaching and Traveling.

Just a few more images from the blue and white exhibition ‘Sapphire Celebration” at the International Quilt Market and Festival. Houston.
