urban sunset

Powerlines can be perceived as a liability, or you can just run with it.

One day during a recent spell of sunny but unpleasantly cold weather, I bundled up and wandered down to the Bellingham waterfront with my camera. The old Georgia Pacific paper mill site is not particularly attractive, but the vast expanse of pavement creates some interesting puddles, and I love the glimpse of the shining bayContinue reading “puddles”

weaving news

I have a new venue for my handwoven scarves! I’ll still have some for sale at my studio and through my Etsy store, but you can now find a selection of unique, handmade scarves in different lengths and materials at The Shop in Conway, which has a great selection of local arts and crafts, fromContinue reading “weaving news”

kitten!

Look, some pictures of our new kitten! She hardly ever holds still unless she’s asleep, which makes for tricky photography. And a lot of pictures of sleeping kittens. And while I have your attention, I just wanted to let you know that I will be open for the downtown Bellingham artwalk this Friday, but notContinue reading “kitten!”

signs of spring

I always love this moment in mid-January when it starts to feel like spring. Never mind that we will certainly have five more months of gray, rainy weather; there are hellebores and cyclamen and violets and snowdrops and sweet box and witch hazel and the first shoots of daffodils! Every year I have to goContinue reading “signs of spring”

think warm

Ugh, it’s cold and blustery out. The power is flickering and there’s a chance of thunderstorms with occasional hail. Now is a good time to pull out a few pictures of warmer places from earlier this year.

winter skies

Happy New Year! Don’t forget that tonight is the downtown Bellingham artwalk, and I’ll be at my studio from 6pm until around 9. Stop by, say hi, get your picture taken! We went to my folks’ house for Christmas and I took advantage of the clear skies and not-too-horribly-freezing weather to try out some starContinue reading “winter skies”

lake view

My studio is a half hour drive from my house, so to amuse myself I’ve been checking out alternate routes. One of these takes me along the shore of Lake Samish, and there’s a boat launch area with a nice view across the water. There’s often nice little misty clouds around here, too. I’m lookingContinue reading “lake view”

in memoriam

Yesterday we lost our little gray girly cat, Stella Luna Andrews. We got her in 1997 in Ellensburg. Her mother, a Siamese named Esmerelda, had been rescued from a house during a police raid, and a coworker of mine who did animal rescue saved us a kitten. We got Griffin at the same time, andContinue reading “in memoriam”

slough view

Just a glimpse onto Edison Slough from the back courtyard of Slough Food a couple of weeks ago. It was a raw day, damp and blustery, but the light was beautiful.
