A wintry windy day but I’m happy listening to the steady soft chugging of my Bernina. When it clangs like the other day,it’s time for a lube job. It’s warm and comforting with the fire on one side and Sheba on the other. I can’t ask for anything more. #sewing #bernina #fireside #sheba #taleswithfriendsMy blind date from the library. Hope it is good. I hate taking chances. 😀 #reading #blinddate #chances #taleswithfriendsShadows and light. The yin and the yang. You can’t have one without the other. #shadowsandlight #yinandyang #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsWorking on embellishments on the border. It’s learning as I go on how to keep it smooth and flat. Sometimes I resort to pulling and stretching. Definitely should have pinned each square to start with. But how was I to know before what I should have done? #tablecloth #border #embellishments #shouldhave #makingitwork #taleswithfriendsWe’re up and moving. Making bread. #upandmoving #breadmaking #taleswithfriendsGood morning. We are comfortable as we are. We will move - eventually. #morning #comfortable #sheba #taleswithfriendsStir fry eggplant with mushrooms. Garlic, ginger, a dash of chili pepper. Faking it. No recipe. #stirfry #eggplant #mushrooms #spices #norecipe #taleswithfriendsOur afternoon walk. Sunshine and snow. How could you ask for more? #afternoonwalk #sunshine #snow #taleswithfriendsEmbellishing the tablecloth border. It’s going to look better than I had hope for. I wish I could be more careful. Fabric bunches up and I’m stitching too many layers. Then it’s like hours of ripping. 😬 #tablecloth #border #embellishments #fancystitches #taleswithfriendsDim sum with mom and sis. Mom and I were posing for the first pic. Better when we’re not even though mom was chewing. 😀 Love those chicken feet and egg tarts. #dimsum #mom #sister #taleswithfriends

KABBALAH – THE TREE OF LIFE
It’s after 5 in the afternoon. I am sitting and tapping amid all the clutter on my desk. Feeling the fullness of the day. I am tired. I did say after seeding my mother’s and mine petunias and some chili … Continue reading

BREATHING AND WRITING
Life and writing are akin to me at times. I struggle to get a letter on the page and taking a deep breath is difficult at times. If I don’t try, the page remains blank, empty of the stories hidden … Continue reading
STORYTELLING IN THE DESERT
There are many stories in the desert. Won’t you take a seat and have a listen? I come from a culture rich in superstition and ancestory whorship. We honour and worship the deities and ancestors by laying out food and … Continue reading

THE CHILL OF OUR DESERT
It’s a bit cold here in our desert but we are soothed by its stillness and quietness. Our hearts are gladdened by the brillance of the sun. It beckons Sheba and I out the door and down that yellow brick … Continue reading

ALL THAT I DO

LEST I BE MISUNDERSTOOD
Through this period of Lent I have been putting an effort to keep my own council. It is not an easy thing for I am a talker and I tend to speak my mind. Speaking my mind hasn’t really worked … Continue reading
