We got an email this morning from Heather Ladick. Here’s what she said:

Details are wonderful!
I love digital photography. I’ve never been a great photographer, but my digital camera makes me look like I’m much more skilled than I am. I love being able to snap as many photos as I want to with no thought about how much film I might be wasting. I love being able to delete bad images – rather than trying to figure out what to do with bad prints that I paid money to have developed.

He’s really moving now!
Here is a new movie of my grandson, Jack, on the floor in my studio. I have the camera. You can hear Elanor who is sitting near me on the floor.
Road Warriors
My son, Christopher, is a big believer in bicycles. He rides as much as he can. In fact, his car spends more time sitting in the driveway than it does anywhere else. This is good and I’m proud of him for doing his part to cut down on emissions. Chris has even taught himself how to repair bikes and has set up a small bicycle shop in his garage. He buys used bikes, repairs them, and sells them. He has refurbished bikes for his wife, Lorna, and for Elanor.


Creativity is work!
A friend sent me a link to a video clip by Ira Glass (thanks, Nysha!). Ira Glass is the host of This American Life, a truly fine weekly radio show on NPR that I never miss.
Sunny Flowers in Bryan, TX
I taught the Sunny Flowers class yesterday to 22 lovely ladies from the Brazos Bluebonnet Quilt Guild in Bryan, TX. Anne Perry, the “blog mistress” and/or historian, asked my permission to take photographs of the class throughout the day to post on their guild’s blog. I said yes and she discretely took photos (and some videos, also with permission) throughout the day.
Ikea Curtains = Fabric!
I used to have folding doors that, when closed, separated my living room from the studio. In all of the 15 years we have lived in the this house, those doors have been closed maybe 20 times. It occurred to me during the remodel that it might look better with the doors down. It is better!
