“Mounted over canvas” As per recent quilt-blogger discussions about how to mount certain fiber art pieces: Mary over at Zippy Quilts posted a callout for suggestions on how best to display a ‘map’ quilt she recently completed. The overriding consensus suggested mounting it over canvas. About two years ago, I experimented with this technique. During […]

A sight for sore eyes, no? Thank you, Annika for giving me permission to share this as part of my little oasis offering to my readers – not that any of it will actually cool us down or offer any solutions to the state of our Global Warming Reality…but, well, we’re all entitled to a break. […]

What a fantastic way to send flowers long distance! I received this ‘Bouquet in a Book’ in the snail mail a few days after my foot surgery from my blogger sista & co-honorary Manc bud, L.Marie. Totally unexpected. Thoughtful. And fun. Just like she is 🙂 I’m sharing my ‘adult’ pop-up book bouquet with all […]

just dropping By to say Hi

Okay-Okay, I’m still on my blogging break, but what say you to a quick hello? Perhaps a bulleted update will suffice: Our 2003 Toyota Camry reached 400K on hubby’s 64th birthday at mile marker 64 on I10W about 40 miles south of El Paso, TX while we were driving on our way to CA from […]

Sixty Pho' part two

laura bruno lilly — Mon, 10 Dec 2018 12:43:00 +0000

Back to that postcard…not only did the poster quote aspect of the card resonate with my style sensibilities but it triggered a punny approach in recounting a recent milestone event in my life (as reflected in the post title). Can you guess, yet, what that might be? Hint: keep in mind the correct pronunciation of […]

Quote – On Sorrow, by myself

laura bruno lilly — Sat, 13 Jan 2018 00:55:35 +0000

Been a bit under the weather lately. As I ‘get better’, I find myself perusing all sorts of Youtube tutorials on my fav sidekick instrument – the UKE. And am having fun exploring musical paths yet uncharted. I’ve been immersed in musical possibilities and realized that that door had been closed and re-opened without my […]
