fall colors and covers
Still on the lookout for beautiful pumpkins. Easy enough as we get closer to the 31st, and so stunning on the right kind of blue sky day. It's a gray, soggy day here though. I know how much the folks in California would welcome this weather. Thinking of so many who lost their homes, their histories, their place in the world and hoping that the worst of this nightmare is past.
Blog-hopping around, I realized that my article in Cloth, Paper, Scissors is about to come out. You'll recognize the concept I think- and look up top in the right corner- an unexpected and totally wonderful surprise there. What a pleasure it was to work with the entire staff at the magazine- the nicest experience start to finish. I'm so looking forward to seeing a copy along with the work and articles of the other artists too.
My mother has gone home after a most delightful visit with us. I miss her- she's a fun one with a tale to tell about every day of her life- or mine. Staying busy with those deadlines and making Nicki's stew for a friend who is under the weather. (Where did that expression come from?) I do love the smell of something brewing-stewing in the kitchen. Listening to the sounds of the kids playing after-school football out there in the drizzly street, hmm, might just make a fire and get the basket of felt out. Simple pleasures we sometimes take for granted. Not today. Once again, I'm grateful for all. xoC
That is so exciting about your article, and the cover blurb!!
Great news! I will look for it for sure!
xo,
Melissa

Oh I'm planning on going to Joann's next week I'll be sure to pick up the magazine...how exciting for you! The stew recipe looks wonderful. I'm planning on making it tomorrow night- what a perfect fall, a bit dreary weather, meal. Regarding the fires I know we say oh it'll only things but some of our things define who we are. It's funny how it's the LITTLE things that may have no materail value at all that mean the most.
Best,
Kathy

Charlotte, I don't normally buy that magazine - but with your marvelous creations in it AND that article on 'Seven Recipes for RUST' well, I may just have to get this one!!! It looks fabulous!
(I actually already have three recipes for rust, but a girl can always use more....)

Thanks, I am looking forward to the new copy of Cloth, Paper, Scissors. I am fortunate enough to live nearby to the actual Publisher and store. I went in the other day and was awed with the number of books and publications dedicated to the art of paper and fabric design. I am glad that I stopped by so that I know to look for your article. Thanks, Karen

That's nice news about the article, Charlotte. I usually buy this magazine for Loretta Marvel's column in the back of each issue. Now I have two great reasons to purchase this issue!
I'm looking forward to it alot.
I like this magazine. It includes a different variety of things, and seems more original than some of the others that I've seen.
Best wishes!

How in the world did I miss that tiny treasure collage you did back in May? It's wonderful! I'm really looking forward to the feature in CPS now, thanks for the heads up AND the beautiful art!

How wonderful! Can't wait to get my little hands on it.

Don't know how I missed your article in this magazine...not like I've been busy or anything! :) Finally got to read yesterday while sitting in the car. Love it and now want to make my own 'leftover' art. Miss you already!
