I decided to move my quilt studio back home. I had a list of reasons. My son decided to switch back to online school. I had an incompetent landlord. Who doesn't pay their heat bill? Did you know the cold weather rule doesn't apply to businesses? Wild. The cat is really happy about the change...

I think this is just the state of things as an artist. Was I recently looking at mini kiln prices? Yep. Do I have everything I need to start watercolor painting? Indeed. I have an untouched water marbling kit. Some of this maybe tangentially has something to do with quilting ...

That joy you feel when someone else has to deal with your child for a while continues into the teen years. Dropped the teenager off at robotics. He saw an adult that runs it and immediately has a million words to tell him, instead of me, who gets four hours of peace.

lol Fat Mike being my therapist would be a drunk trip. My husband surprised me with backstage/on stage tickets to see NOFX on their final tour. My therapist walking around drinking straight Tito's vodka... I was so touched I even got hit by a shoe. So long and thanks for all the shoes indeed.

I've been playing around with natural ice dyeing. I haven't completely nailed down a process yet, but it's been fun figuring it out. Someday I'll have an explainer. Pictured here is a habotai silk scarf in pink and green. www.mybitofwonder.com/listing/1830...
