My favorite Rose of Sharon trees are in full bloom now. The wonder of these blooms is that once they peak they throw themselves to the ground as if in complete abandon. Wrinkly and paper thin they look like ancient tissues of the sky.

Regarding the continuing dialog on art versus craft?

Came into the studio after a battle with roaches this morning. Seems they decided to invade the basement. No worries though, they were not German roaches (the hardest to fight) but brown-banded roaches who normally live outside. Seems these 2 guys had lost their way.
Upon entering the studio the sun streaked across the Center and Chaos piece and reminded me to breathe. Breathe. Breathe.

My quilt, Decision Points, was chosen for display on the online literary site, Rose & Thorn Journal. Take a moment to read some wonderful poetry and prose when you visit the new art gallery feature on their site.
I would love to see lots of fiber artists apply to them for this honor.
We harvested some of our first tomatoes on Sunday. That large one on the left is called a Mortgage Lifter (named by the farmer who developed the breed who claimed that they saved him from losing his farm) and the two smaller ones are delicious Cherokee Purples. Had to laugh at the guy in the front though. It has a cupie-doll insolence that delights.
