 I have admittedly been obsessed with the presidential race these last few weeks, leaving a lot by the wayside as I held my breath, just waiting ...

Now, as the clock ticks down and the electoral votes add up, I start to remember the events that shaped my political and social views so much, 40 years ago at 15.  I remember watching the TV, transfixed at the scenes played out during the '68 Democratic Convention, seeing the anti-war protesters that I identified with being beaten by the police as they demonstrated in a park in Chicago, the wave of voices that  echoed time and time again, "The whole world is watching!"

Now, all these years gone by, I watch people filling up that same park in hope and optimism, a sea of faces of every shape and color, united in the desire to start a new leaf in our country, and I hope and pray that the whole world is now watching, once again, and knows that change is in the wind....

Writing Again!

Well, the muse seems to have finally returned from whatever deep, dark hole she has spent the last two years hiding in.  A few months go, she started to show her presence  with 2 not yet posted vignettes, but this week she has not only arrived with a full-blown story, but also, for the 1st time, she is having me illustrate it as well.  In the distant past, I had done this with poems, but never  before  with a story of my own, though I had illustrated for  many others over the course of the years. We'll have to see how this will work!

So, hopefully something will be up here shortly!

DSCN1233.JPGWell here it is, finished but for snipping of threads and a few hooks and eyes!  Hopefully alterations will be at a minimum so that I can move on to other projects! DSCN1216.JPG

What am I doing now?

I wish I was finishing the two short stories I have sitting here, but instead I'm trying to finish up a dress for my youngest sister to wear when she and her husband head out to Gettysburg for a big memorial weekend this fall.  The pattern, which I cut as a 24 to be able to tailor to fit, was more like a 14 when put together, causing much hair pulling until I ending up ripping it apart, and having to make an additional pattern piece myself so that it would fit.    This all needs to be done before I see her on the 23rd of this month, so all my time is going there right now, and not into writing or finishing my long promised illo for Caz! But I promise to post soon! 

So that's the story of my life right now.  Along with work.  And the only sports I ever bother to watch, the Olympics.  (Living just outside of Baltimore, it's "All Michael Phelps, All the Time!" LOL!) 

Now, I want to know if anyone else had problem with this site losing it's settings?  I worked on getting the page the way I liked on Sunday, only to go here today and it dissapeared.  Had to change the settings all over again, so who knows what it will look like as you see it!

Hi Mary. I think the site is growing by the day and so has a few teething problems. I didn't have any difficulty with my settings but I do have a couple of pics on my Karracaz's Kabin that won't load. It tells me there's an error in the code. LOL! Which is gobbledegook to me.

Celtic, Early Music, some World Music

LOTR, Sweeney Todd, The Haunting (original), Beauty and the Beast (Cocteau's version), Resurrection (original version)
