Colorado in August

I returned from Michigan with a few days to spare before going to see my friend Deb in Colorado. We made our base in Breckenridge. I can tell I’m getting old! There is a huge difference in 8000 and 10,500 feet. We lived in Aspen for 6 years at 8000 feet and after a couple […]

Michigan visit in July

I’m trying to catch up on my writing about trips earlier this year. After my clay workshop in Doylestown I drove to Michigan to join my sisters at the church we grew up in for their 150th anniversary. I was glad I made the effort to get there. I saw lots of art, birds, family, […]

Clay Workshop Part 2

The clay workshop with Lisa Naples was very inspiring. I choose a rabbit as my piece for the week. I also learned as much from watching others as I did from working on my own piece. I hadn’t realized how tall and big it was reasonable to build with coils, I always tried, and struggled, […]

Pennsylvania & Clay Workshop Part 1

On my way to my clay workshop with Lisa Naples I took at a couple extra days to do some sightseeing. I had been to the Brandywine River Museum, YEARS ago. So long ago that you could still see all the front of the mill building. Now it’s so grown up you can just see […]

Road Trip The Cotswolds a garden tour part 1

What a treat to join 7 others on a tour of some of the gardens and private homes of the Cotswolds. They have a charity program called the National Garden Scheme where gardens all over the country are open, with all income donated to charity. Generally these are private gardens and this is the only […]

Why I blog

I recently switched my blog from blogger to wordpress – and you might ask why blog at all? When I owned Carolina Creations it was to keep customers informed of our upcoming events, what our artists were creating, what I was doing with my art, and I threw in some personal things as well. I […]

Road Trip Brussels Gent Luxembourg Maastricht Trier Bastonge then home

The last in a series of posts about my recent trip to Amsterdam and Belgium.

Road Trip Bruges

Of all the beautiful places we visited in the Netherlands and Belgium, Bruges was my favorite. Belgium was never on my radar but I think I will have to return. I loved the scale of Bruges and it has lots of canals and old architecture. The first fortifications were built in the 1st century BC, […]
