Hello there! I'm Sister Diane and I have two grand passions: making crafts and making media. That's what I write about here, and sometimes, I get all thoughtful about internet culture and creative small businesses. Thanks for stopping by! Would you like some tea?

 In the OMG, OMG, OMG Department, my grandmother recently sent me a box of buttons. Some are from her stash, and some are from my great great grandmother’s stash. Yes, I pretty much was freaking out. I still have a lot of sorting and photographing to do, but here are a few early highlights! I … Read On! There’s More!  Taking a break from the repetitive process of preparing my taxes to share a couple of repetitive crafty things I’ve been working on lately. I’m making a large number of Kanzashi flower magnets for my publisher to use in marketing my upcoming book. Many more of these in my future…. And then, here’s a magazine reed … Read On! There’s More!  Busy busy over here this week! Here are some recent events: I scored these beautiful handmade buttons over at Lisa’s shop. She’s amazing with polymer clay. Writes a dang fine blog, too. It’s also Nephew Birthday Season, so K. and I are hard at work on the construction of a puppet theater. More on this later! And … Read On! There’s More!  Well – it was a belated Christmas, but it certainly was a lovely one after all. I had so many wonderful gifties from creative friends. Wanted to share the awesomeness. Above there are gourd bowls that Bridget brought from her trip to Oaxaca. I’m amazed by the intricacy of the carvings. Bridget says that the … Read On! There’s More!  Here’s wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! It can’t be said enough: I’m so grateful to you for reading this blog, and leaving comments, and being such an awesome community of like-minded souls. I’m so looking forward to more communal creating in 2009! I’m going to take a few days off … Read On! There’s More!  Mixed feelings these days. . . On the one hand, the 14 inches of snow currently blanketing Portland is lovely. If you like, you can see some winter splendor from our neighborhood over here. On the other hand, I’ve been mostly housebound for just over a week, and this is starting to have bad effects … Read On! There’s More!  Happy Solstice, everyone! Portland continues to be buried under an ever-thickening blanket of snow. Although today, apparently, we’ll break the monotony with an ice storm. Anyway, last night, as we were turning out lights at bedtime, K. and I noticed how pretty this scene looked, and busted out the tripod to capture it. Our deck is … Read On! There’s More!  All these pictures are by K., who did a bang-up job of documenting our adventures. We had such a great time yesterday riding the Holiday Express. I wish I’d blogged about this sooner, so you locals could have checked it out. (It’s running today in the snow, btw.) Put it on your calendars for next … Read On! There’s More!  I just couldn’t resist sharing this with you. I’m over here proofing my book. I turned around to look something up online and email my editor. Turned back around and found Pushkin settled in on top of my proofs, enjoying a nice, literary nap. . . . A signal from the universe to take a … Read On! There’s More!  Hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving! We’re enjoying ourselves mightily over here. This was the uber-nerdy way I watched the traditional Macy’s parade yesterday morning – with windows on three different parade webcams, and a window watching parade hashtags on Twitter. (You saw the live Rickroll, right?) We enjoyed the rare experience of a … Read On! There’s More! |
