My first boyfriend was from Turkey. He taught me how to read the fine grinds from an inverted Turkish coffee cup, which settle at the bottom and then you flip the whole cup over into the saucer and let your future “brew” for awhile before picking the cup up to begin reading. I saw this similar looking drip in my pot of chaga hot chocolate and was intrigued... CLICK on the hashtag to see what I mean! #turkishcoffeereading

Two nights ago I made new pillow cases (the orange ones) at record-breaking speed. I think they were done in 20 minutes! I was so tired of having to shove my pillows back into the too-short pillow cases they were always sliding out of. Plus I actually bought this fabric a long time ago for the purpose of making new bedding. I’m all about saving fabric now so I actually used the selvedge along the open ends and therefore didn’t need to hem. NOTE: @thecompanystore flannel bedding is terrible!! Requested it for Christmas last year and it pilled instantly. Took out the fitted sheet to wash and it was practically shredded at the feet. I have old German-made flannel that is almost 8-years old and still holding up better. Should have saved the money for that... Never mind, once I eventually make my new mattress I’m making an entire set of new bedding with the rest of this lovely cotton fabric (in different colors).

Ta-da! 2018 is wrapping up. I’m grateful for many things but especially for both of my jobs (teaching and illustrating) that allow me to make beautiful artwork with and for children. Here’s to hopefully a better a year with more changes for the good and more bearable news. Start with yourself and move forward from there...

Our artistic dialogue between poetry and painting (from 6 years ago) is now published on Terrain.org. Link in bio.
