shopkeeping





Always one for illicit activity..
I'm peddling cloth again. You know who you are and you know you want it.

Go thaw your credit cards out of the ice cube tray.

Fat Baggies are back.

He's landed!



Charlie James Lacativa came to us last night, a little early, but he and mom Missy are both doing well.

For 3.5 weeks early, he's a nice six pounds, four ounces and twenty inches long.  To me he looks just like Jake did the day after he was born.

Jimmy would be, is, so very proud of Jake & Missy and just loving this baby.

baby day....

This seemed like a lifetime ago and, in a way, I guess it was.

A few weeks short of nine months, my first grandson will be hurried into the world sometime in the next whirl around the sun.

Spontaneous colors




There's been a pile of cloth crusty with soda ash sitting on the deck for a few weeks.

Who knew that the soda ash would eat holes in the aluminum tub?

It was in the mid eighties by ten this morning so I pulled the colors out of hiding and called the dyefest to order.


I'm going to leave this lot out in the sun for the next day or so. A lot of other things are pressing...updates as they happen.

life's wheel

The Vigil Cloth   2013
Seth Says 2013


A friend I've never met is facing the end of her journey here.

A child I've yet to meet is getting ready to join life's party.


It's all so full that for once in my life I am without the right words and will just remain on full receive and pay close attention for the duration.
