"I started photographing my domestic world and writing not just about what I had made,
but why I made it, examining the thoughts that accompany creativity and the act of making."
Jane Brocket from The Gentle Art of Domesticity p. 189 UK edition

Basket Making Here and There



Haley, Molly, Rose hiding and Joy (not looking very joyful :)


Mt. Shasta, CA

A winery in Napa Valley, CA

My nephew and niece visiting from CA came with me to Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood for brunch.

On top of the mountain the clouds were trying to blow away...but below in the valley it did not look hopeful.

It was was cold near the top of Mt. Hood!  The fire provided welcome warmth.

There were interesting historic displays.

Meredith, I am wondering if you want one of these :)

Can you see Mt. Hood behind my niece and nephew?  We could not.  Sigh.....

Many posts ago I started crocheting a cotton basket, and for the last few weeks I have been dragging it around wherever I have gone. I am finally working on the bottom panel of the basket.  It is such easy single crochet I can not believe I have not finished it yet!

My oldest daughter, my four little granddaughters, and I dashed down to CA to visit friends for a few days.  We had a wonderful time, but I took few photos...too busy talking and gawking :)

Then my nephew and niece from CA came up for a few days to visit.  The weather wasn't as sunny as it has been lately, but we had a great visit, attended several Eastern Orthodox church services, and had a lovely brunch at Timberline Lodge near the top of Mt. Hood.

On Father's Day my oldest son-in-law ended up in the hospital for a bit due to an inner ear problem that is causing him to be very dizzy.  He was getting ready to go out for a meal with his dad and mom to celebrate Father's Day but ended up riding in an ambulance to the hospital after a 911 call was made.  He is home with meds, but still very dizzy :(

In between all the above, I have been swimming with Teresa as often as possible, doing a little gardening, reading about the Eastern Orthodox Church and attending services here and there.  Life is full and mostly happy.

Are you happily or unhappily making anything here and there?
