Two silly links for you this week (oh so refreshing after election intensity): baby otter finding its element and a possum eating a strawberry.

And some dynamic quilts : textile artist Pat Pauly.
Have a great weekend everyone!!
After a long spell of trauma, rain, wind, snow, hail, train delays, and constant complaining – that possum is just what I needed to set things straight! What a happy face. Thank you!
that paper bowl looks like a gathering of leaves…love it. and those videos were just great.
Ginny – do you have power yet?!! this latest storm didn’t do you any favors, did it?!! hang in there, and yes, that possum makes me laugh every time… I feel like a scrapbookin’ corny Mom when I send it to C. away at college… glad you enjoyed it.
hi deanna – a ‘gathering of leaves’ – I like that.
Hi Dee! Yes, we were out of power for a week during Sandy, it flickered some during the nor’easter and has been a real pain with the commuting to NYC but overall it is just tiring for us. We have had it easy compared to some. The coast is a disaster. I kept thinking of that Katrina quilt and what the Sandy one might look like.
Love the paper bowls, and the shield! =D
don’t think I’ve ever seen a possum before, those fingers! and the cute baby otter, oh my.
those fire place tiles are they Dutch? they sure look like old ones.
beautiful fabrics and paper bowls; cannot wait to see the bird-being come te life; am working on one of my own……..
