Thanks for all the compliments on the Lyn Mizono dress yesterday. Steph's comment about still cameras versus video cameras was quite interesting. I'll aim to get a video of me wearing - and walking in...

One of Pink, Two of Blue, Three of Black
When I decided to go back to Ashland, I mentally wrote a lengthy list of garments to sew before leaving. Obviously, it was too long. I'll be lucky if I get three pieces finished although one is done...

The vest didn't get finished yesterday so I've been busily pinning and stitching this morning and it's done - or at least done enough to show some pictures. I still want to neaten a few things. It...

A Hundred Miles From Medford
Medford is the last city before you turn off the I5 and head toward Ashland. The strangest thing happened when a hundred miles from Medford. The last time I drove down here, I didn't see even one...
