This is a photograph that I made last summer of Jesse jumping rope. This photo makes me look forward to those hot, sweet, free days of summer.

Another self-portrait - a reflection in the tile in our kitchen. I intend for my expression in this photograph to be contemplative, or reflective, rather than angry. I hope it doesn't come off that way!


This is my latest rug. I finished it about a week ago. This one is only 12" wide. It was nice to do a smaller project - one that I could complete in a couple of weeks. This could've been a halloween-themed rug, but I wanted to use colors that would allow it to be used year-round.

I thought I'd post some photos of my rug-hooking projects. So far I've made 3 rugs. This one was my second rug and it took me a loooong time to complete. It was a pretty big project - it is 25" x 32".
