SEATTLE — “Home Prices Bring Smiles, Tears.” “Anti-Homeless Attacks Won’t Solve Problem.” When I saw these headlines running across the Seattle Times and Seattle Weekly newspapers earlier this month, a single sentence flashed through my mind, on repeat: “Housing is a human right.”
As kids, we enjoyed all sorts of fun hobbies. Somehow, back in the day, no matter how much homework we got, we still managed to do all this other cool stuff. But even if you are very busy as an adult, you should definitely find some new hobbies to try and attempt fitting them into your schedule. These hobbies don’t even have to be something complicated or time-consuming. There are tons of easy hobbies to pick up out there, and so everyone can find something to their taste.

Two more days left. Yes that's right my American friends. We STILL have two days left of school until summer break. I love being outside with the kids as much as I can at this time of year, so I made up a game to get us out there on the sunny days! RHYTHM SQUARES Using a four square grid in the playground, I drew different 4-beat rhythm in each square. The class was split into two teams and made two lines, lining up one behind the other about ten feet away from the rhythm squares. Once we started, I clapped one of the four rhythms. The first person from each team had to find the rhythm and step on that rhythm square first in order to get a point. Both players went to the back of their respective lines and the next two people faced off. After each student had a turn, the game was finished and the team with the most points won! It was so fun and the kids LOVED it! Thanks to my student O*** for coming up with the name of the game!

Registration is now open I've always thought about how life can be likened to a road, it has straight stretches, but more often than not it also has many winding corners and mountain ranges. As we travel along our road, we also make many stops. Maybe it's to raise children, maybe it's marriage, separation or death. But, no matter what the road is like, we are often blessed to find some fabulous friends along the way, and some wonderful places. I wanted to make a wall hanging that reflected that in a quirky kind of way. This quilt reflects for me the road taken to my house and I would love for you to join me in this journey. The road to my house Make a delightful quilted wall hanging with me. This quilt will be unique and personal to you as it narrates the story of the road to your house. Celebrate your very own journey. Together we will use our sewing machines for some free motion stitching and a little hand stitching to add depth. Add a smattering of teabags, some vintage linen, an assortment of special treasures from your sewing room to embellish and you will have a wall hanging that's very individual and incredible. I will be there every step of the journey to advise you and guide you. Make your wall hanging the same size as mine or make it smaller. As we work together you can follow my directions and explore ideas generated in the workshop or you can be adventurous and put your own spin on your project, whichever road you take, remember, it’ll lead to your house. Play with fabric, step away from the burden of producing 'perfect' all the time. The quirkiness that you lend to this wall hanging will make it unique and a stunning piece of art. This workshop includes recycled new and vintage materials and will allow you to include as much or as little detail as you want to in the embellishing. All stitches are easy and I will help you if you get stuck with easy to follow directions, photos and videos. Work on this project at your own leisure, the wee stitcheries lend themselves to being popped into your purse and taken with you. Finish the hand stitching while you wait for the children, or at home while you watch tv. The class blog will remain open for an unlimited time. COST: $US55.00 START DATE: 11th September 2011 Join me for loads of fun in my brand new class as we share our journeys with each other. Feel free to take my class button above for your blog. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, I am always only an email away.

Mayor Bill de Blasio caused quite a stir around New York City yesterday as he floated the idea of tearing up the pedestrian plaza in Times Square. This statement was the culmination of several days of debate centered around predatory panhandling and the square’s growing number of “street performers.”

Coney Island was a break from reality for millions since exploding into the American culture at the back end of the 19th century. Seduced by fantasy, decades of visionaries elbow to elbow with the masses,were mastering the moment. Some cast indelible impressions. Artists like Reginald Marsh, Milton Avery, and Red Grooms; filmmakers such as Woody Allen and Paul Mazursky; writers from Walt Whitman to Henry Miller; Beat poets and musicians were collectively transfixed and transformed.
