I had overnight at my sister's house last week while her beau was out of town. Here's a glimpse into her incredible world.

trimmings and patterns

Some fine rickrack and sewing patterns.

Side note: Last spring, I contributed some of my collections to a new and fine periodical by O.K. Parking based on their blog O.K. BLOG. The magazine's first 'theme' was O.K. Collections——it's grand a collection of collections.

northeast mpls

We visited Tim's old studio building in Northeast Minneapolis--he had a huge and lovely space to paint in for a number of years——both of us still have a crush on the building and studio and view.

The weather continues to be outrageously cold but snowpants, furry hats and proper attire do make it manageable. Both of our cars are kaputt so we've been walking which is rather refreshing. Feeling a bit dreary about my imminent obligations although the sun has been shining bright.
