Today is one of those days I'm glad I'm a Californian. π Sunny, not cold, & my tough little daffodils are in bloom. In the middle of the path. #metaphors #artistlife #winterinca

NYE means going up-Valley for olive oil and Italian groceries from Napa Valley Olive Oil Mfg Co (aka "The Guidis"), & burgers at Taylors. It used to include stopping at wineries, but they've gotten too crowded, snobbish, & expen$ive for this artist. #artistlife #winecountry #winterinca
When it comes to holiday cooking, anything worth doing is worth overdoing. Six quarts of Chex Mix? Well, yeah! π #winterinca #artistlife #yesicancooktoo
Cold & blustery outside, warm & bright inside. #Spinning at the NY2CA Gallery in Benicia. #weaving #fiberarts #artistlife #winterinca
A nice surprise: The NY2CA Gallery needs more inventory. Taking 7 more Farm House Kitchen Towels & 2 more Bakers' Bags over this morning, so they will have more "sheep" this afternoon. Then it's back to baking cookies for Friday. #weaving #fiberarts #artistlife #winterinca
The tray of cookies for tonight's party--the first of 3 in the next 4 1/2 days. The towel underneath is a "LetterZed" of green & brown 8/2 cotton. #weaving #fiberarts #artistlife #winterinca #yesicancooktoo #ioof
It's Mad Hatter Time! Downtown Vallejo shows its festive side with one of the most whimsical holiday festivals and parades on the West Coast. We'll be at San Pablo Hall, 342 Georgia Street, from 10am to 7pm today. #weaving #fiberarts #winterinca #downtownVallejo
AD TIME: As part of Benicia's "First Fridays on First" Holiday Open House & Tree Lighting, I'll be performing on the Louet Victoria spinning wheel at NY2CA Gallery, 617 First Street, from 6-9 pm. Come by and say "Hi!" #weaving #fiberarts #winterinca #artistlife
Eleven days later, the gingko has turned a brilliant gold. Is it any surprise I love Northern California? #winterinca #tinystudio
Sign of a good recipe: the page is messy & annotated. Award-winning banana-walnut bread from my grandmother's 1944 Women's Home Companion Cookbook. #winterinca #artistlife #yesIcancooktoo
Rows of different Christmas cookies on a handwoven kitchen towel in a square wicker basket.
At this time of year, #weaving takes a back seat to baking lots and lots of Christmas cookies. I usually bake 6-8 different kinds so I can put together "cookie baskets" for holiday potlucks and parties. #winterinca #artistlife #yesIcancooktoo
The outdoor lights are up & the house smells like baking Chex Mix. This makes me happy. π #winterinca #holidaycooking #comfortfoods
View from the studio this morning. The big question now: Will the ginkgo turn gold before the sweet gums shed their leaves? Stay tuned... #winterinca #tinystudio
