Lady Luck has smiled on Magpie commenter  #140!!!!  Happy Tuesday!  Have your people call my people.  You'll get hooked up. Next week I'll spin the wheel of fortune again and draw another name.  Because you're nice and I like you.

On this cold, rainy Los Angeles night as cloud piles move overhead and wind blows and rattles the windows of Moss Cottage, I deliver a poem.  That I took the liberty of cutting into pieces.  Because when I'm not cutting paper scraps I'm cutting up...

Somewhere deep in my late Autumn brain are thoughts that have nothing to do with paper scraps and fabric bits.   Wild delicious excitements are rising and cresting.  Great waves of ideas one behind the other.  All to do with paper and fabric. ...

A big serving of cold and grey in the City of Angels today.   Too much sunshine causes my smooth thoughts to become jagged.  Rain is in the forecast for next week!  It's 56 degrees outside!  Not enough cool weather to smooth out my thoughts yet. ...

In a stunning reversal of tradition, the breakfast club went out for dinner & cocktails!    On a weeknight.  GASP!  To this splendid corner table.  Which overlooked the whole glittering metropolis spread out below us.   Happy Birthday Lewis. ...
