Tulip Bukhara suzani. 

A few minor changes. Drum, tsunami sculpture, green basket. Ok other stuff and a lot more to do. 

I am hardly mended from the surgery but I feel like I'm 16 again. Energy is returning. It's amazing, breathing. 

And pain going and still have some 

Tweaking to do but I am not sure I've ever felt this way exactly. 

Finally doctors and dentists are figuring it out. It's great. 

Remembering friends from Japan.

Lately I had a little surgical thing done, cool surgery actually.

Balloon surgery for my terrible sinuses. Very cool. I was awake and no pain. This is the best way to go, leaves no scar tissue, so you actually heal up instead of getting worse. I waited for this a long time. So I decided just to put some photos of me on today.

At Stehekin last summer

 At the farm with friends

                                                            And Christmas, age 46

Yoshino Cherry Blossoms. Most Revered Cherry Blossom of Japan. In bloom now!

This is my small Yoshino Cherry Tree. I have enjoyed it so much. 

Hoping you do too.

Taken daytime. Overcast though.

These taken around 7:20 pm

Evening. Just before dusk came.

You may see why these are revered. 

Open white and finish a delicate pink as

breeze lifts them from the tree spreading them daintily

 everywhere in profusion.

This year I have azalea but will possible redo it. Maybe

I can find small cyclamen again. 

It's pretty interesting with blooms.    

Some stuff I've made

Growing the Kiku and this is a pitcher I made. Used as vase. 

Btw. I ordered my mums for this year!!

A special pillow I made and really didn't know why. For someone I didn't know. 

Turns out I have Soo much in common with this person. It's really a miracle. 

A hat I designed and made for my daughter. (one of)

Graphic art work

Alkaline glaze. Wood fired in woodfire kiln I built.
