Someone had put this bouncy horse on the sidewalk.

Kids couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

Not sure how we ever were able to get home for dinner.

It was announced LBI was being opened for one morning.

I got up at 5 to get gas so I could drive down.  From blocks away all the police lights could be seen.  Police cars surrounded the station.  Armed guards stood watch.  There was no gas.   A line of cars blocks long waited for when gas would be delivered – hopefully in a few hours.

I went to the gym.

I had started an “abstract painting” as an example of my idea for the Cohens.  This month I had a moment to finish it.  This is how it turned out.

For my wonderful and powerful sister-in-law’s big 25th birthday I gave her this print I had taken of her.  Her robe I sewed out of hand-i-wipes and I made her Power belt.

I created an installation for the home of Amy and Michael Cohen in Philadelphia.  It was really fun and challenging to create something that I was inspired to do after touring their lovely home.  I ended up creating what I think of as a three dimensional abstract painting.  I have incorporated pieces of fabric from the Cohens’ live which I have embroidered.  The fabric is protruding at different distances from the wall on thin pins.
