Bittersweet Design Studio: Sewing with my Mother
http://bittersweetdesignstudio.blogspot.com/2014/05/sewing-with-my-mother.html
My work and my life - the two appear to be inseparable! Thursday, May 1, 2014. Sewing with my Mother. Listening to my daughter's music. They are both here with me - even though they aren't. One is gone - 3 months now since she left this world behind, one is away - crafting an incredible and amazing new life. I listen to the hum of the sewing machine and it is like a cat's purr; comforting, reassuring, reminding me so much of my mother. They fill my heart, surround me, make me ache, cry and smile. Say No ...

Bittersweet Design Studio: On this day 55 years ago
http://bittersweetdesignstudio.blogspot.com/2014/12/on-this-day-55-years-ago.html
My work and my life - the two appear to be inseparable! Wednesday, December 17, 2014. On this day 55 years ago. I was born, three weeks premature, to a young woman, an unwed mother, a student at university, in Philadelphia. This wonderful young woman made the ultimate sacrifice. Despite the social mores of the day, she chose to carry me for 9 months (well - almost), and then do the unthinkable. My mother loved us fiercely. Both my brother and I have now celebrated our first birthdays without her....

Bittersweet Design Studio: Until Tomorrow
http://bittersweetdesignstudio.blogspot.com/2014/03/until-tomorrow.html
My work and my life - the two appear to be inseparable! Sunday, March 2, 2014. Was what I said in my last post. That phrase could mean 'until tomorrow', in this case 'in a month', or it could be 'goodbye'. Pheasant Run Farm Bed and Breakfast. Winter Concert and Live Recording. My friend Bobbi came by on Sunday evening, around 7:30. She brought her guitar and we all kept company with Mom in the family room. Bobbi played, my. Brother Matt, daughter Ginna, and I joined in, laughed, listened. These rings wer...

Bittersweet Design Studio: I truly enjoy my Creativity
http://bittersweetdesignstudio.blogspot.com/2014/04/i-love-creativity.html
My work and my life - the two appear to be inseparable! Saturday, April 12, 2014. I truly enjoy my Creativity. Can I just say that my mom would have loved Etsy if it had been around years ago? There were SO many times that we would be working on something together and needed a particular 'special item' to finish off our project. Of course, we would probably end up creating it ourselves. I am a great believer in the idea that clothing should be fun. Maybe this is where my daughter gets the idea that I was...

Bittersweet Design Studio: February 2014
http://bittersweetdesignstudio.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
My work and my life - the two appear to be inseparable! Sunday, February 2, 2014. I had plans, Mom had different ones. I thought we had more time. Ha! But I had plans. The first of many: super girl was going to redo Mom's family room. I was going to find places for most of the furniture in the room, then move some of her bedroom furniture downstairs. I wanted her to be able to sleep in her own bed. She loves her bedroom. And really, her bedroom is so pretty. Isn't it? But I had plans. I had to make plans.

Bittersweet Design Studio: July 2013
http://bittersweetdesignstudio.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
My work and my life - the two appear to be inseparable! Monday, July 29, 2013. We closed the doors at 12:01 Saturday WOW do I feel great! Going to the barn on Thursday - we had more than a couple of arm loads of vintage clothing to hang, and a few assorted boxes of items. Ginna and Kristin were troopers again. Because it was supposed to get hot we started at 7 am and then planned on finishing on the earlier side. We tried out the dart board, and made piles. A pile for the barn, a pile for It's Bazaar,.
