‘Cause Baltimore is wacky, Charlie.
Saw some fine examples of Baltimore’s wacky charm on our walk today, all in Hampden. There is apparently a Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Link to website here. Devotees are called Pastafarians :) Well, this Hampdenite, right on the

I set out to do this square so in spite of my present misgivings about them, I’ve finished it. It is also framed (Michaels) and on a peel-and-stick vinyl square (Home Depot). Now I’m going to work on the

Charlie, the signs of spring and the hippo
This tree (magnolia?) is in bud, snowdrops are out and daffodils are getting taller. Which is all very fine. I was pleased to see them all and am looking forward to spring.

Another new lamp, graffiti
What do you think about the corner of the street sign not being straight? Too much of a distraction? I swear it was when it was stretched but, well, that’s how it goes.

Charlie lives in Medfield
It occurred to me that in all of our neighborhood wanderings we’d never introduced you to our little neighborhood. When I moved in, my next door neighbor had lived in his house for 40 years. His daughter lived with

More Art with Charlie
I had to pick up the glass for the new lights today so drove downtown. Didn’t really have energy for much else so stopped in the middle to give Charlie a walk somewhere interesting. These pictures were taken around MICA,

Sick Day (me, not Charlie)
Poor Charlie didn’t get any walks today. I’ve got the kid’s stomach virus and almost never left the couch. We’re sick of Ramen soup and Premium crackers and out of ginger ale. Fortunately still had a few ginger snaps left

Parasols came, on hold, another finished thing
There are pictures of a finished silk square below but I’m actually more excited about the parasols. Unfortunately after some experimenting and even more shopping, I discovered that I needed to order a chemical fixative. So, I’ve done that and

Charlie visits Roland Park
Explored a new part of Roland Park today. It’s a big neighborhood and these houses are mostly not stone like the first ones. They are closer together and the neighborhood has a more informal feeling. Wooden garages may need

Patchwork scarf
As Mish-Mish is demonstrating I sample my paint colors on 12″x12″ silk squares. This leads to lots of colorful silk squares all dressed up and nowhere to go. I’ve made pillows out of them and hair scrunchies and sold

Charlie and the mysterious fireplace
Charlie is outside and in a fireplace. How can this be? Here is a picture sans Charlie to show context. Baltimore: quirky we are. As you can see what has apparently happened is that the one house was torn down

Lampshade
So, the folks at the gift shop took a look at my new products: lamp, graffiti on slate, and the new framing for the little silk squares. They thought they were all good. One liked the new framing, the other

St. Patrick’s Day scarves
I know it’s not St. Patrick’s Day yet but just for once I’ve made scarves ahead of time so I am able to bring them to the couple of stores that carry my scarves and post them online as well.

Graffiti on slate
Another new product idea for those non-silk-scarf-wearing people. I transferred my graffiti style painting to a slate roof tile (found at a salvaged building material warehouse). The little black things on either side are knots in a leather rope

I had these little squares at the gift shop that carries my scarves. I make them by cutting up one of my hand painted silk scarves and stretching them over 6″x6″ canvas squares. The owners returned them to me because

I fantasize about buying this house, tearing it down and making a row house sized, Addams family looking, haunted bed and breakfast – black, with turrets and maybe a little, tiny haunted cornfield in the back. The cemetery is already

Yes, looking for deer in Baltimore City. Very busy day crafting today so just walked around the house. Looked for deer in the little wooded area where they sometimes hang out. It’s a very narrow strip of woody-ness that follows

Charlie visits Clipper Mill
Charlie and I walked to Clipper Mill today. We looked at the interesting mix of original old stone and modern art, broken windows and shi shi restaurants. The area used to be the Union Machine Shops, a large company

Charlie runs free
A very kind gentleman allows neighbor dogs to run off leash in his fenced yard. The yard seems gloriously large to Charlie and you can see why – our yard is very small and made up into all vegetable garden

Yes, Charlie, those are styrofoam cups.
Charlie and I went looking for tacky Ravens decorations and Baltimore did not disappoint. We are a creative and expressive city. Do we use styrofoam cups because it’s a cheap way of saying what we are aching to say or
