This is the beginning. Though I have not posted for nearly a year, I hope to have much more to say in the following weeks. In fact, in a few short months, I will open a business in a community of artisans here, in San Pedro. Ironically, mysteriously, unwittingly, it seems J and I have been very active in manifesting this community. You see, every time we would drive past the buildings,

Aloha....from the abyss

2011-12-28T20:37:00.001-08:00

Just thought I'd stop in and say hi. It has been nearly a year. I will post more thoroughly soon, but know I have not disappeared!

Happy new year!!! We end the year of the Tiger/Julian Calander with a fine Thai meal. This is the Paradise Fried Rice. And it was!

Skating on the thin Ice of time and memories

2010-12-29T08:56:00.001-08:00

In a land far away and in a time not so long ago, I was a child in a fairy-tale neighborhood of movie stars and surfers. Many things happened and subsequently many things changed. One day my mother came home with a pair of white skates, the kind you found only at the skating rinks. It was the height of the skating craze, sometime in the late’70’s when studio 54, the Bee Gees and cocaine were

Fashioning a Frock

2010-12-28T22:35:00.000-08:00

This is the beginning of a coat I crafted for Jason Wells. The direction was to create a ‘proper’ frock coat with full skirt and large, deep cuffs. The kicker was he wanted appliqués of spirals, and not just any spirals, but spirals based on the golden mean and found in fractal patterns. I first started with the spirals and the cutting of the pattern. The coat was a very demanding project as the

Waffle Alchemy

2010-12-02T21:59:00.000-08:00

On the chance that you may have never experienced the true thrill of a bacon, cheddar and jalapeño waffle, may I introduce you to mine. Bacon saltiness! Cheddar yummy sharp cheesiness!!! Spicy Jalapeño peppers make this a meal for anytime….day or night!!!

This is me painting. I am working on panels for the back walls of the demo area which were sorely outdated. The Tahitian island tiki bar wasn't working anymore. The fun part of doing panels is the instant gratification factor. You paint'em and they get put up and VOILA! Instant new environment! This revamp will be something like the experience of sitting at the counter at a '50s diner. At

Lucky Plant and a joyful morn

2010-08-30T21:08:00.000-07:00

We moved from a very dark, miserable apartment where the bathroom was dank and unloved. It was reminiscent of a ships head. Light was at a premium and the shower was barely large enough for one, though strangely, the ants visited regularly when it got hot. Needless to say the whole environment was mighty depressing. Today, I walked into the bathroom and stopped in awe. Yes, it is just a piece

Home on the Range

2010-08-26T08:30:00.000-07:00

In the high desert, about an hour outside of Los Angeles, is a community of bee hive like dwellings that rise out of the ground organically, masquerading as small hills and large rocks. This is Cal-Earth. I often dream of these houses. In theory the process is to build them is very simple. Spending a day wandering around their silhouettes, inspecting their placement and imagining the

Early hours

2010-08-14T04:28:00.001-07:00

I wake early now. 4AM It is not thrilling, but it is getting easier. I got my own alarm clock. Last night, I woke out of anxiety though....each time looking at my new alarm clock, wondering if it would go off on time. Sadly, I was late yesterday...48 minutes to be exact. Justin and I had a Brady Bunch moment. He came home late, I was out already having had fallen asleep reading. When he came to

The New World BLT

2010-08-09T12:28:00.000-07:00

For those of you who are making moves towards minimizing meat and wheat from your diets, here is a recipe for a tasty BLT that will leave you satisfied AND with a yummy grin on your mug! The cheese, playing the part of the bacon, is a special kind called halumi, which eschews the pernicious and vain attempts of the flame to melt it. Instead, it becomes golden brown on the outside and gooey

Rolling into year Three

2010-08-07T09:42:00.000-07:00

WHEEEEEE! We went on a Ferris Wheel today at the Taste of San Pedro! What a way to usher in our third year together in marriage. I love my wiggly husband and his crazy picture taking antics so much! Thanks Justin for two of the most amazing years of my life!

Loving Labor

2010-07-29T11:56:00.000-07:00

I have been resting Yes…we moved house and I set the home basically on my own in less than 5 weeks. (This is not to say Justin did not help, he did need to go to work and this left me to handle the critical decision making process of where to place the solar oven and what cabinet the Tupperware goes into.) Yes….I have made three coats and a vest for clients. Yes….I am still teaching dance

Local Library is Larger than upon Last Inspection

2010-07-25T07:58:00.000-07:00

Didja know this bit of information? If you belong to the Los Angeles public library you can go on-line, order up the book, video or dvd and have it delivered to your local library? What a deal! Our local branch library is the smallest I have ever seen and I initially despared to have a good library experiance there, but I was wrong! Thanks to my darling friend Katherine the Great of Blue Moon

HOUSEWARMING @ 234

2010-07-24T09:37:00.000-07:00

Our house warming went so well! I love the new place....it is bright, airy and just right for the two of us. Our house altar is now filled with cards and flowers and gifts....it feels abundant here. Our neighbors are awesome too! Sharon and Jack brought over sodas and cheer, Nobu brought a beautiful platter of nummy Japanese nibblies and a promise to teach me how to cook it later! Also, all

Fantasy life

2010-07-22T08:36:00.000-07:00

As most who know me, I long to travel. Ok...not the kind of fantasy travel most dream of, more like wandering. No real agenda except to make it eventually from point A to point B.....eventually. This would be ideally facilitated by my large Morgan horse Max and it would involve a brightly painted yet well equipped vardo. Seriously, I am really in a fantasy here, I know, but when I was travelling

Last night at the Casbah

2010-06-15T12:29:00.001-07:00

So. this last Sunday was the last Shimmy Showcase for me as a Co-ord. I have so much to process through and I will write more later...until then, here are a few videos and photos to check out.

Movin' on UP!!!

2010-06-02T10:01:00.000-07:00

We're moving! YAY! ....and BOO. We found a darling little community of houses on the N/W side of town on a hill with a peek of the ocean. Our unit is on top of the 4 car garage and we couldn't be happier. No more 2 ton fairy elephants prancing over our heads at night. I will miss Mario though. He has a been a fair and accommodating landlord. I will miss gardening with him. I will miss him

Am I reaching here?

2010-05-28T06:19:00.000-07:00

I read this article this morning and it got me thinking. I wonder….. Are we coming to a time when the Aztecs foresaw? Is there truly a shift of consciousness happening? Are we evolving? Are some of us unable to comprehend or manage the elevation of our state of being? I love thinking about the old tale told to me by the Calvary Christians about the Rapture. They said God would decide to ‘take’
