The quotes we carry in our minds and memories have so many stories attached don’t they? Such a lovely piece. Hope you are enjoying the beginnings of 2010.

hello Lisa,

i have come a-visiting from Resurrection Fern and have spent (rather too much of) my morning rootling through your archives. it’s lovely here.

i love your work! i used to be a textile designer and i love stitching and embroidery. we also share a love of the work of Elisabeth Dunker and Jackie Bos. anyway, i just wanted to say hello and tell you how much i admire your work and aesthetics.

My mum says “mutton dressed as lamb” too! It’s to describe older ladies who try to look young right?
I’d never heard of the cold hands, warm heart saying but I like it too since people are always telling me I have cold hands!!!
And margaret, just to reassure you, I have tons of plants in my bedroom right now and I’m pretty sure no bugs have crawled into my ears yet (although I have been hearing a buzzing sound alot lately hehe) Xx

i think my mom and your grandmother may have been cut from the same piece of cloth
i love your polar bear hankie
it warms my heart
my favorite saying of my mom’s was “if you can’t say something nice about someone , don’t say anything at all”
but to my great aunt Cornelius I owe the following imprinted in my brain for all eternity:
“don’t wear patent leather shoes on a date because the boys can look up your skirt”
“always wear clean underwear because you never know when you might end up in an accident and be transfered to the hospital”
“don’t keep houseplants in your bedroom they will rob you of oxygen, and the bugs will crawl out of the pots and into your ears at night”
You might gather she was not my favorite aunt.

my grandmother also said “cold hands, warm heart” as a person with bad blood circulation i often cling to that saying. my heart is very warm to say the least

i always enjoy your work! best wishes, alyssa
