Three years ago I had an embroidered artwork in my shop, Blossom Home. After I posted it on Flickr I heard from a sweet guy who reproduced it as a painting. I've continued to see other versions of it over the years. It's fun to see how a piece like this can connect people in different parts of the world.
The wool one I had in my shop:
Painted by GiveAwayBoy:
From Dottie Angel:
From MidCenturyJo:
From More Ways to Waste Time:
From Doe C Doe:
And sew on....!

I was in the hospital all last week (food poisoning from a health food store no less!) and the otherwise perfectly splendid nurses wouldn't let me have any coffee. I snuck out of my room on the third day, clinging to my IV pole, in search of the cafeteria. I had already put in a call to a friend "on the outside" to sneak some coffee in to me but hadn't heard back from her and I was getting head-achy.
There were security cameras at every turn. I always feel I'm the one who they'll be watching. The one who stands out in some weird way, "Keep an eye on that one in the big brown fuzzy bear robe." I found the cafeteria but chickened out. On the seemingly long walk back to my room I began to regret my hesitation, knowing that momentarily I would be back in that tiny room, whining. To my right I caught a glimpse of the nurses break room. "Oo, my radar is good." And there on the counter were coffee urns with gourmet labels all lined up like obedient little servers. No hesitation this time. I hung a hard right, blatantly charging forth beneath the all-seeing black globe in the ceiling, grabbed a cup, filled it, and even took a little time for a splash of cream. Ahhhh. It's the simple things. Where's that Espresso Ambulanz when you need it?
I'm back home now and FEELING GOOD, "It's a new dawn it's a new day, it's a new life, for meeeee."

Scott Waterman has a blog! It's called Corbu's Cave -- a version of "The Painted Wall: From Cave Painting to Le Corbusier and Beyond"! If you don't know Scott you're in for a treat. He's an engaging writer and brilliant artist.
Just for fun I did a search of the word Corbu and came up with some entertaining results: a commune in Romania, an architecture blog, the name of a show dog, and the name of an announcer for the women's basketball team at the University of Minnesota. Of course Scott's is the best use of the name. Go check it out for yourself. Thanks Scott for making life richer. xo
