What Laurie Loves: Cats, Quilts, Casablanca, and More: 2010-06-06
http://whatlaurieloves.blogspot.com/2010_06_06_archive.html
Friday, June 11, 2010. Ahhh a cool weekend ahead. The Lyons Studio Tour is over, and I had about 20 people come "all the way up here" each day. It was really nice. There were of course some people who know quilting well, and it was great to talk to them and get some new ideas. I think I introduced the new art quilting to some folks too. This weekend promises to be rainy and cool. Just what the doctor ordered! A mosaic workshop is planned for Saturday with Susan Wechsler. Links to this post. Chrome Beta f...

Friday, July 9, 2010. Quilting with dinnerware - FINISHED! Well - the first project is finished, anyway. This is going to turn into another hobby, I'm afraid. The mirror frame turned out just lovely, if I do say so myself. I spent the July 4 weekend with a bunch of friends starting some NEW projects with the leftover dishes, and whatever pieces of wood were lying around. We now have trivets, a couple of new picture frames, and other great things in our little group of creative friends. Links to this post.

Sunday, June 13, 2010. A quilt is when you take some perfectly good fabric, cut it up, and then sew it back together again. What a concept, right? This time I'm making a frame for a mirror - 50" x 16". It's still in the works - I need to put some tiles on the inside and outside of the frame, and then grout it. But it's really fun, and a LOT like quilt making. Perhaps the next project will be a big flat surface - a wall hanging of some sort or a very large trivet. Links to this post. 04Nov11 - I've moved.

Friday, July 16, 2010. New mosaics . getting better every time. Instead of needle pokes in my fingers I now have cuts on my fingers from grouting. And they really hurt! I guess it's something about smearing dirt and sand inside a cut that makes it instantly sting. They last longer than needle sticks too. This next one is a little better. The colors are more muted and I didn't use the baubles on the front of the piece. It's the same size as the sun, but more 'peaceful' colors. Links to this post. New mosa...

What Laurie Loves: Cats, Quilts, Casablanca, and More: A week of vacation - Marrakesh and the Riad Ambre et Epices
http://whatlaurieloves.blogspot.com/2014/05/a-week-of-vacation-marrakesh-and-riad.html
Wednesday, May 28, 2014. A week of vacation - Marrakesh and the Riad Ambre et Epices. The most beautiful place we stayed. This riad is down twisty empty alleys - we were sure we were being taken somewhere to be shot and never seen again. What a gem! The people who work here are, as usual, incredibly friendly. There's nice music playing in our courtyard in the mornings and afternoons, and we have breakfast on the roof terrace. June 24, 2014 at 2:34 PM. This comment has been removed by the author.

What Laurie Loves: Cats, Quilts, Casablanca, and More: A weekend in the North of Morocco - Chefchaouen and Tangier
http://whatlaurieloves.blogspot.com/2014/05/a-weekend-in-north-of-morocco.html
Sunday, May 4, 2014. A weekend in the North of Morocco - Chefchaouen and Tangier. We called the hotel and for 800 dirhams (about $100) they would send a car up with the three bags. So we sat at the mall and waited nearly three hours. Our poor driver was furious - he was the one who had the hard drive ahead of him. We didn't blame him but what could we do? Chaouen at 2:30am and had a short, hard sleep. He proudly brought out his workbook with the OFPPT logo and showed me! May 5, 2014 at 5:55 AM. Hamdu lil...

What Laurie Loves: Cats, Quilts, Casablanca, and More: A week of vacation - here's how to keep bees out of your mint tea in Morocco
http://whatlaurieloves.blogspot.com/2014/05/a-week-of-vacation-heres-how-to-keep.html
Wednesday, May 28, 2014. A week of vacation - here's how to keep bees out of your mint tea in Morocco. After a hike in Chefchaouen, we wanted some refreshing mint tea. We stopped at a beautiful little cafe on a hillside and asked for tea and water. The waiter and the owner tried to dissuade us from ordering tea - they said the bees would attack us. But we thought we'd be clever and cover our glasses with napkins and drink from straws. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Feel free to comment or e-mail me.

Thursday, May 8, 2014. The second week continues . clarity! Machines. And last, we went to the IT school to learn about their curriculum - Networking, Development, and Telecom, for the most part, but they also get some CISCO and Microsoft certifications from some classes. Wednesday night we went to a great restaurant right on the water near the lighthouse (pictures to come) called le Cabestan. Links to this post. Sunday, May 4, 2014.
