I started this blog while living in Portland, Oregon. I had learned how to crochet hats and found the process creative and meditative. One sunny afternoon while crocheting in a park downtown, a kid on a skateboard asked me, “Is that one of your passions?” His comment made me realize that I wanted promote that idea. I decided to start this blog to explore creative passions. For me, its all about color, shape and texture.

Soul Friends
I had made my friend Teresa a hat with a yarn that reminded me of the colors of lapis. Still dreaming of the Blue Mosque... Fortunately, there was enough left over yarn to make one for myself.
Teresa is a talented artist photographer who is moving to NYC next month. Many blessings to Teresa and Shezad on their upcoming adventure. Visit Teresa's website:

MIR MUSIC... Evolving the Soul Through Sound
Jack, owner of Mir Music, had procured a bell for me. In exchange we decided that I would make him a hat. And so, at a recent pot luck gathering a small posse of us went to the fabric store to pick out yarn for Jack's new hat. I didn't realize until I had finished that the colors were also those of the Oregon Ducks. Jack was pleased...Jack also teaches guitar at his store.
