The Uncommon Cold

Posted on March 16, 2011 by This Woman Writes

The Norwegian Artist, however, believes that the Enemy Cold Virus needs to be attacked head on: sweated out, molested, assaulted, crushed, mashed, mangled, forced into unrelenting hard labor, deprived of oxygen, marched to the edge of the precipice and hurtled over the side. Continue reading →

Sewing, Knitting, Quilting — Real Women and Real Men Do These Things

Posted on March 7, 2011 by This Woman Writes

Posted on March 3, 2011 by This Woman Writes
