Originals by Ricciosa




The first pic is a very basic machine embroidery on a sweatshirt for our good buddy Mark Robinson. It's something he says often. The saying has special meaning since I've had an 8 month migraine seige, which is thankfully waning.

The next is my first attempt at fabric collage done with a "free motion quilting" technique. It is the back view of a sweatshirt I made for our son Steve.

The purse is done in silk dupioni with a machine embroidery design on the flap. This is an adaptation of a purse I learned how to make in the Martha Pullen Sewing Extravaganza four day seminar that I went to in October. I made it for our brilliant UCLA law student Ariel Robinson whom we've known since she was just a twinkle in her dad's eye.

Ensenada house pix



This is the kitchen in the main house. For some reason I can't find the exterior pix right now. You can always go to ensenadarealestate.com and look at Casa Oceana V-3. That's the site we use to rent it.

Sunrise over the lagoon


This is a winter sunrise view of the estuary to the rear of the house. More house pix to follow. Gotta go bike ride now on my new bike. I am totally overequipped and undertrained. MUST change that!!! Off to huff and puff.

Beach House, Ensenada, Mexico


This is a map of where the beach house is on Punta Estero near Punta Banda. I don't know how well you can see it. There is a view of the estuary from the rear of the house and an ocean view from the front of the house. You MUST come down and hang with us there. We have part of it rented and part of it for personal/family/friend use. Will put some pix up next.

My new toys I got for Christmas

Weeeeellllll.....I got this blog made for me by my crazy talented brilliant son Steve. I also got a digital camera from my dear hubby Lee. Shortly I will put them together and post some pix. I have to do some dreary bill paying before I can get back to sewing some more Christmas presents that will be delivered Jan 1. Will post more interesting stuff later!!!
