The winds blow so hard last night my little boat almost blow away to the river. She’s ready to go be a boat after all these years, but she’s forgotten she needs a little patch work first. Don’t laugh at her … we all need a little patching once and a while.
Kevin found her this morning and put a chair on her to hold her back. Lol.
I’m making art today. It has to be inside my tiny living space because if winds.
I’m hungry to make a butterfly stick today.
Well, ok, good…I got that off my chest. Lol
Let’s create HOPE starting Tuesday.
Tomorrow I get my raft out of storage. Let’s paint while floating on that river.
This original is available for $140.
Titled “All we did was make billionaire demigods,” sadly this issue had nothing to do with your health 😞
You can own this original. I will mount and frame it, but I will reserve the right to reproduce it.
It’s 8.5×11 in marker and ink, painted on both sides of the vellum. Neon and metallic markers too. That doesn’t show up well in this photo

I’m quite aware that my view is very unpopular. Is yours?
Kevin goes back to work Tuesday and so will I. It’s been 5 months at 1 pm on January 25 since I had Kevin all to myself for the most part.
I’m going to be sad. Will greatly miss him.
So back to fueling my body properly, and back to making art will be my best medicine.
I love all the different art stations I can build here. Harmony House of the River is awesomeness.
I’m thinking of the one I’ll create in the middle of the Colorado river. Got to get into storage and grab my raft, paddle and a rope. Lol!
Let’s go! Water and ink in the middle of that river anyone?!? Lol
Guys. Read please.
I’m seeing a lot of fear conversion out here over my paver art being left in a public space … un-secure where someone could harm her.
If you learn one thing from me … please let it be this.
There is no such thing as security. PERIOD. I’m sorry we’re being taught and believe otherwise.
There is not enough money or man power in the world, to truly secure or keep anything safe … let alone my little piece of bleep PEACE art that you guys graciously granted me permission to display publicly. She doesn’t belong behind bars, does she?
She is a gift. Freely given by all involved.
She represents freedom. The butterflies will fly away. The art will not last forever.
Please don’t give into fear that something might happen to her. I beg you. Just enjoy her while she lasts.
Please just pray that she remains safe. PERIOD. And let it go.
If someone is set on destroying her … well, then. God has other plans. perhaps a very important lesson needs to be taught. Or maybe the next emerging artist needs to paint on it next.
God sees the entire battlefield. Let him handle the big things.
SO PLEASE … just pray she stays safe than it’s God’s business the only true security you got.
Look up instead of looking anywhere else … And remember … nothing lasts forever other than your soul and even it is FREE to chooses where it’s forever will be spent.
For immediate release 10/8/21:

Jackie Hunter – Women in Business
A Quilting Stitchuation, LLC, began on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska in 2015. We were located in a small 12×32 quilt cabin my husband and I designed.
Our first project was a hot rod t-shirt quilt and we were hooked. Shortly thereafter a Long Arm was purchased and we began quilting, teaching and selling fabric, notions and gifts on a very small scale.
The dream of owning a brick and mortar business quickly became a reality after we purchased a home in Alto, NM and found a building to lease in beautiful Ruidoso, NM. After a month and a half of renovations (painting, carpeting, etc.) we had our soft-opening on December 17th and our Grand Opening was January 19, 2017. We had a record number of attendees, ribbon cutting, Accuquilt and class demo’s, Live Radio Broadcast, and giveaways.
A Quilting Stitchuation has grown and evolved over the last several years and at the end of 2020 we purchased our own property in Alto, NM. The plan is to have the quilt shop, retreat center and retreat house all in the same location! In May 2021, we will open our new retreat house to the first group of quilting retreaters! Eventually we will complete the existing metal building into a quilt shop, as well as a brand new building that will become New Mexico’s first quilt retreat center, Stitch-n-Pines Retreat Center, LLC. Currently we may hold up to nine guests and after the new building is complete, up to 20!!
What is “A Quilting Stitchuation, LLC and Stitch-n-Pines, LLC?” They are a place for creativity, fun, and knowledge to be shared with others who appreciate the love, time and warmth that goes into every stitch. Life is too short to not love what you do and do what you love. We fell in love with fabric, quilting, and the great people we met and continue to meet along the way.
This business offers Janome Machines, fabric, notions,patterns, kits, books, gifts and long arm quilting services, as well as classes, but most of all it’s a gathering place for friends to spend time together. We also provide knife and scissor sharpening and cleaning/servicing/repairing of most sewing machines!
Thank you for visiting and we hope to see you in the store or as a guest at our new retreat center!

Today was grand day.
I got to hang out with Dr. Mary Lemmond, who just so happens to be apart of the Ruidoso Garden Club. So since I’m building an interactive garden, actually two, the Peace Garden and the Hope Garden … I of course am extremely interested in what say her!
What a special day, as she selected two pavers … one that will honor her sister (one of the 5 belles, as their daddy called them) and one for a sister from another mother.
By doing so she supported the Peace Garden.
Who may I honor for you today? It’s the place where we honor our most exceptional loves.
Zoom in and select you paver number. Message me.
All proceeds go to the cost involved in building the gardens, waterfalls and fish pond where the butterfly tree lives.
What a honor and privilege it is to get to do what I do … I thank God every moment.
Mary made a cool bird house today also.
Make one? Every Friday thru Sunday 1 to 4 pm. $20 I guarantee your success.
