If you're looking for my website, you've probably discovered that it disappeared. Sorry about that!<br />
It was hopelessly out of date, and in need of a make-over. Unfortunately, there has been a bit of a delay in getting a spiffy new one up and running. So.... in the meantime, you can get the basic information here:<br />

Many thanks!<br />

Last Spring I filled an old suet feeder with scraps of cloth, yarn and ribbon--hoping to temp nest-builders with colorful adornments.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then,while cleaning out the garden earlier this spring, I discovered a small nest from last summer which had amazingly survived a wild winter and four feet of snow. Woven around the nest was a blue ribbon. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihD_rRMc06pDEKRuxoYyl-pv4p1cMpyxqGUe83xv035p0m__i4bcmXAJAe040b2OJy1I-2UmwH-HpaFwO14u8wfktNbHV5qbKjIadrskxqihPr4nQZG0C4ji0U9uM_wyBdDfGDtNIp05Dw/s1600/IMG_3116-2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihD_rRMc06pDEKRuxoYyl-pv4p1cMpyxqGUe83xv035p0m__i4bcmXAJAe040b2OJy1I-2UmwH-HpaFwO14u8wfktNbHV5qbKjIadrskxqihPr4nQZG0C4ji0U9uM_wyBdDfGDtNIp05Dw/s320/IMG_3116-2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The nest few weeks brought several gusty winds, and eventually the ribbon disappeared.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-VUQSX3cwvxrZY_RB88kHOdQJ0NyelK4-qMW8M1XxO071Qzo795Z9EXrw1RrIjvETpprsUXTHBVPcpYSXAMMb2osK4wN8WhVNfQsfTIccZANOmMcWXo4GE3_EgSpOG0txKkxe0_fKTsCb/s1600/DSCN4101.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-VUQSX3cwvxrZY_RB88kHOdQJ0NyelK4-qMW8M1XxO071Qzo795Z9EXrw1RrIjvETpprsUXTHBVPcpYSXAMMb2osK4wN8WhVNfQsfTIccZANOmMcWXo4GE3_EgSpOG0txKkxe0_fKTsCb/s400/DSCN4101.JPG" width="308" /></a>Then last week, I noticed another nest. A nervous catbird flew back and forth. It's hard to see it in this photo, but festooned just below the nest is a faded blue ribbon. You can see the bird's face peaking out of the nest.<br />

In the story, a child and her grandmother make a quilt. So....I'm making the quilt. Apparently, Suzie has decided I need her input. Here's the before and after of the design:<br />

So for the past two years plus, my website has been woefully outdated. My old pal, David, a marvelous website designer and Renaissance man, came to visit us this weekend. He graciously dusted off my site and set up an easy and nearly fool-proof (even for me!) way for me to update it. So please take a look around and let me know your thoughts.<br />

My cousin Susan made this image, and I really like it. It embraces the symbols of love and equality so simply and beautifully. But until the Supreme Court hopefully makes the right decisions to make sure ALL people have the rights defined in our Constitution, this symbol can only exist in the sand. I'm holding out for hope. </div>

Well, it's time to cut down the amount of mouse food in my studio. (They LOVE paper!) I'm having a clean-out sale at at a Portland (Maine) gallery, <a href="http://www.zerostation.com/home.html">Zero Station</a>, in April. There will be an assortment of stuff: sketches, drawings, sample pieces, giclee prints, and original illustrations from most of my twenty-something picture books. I will also have books for sale.<br />
<b>Kirsten Cappy</b> at <a href="http://www.curiouscity.net/">Curious City</a> suggested I offer a discount to teachers and librarians, which I think is a fine idea. And <b><a href="http://annajboll.com/">Anna Boll</a></b>, who has launched a great site called <a href="http://authorvisits.com/">Author & Illustrator Visits</a>, said I should ask everyone to share the news!<br />
Hope to see you there. Let me know if you have any questions!<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><b>UPDATE: </b>In celebration of their 25th anniversary, I will be donating a portion of the proceeds to purchase art supplies and books for <a href="http://www.yfoutreach.org/home.html">Youth & Family Outreach</a>---a fabulous early childhood center in Portland, Maine. </span><br />

I began by reading my book, <i><a href="http://www.leeandlow.com/books/39/hc/david_s_drawings">David's Drawings</a></i>. In the book, a young boy draws a bare winter tree, and then welcomes crayon contributions from his classmates. The result is a joyful collaboration of friendship and imagination. Program participants made their own collaborative drawing, played cooperative games, made collages, and created their own inauguration hats ( it was, indeed, a two-event day!) They also wrote their hopes, wishes and dreams on paper leaves and added them to our "I Have A Dream" tree. Locals who visit the <a href="http://www.portlandlibrary.com/home.htm">Portland Public Library</a> can visit the tree and add their own leaves starting tomorrow, January 22nd.Cathryn Falwellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13500703510144416586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007890822998891775.post-23038292014029003472012-12-20T14:06:00.002-08:002012-12-20T14:09:21.728-08:00Winter Wonder<h2>
