What am I working on?


Go see what's on My Design Wall today.


Here you can see how I build a project, from start to finish, on my design wall.

The pictures that I take along the way provide the bread crumb trail I use to get back on the path when I've gone astray. They also provide a different perspective and a distancing to my own work.

Kim Mason: kz@tds.net

I'm a 49 year old Quilter, Episcopalian, and Lover of Words. I'm of mixed heritage (1/2 Ozark Hillbilly, 1/2 Southern Belle), I live in the Pacific NW and I love to talk about my family, quilting and country living.

Oh, and I'm SINGLE (in case you're wondering).

I am a freelance writer, outdoors columnist and photojournalist who loves meeting people while they are doing what they love and listening to them talk about their passions.

I live a Creative, Joy-filled Life in love with God, all creation and my neighbor (that means you). It's my vocation. I hope that one day, if I practice long and hard enough, I might get good at it.

I WOULD LOVE for you to leave me a comment or you can send me an email.

Why “Oft Traveled”?

As much as I would like to believe that I am original or different, "There is nothing new under the sun." (Ecclesiastes 1:9). The road that I am on is a road that many other people have traveled before me. That fact gives me comfort, it humbles me and it reminds me that I am most certainly not alone on my journey.

A Prayer for the Road

My LORD GOD, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone. -Thomas Merton from Thoughts in Solitude
