FORMER ACTRESS, CURRENT author Meg Tilly (famous since the early 80s – Big Chill, anyone?) is now a blogger. Who’s not, right? OK, but Meg’s blog world includes her own musings, a joint blog with daughter Emily Zinnemann, and Emily’s own shared blog with her non-friend, Sheera. My head’s spinning a bit from the meta of it all, but these women can write, and their views of all manner of sisterly relations are pretty fascinating reading. [click to continue…]

PIE, AT LEAST the fruit variety, is supposed to be simple, in my not so humble opinion. I don’t need custard or crumble. If the fruit is fine, you don’t need much else to reach a level of delicious often unmatched by other, fancier desserts. This time of year, I’ve been known to get all competitive about my pie-making prowess, with mixed results (not to mention family drama.) [click to continue…]

AS I’VE MENTIONED before, my mother is a major needleworker: sewing, knitting, quilting, embroidery. Some of her skills came my way, but most did not.

MY BUDDING ARTISTS? How the kids see me.
First time here? Here's the idea: The Sister Project is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in friendship or in feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top on our homepage says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: Learn more about TSP, and how to find your way around. And oh—a giant, sisterly welcome.
