Temple Grandin - We watched this on On Demand the other night at the recommendation of Nancy London, and it was really wonderful. Clare Danes plays Temple Grandin, a young woman who was diagnosed as Autistic, and whose mother was told it was probably her fault, and that Temple should be institutionalized. The mom, played by Julia Ormond, refused to believe that her child couldn't be taught, and worked with her to teach her and make sure that she attended college and became a self supporting person. This is based on a true story, and the main thing about Temple is that she thinks in pictures. I loved this movie, and recommend it without reservation. Everything about it is top notch.
Her Heart On Her Sleeve: I live in a suburb north of Chicago, and I read, bead, make jewelry, sew, watch TV and movies, crochet, craft, decorate, go to house and garage sales, walk and go on beach walks, listen to music, take pictures, cook and bake, read, and write about all of it on herheartonhersleeve. I have a companion blog called Jewlery by Dianne Sophia at diannesophia.blogspot.com where I write exclusively about my jewelry.
Jewelry By Dianne Sophia: I have been collecting vintage jewelry since I was a girl growing up in Detroit, and have been designing and making jewelry for 15 years. I love to work with pearls and crystals, semi-precious stones, Sterling Silver and Gold, along with vintage beads and materials. I delight in combining shape, pattern and color in new ways. I'm inspired and influenced by my travels and experiences as a reader, writer, photographer and student of life. My blog herheartonhersleeve.blogspot.com chronicles my life in art and popular culture.
