Another Trip Round the Sun.
Celebrating another trip round the sun by…dressing the loom again. 🙂 As I have been reflective about my weaving, I have also been reflective about my life. Over the years I have made mistakes – and hopefully learned from them. I have tried my darndest to think about the end result of decisions that I…

Planning Well in Advance
Fighting a low grade headache today made thinking challenging. I realized I needed to see the shape of the conference so first I printed out a calendar (white sheet at the top) but the squares were just too small. Sometimes it pays to be a pack rat, and I found a large roll of (very…
