Book Review
Today the mail brought a copy of The Fleece and Fiber Source Book. I am a big proponant of weavers (and other fibre craftspeople) having at least a basic understanding of the nature of their materials. While each fibre shares inherent characteristics, natural fibres come from living things – whether plant or animal sources –…

CanLit – sort of
Finished reading Blackfly Season this morning and just started the next in the series by Giles Blunt. Bearing in mind that I usually read (although not exclusively) mystery, fantasy or science fiction, and historical novels (quite often mysteries), my range of authors is narrow. Recently I discovered Giles Blunt and fortunately the local library had all of…

Round 3 and Finding Emilie
Round 3 has knocked the stuffing out of me, probably due to the good – and bad – stress of the trip – the infection, anti-biotics etc. – on top of all the rest of the stuff that goes with chemo. Although I started to feel a bit better yesterday morning, by night I was punky…

Merchants, Princes and Painters
This book by Lisa Monnas was recently mentioned on one of the chat groups, probably WeaveTech. I requested it on inter-library loan and of course it arrived right before we are heading off on a road trip. I’ve got it until the 22nd so I’m going to hang onto it and see how much I…

Post Show Slump
Like a re-chargable battery it seems like the older I get the longer it takes me to re-charge after a big expenditure of energy. :} And it seems like I’ve been running pretty much full tilt since September. So since getting home Monday night I’ve done very little other than read (one book was overdue…

Book Review
I’m a hunter. I hunt weekly at the public library for good authors. In the case of Laurel Corona, she found me – via this blog. Who knew that sharing my musings with the world would bring me a new story teller! I love stories well told. I love it when authors manage to craft…
