Wearing ALL the Hats
North American society seems to have one and only one metric for measuring ‘success’. Money. As such, money isn’t a ‘bad’ token. Generally currency is regional, and if it is regulated, people from different regions can fairly easily trade with each other using a ‘trusted’ token, and be fairly certain they are not getting…

Value/Worth
I am in the midst of another writing project. Yeah, I know, I have so much time on my hands, why not spend an hour or two a day pounding the keyboard??? The project may never see light of day, but it has been an interesting exercise to rummage in the dark corners of my…

Work Flow
My dining room this morning. Foreground – last of the green shawls being fringe twisted. On chair – shawls ready for wet finishing. In bucket – four shawls to be fringe twisted. On bucket – stack of table runners needing to have their tags attached and pricing affixed. What is just out of sight on…
