Ladies in Waiting
It’s always a bit of a let down when a student or company leaves. I have so much fun talking about weaving, teaching/learning. When it’s time for them to go home, I kind of want to cry “Mooommmmy! It’s ooooover!” :^) Ah well – back to ‘work’…. While my student was working on her own…

Marking Milestones
One of the services provided by Blogger is a count of page views. I’m not sure why we like to read meaning into statistics.

While Kerstin and I have had these sorts of conversations before, there always seems…

warp for Big Project #4 ready to be rough sleyed Confidence: Firm trust; assured expectation; self-reliance; boldness, impudence; telling of private matters (as a secret) etc… Have been thinking today about why I started blogging.

To Market, To Market
Today I racked up some success….and some failure. I did figure out how to create a .pdf file and finished the final edits of the pamphlet (not sure what else to call it – at 14,000 plus words and 45 pages, it’s not a ‘book’) on the things I’ve learned about being in the business…

Profit is Not a Four Letter Word
Writing about being in the business of designing, making and selling hand woven textiles has brought up many memories as I wander down memory lane, and not all of them are pleasant. Let’s face it, in order to be a person who sells their own designs in a field as competitive as that of textiles requires…
