Picking Up the Reins
HWSDA Not knowing when my surgery would take place or how long it would take to recover, I cancelled all my commitments for teaching and vending for this year. Now that the surgery is done, I have been tentatively making bookings. My first is doing the local guild program in April, then a two day…

So Here I Sit
At my gate a O’Hare airport, sleep deprived, facing a nearly five hour flight to Vancouver, a four hour layover, and a final hour or so flight home. Too tired to think, let alone work on the project which cannot be named. Too tired to read. Too over tired to risk sleeping and miss the…

Updating Schedule
While I was away the brochure for NEWS arrived. I’m looking for another group in the New England area (or at least further east than the mid-West) to share travel costs with NEWS. The dates for the NEWS conference are July 14-17. Any groups interested in having a workshop with me either side of those…

Musings About Conferences
While I haven’t been completely unproductive today – I did thread the shawl warp – I haven’t done much else in the studio. Partly because I am on the board of a regional association whose main mandate is to bring a conference to the region every other year and there is an on-line meeting going…
