  Since weaving was, for me, not a hobby but a chosen profession, I had to spend time learning a lot more about how ‘money’ works than I knew when I began. I had known small business owners (my mother being one of them, eventually) so I had a peek at what they needed to…

  Next week will mark the first birthday of my re-birth, or the beginning of my 9th life. I was on the way to an appointment, and for some reason I ‘stumbled’ and did a face plant.  A couple walking towards me saw me go over, like a tree that had been felled, and rushed…

  One of the towels listed in my ko-fi shop Today I finally managed to get into my ko-fi shop and clean up my listings removing the USA from destinations that I will ship to, which leaves just…Canada. The fact of the matter is that the vast majority of my sales in ko-fi were made…

One of the ‘fun’ things about following people on social media is that you learn of things you might never have known about. There are several authors I follow on Bluesky, and since I enjoy the writing of Guy Gavriel Kay, I always take notice when he recommends a book by someone else.  Generally he…

  The past 10 months or so has been…interesting.  As of August 28, it will be one year since I fell and almost died.  The past 10 months have been a roller coaster ride that I never wished for but found myself on, anyway. Which is sort of how ‘life’ works. You make plans and…

  The photo is one of the tea towels currently on sale at my ko-fi shop.  It is one of the new designs, made this spring and it is based on the Swedish Snowflake design, which I reworked several times to give different looks/feels.  These ones are 100% cotton.  I also have some cotton warp/linen…

  Yesterday I reached the 1/3 done stage of this warp.  The web was cut off and the warp re-tied and I began again. I have not wet finished these yet, there are only 7 towels and that’s kind of a small load to run the washer/dryer so I’ll wait.  I *may* do that after…

  With the continuing uncertainty of (waves hands) it was a hard decision but I finally decided on having a July sale (as I usually do), but have it only available to Canadian addresses.  (Europeans can contact me for shipping costs.  I pretty much need to check, country by country and need to know the…
