New Blogger
Mary Lessman is a master spinner (Olds College Master Spinner program), weaver and now – as of today – a blogger. She has been toying with the idea of starting a blog for a while now and today I ‘forced’ her to sit down at my desktop and get ‘er done. Mary is also one of…

The Drinking Game
The level two students at Cape Breton were obviously well indoctrinated during level one and very quickly on day one someone suggested that every time I answered a question prefaced with the words “It depends” that everyone got to take a drink. We very quickly increased our caffeine intake! Because almost every weaving question requires…

One Down…
I use the living room floor as a staging area for my trips. While this is an old photo, my floor will soon look just like this again – or very similar. Some changes have been made. For one thing, the attache case that has traveled with me for literally thousands of miles over the…

Whoosh! Swish!
I love deadlines. Especially the sound as they Swoosh by! I knew that this spring was going to be crunchy with deadlines and I am now in the thick of them. The first level one class is a ‘go’ and as much as can be done, has been done. My tickets are booked, class materials…
