Embarrassment of Riches
This is just some of the yarn I am trying to use up. So far I have woven a few warps of two scarves each, and wound six more. And I haven’t even scratched the surface because there are many more boxes of yarn still in storage…this was just an effort to design a…

The drive east was wet on and off. At one point, because it IS road construction season after all, we were stopped to let one way traffic go by. It wasn’t raining at that precise minute, but it was still dreary. The mountains are always majestic, no matter the season or weather so I quickly…

On the Road Again
A beautiful spring day makes the wait for the ferry pleasant. There is wifi in the parking lot so I have been catching up on chat groups, some of which have been very active! We had a brief but very nice visit with friends, plus visiting with some of the textile people in the area,…

Going ‘Dark’
Well, we are off tomorrow – two craft fairs, back to back with a two day drive in between – through the mountains – to get from one to the other. Then home for two days and off again to teach at Grand Forks. Another 1.5 day drive there and back. Not sure how much…

What Day Is It?
It’s Holiday! If it is the Duck March, it must be Memphis, TN. From the roof of the Peabody. The mighty Mississippi.

Interlude
Yesterday Mary and I went on a little road trip. During our ‘spare’ time we have been sight seeing in and around town. Friday we got up and got going fairly early (for us) and headed east along Hwy 16 to the Ancient Forest. This is an interior rain forest and many of the towering…
