  • Sweeping Cobwebs – Still

    Sweeping Cobwebs – Still

    Obviously I wasn’t thinking clearly when I set up my schedule for the end of this year.  Generally I can cope with the myriad deadlines that peak throughout the year, but who thought it was a good idea to have so many things all come to a head the last couple of weeks of the…

  • Road Trips

    One thing about travelling to do these two craft fairs is that Doug is doing the majority of the driving so I have lots of time to doze….and think. While I try to stay in the now as much as possible, there is no denying that life requires a certain amount of forward planning.  …

  • Another Year, Another Sale

    Circle Craft is over for another year.  In the end it went well enough that we will likely return next year.  The show, which encompasses Remembrance Day, will run Thursday to Monday next year.  I don’t know if that is A Good Thing or not.  Guess we will find out. Today I joined the shoppers.…

  • Tomato Soup

    Tomato Soup

    I kept thinking about tomato/vegetable soup while weaving this.  Perhaps it has something to do with the weather or the colours (which are somewhat brighter in life) – who knows how the brain makes these tiny little connections? Took most of the afternoon to deal with some administrivia and the article for Handwoven but that…

  • And God Laughed

    They say that if you want to hear God laugh, tell him/her your plans. I had a plan.  It was a good one. See, the older I get, the more light/dazzle sensitive my eyes are getting which makes driving on the highway in the dark very uncomfortable.  So with darkness drawing in earlier and earlier…

  • Looking Northward

    This morning I packed up my stock from the Fair, brought it back to my friend’s house, re-inventoried with the tags for the Seattle guild sale, packed everything up ready for October, packed my bags/van and I’m ready to head north tomorrow morning. I doubt I’ll get all the way home as I have to…

  • Wrenching

    Wrenching

    One of the things Doug did last week was to make me a new wing nut ‘wrench’. A loom is pretty much a machine made from wood.  Wood which is susceptible to the humidity – the drier it is the more the wood dries out and shrinks.  The more humid it is, the more the…

  • Will I Ever Learn?

    Will I Ever Learn?

    I live so far away from anywhere that when I make a trip I tend to cobble on one more thing, then one more, and….. (If you want to know exactly how far away from anywhere I live, check out Prince George BC Canada on Google Maps, etc.) This is what my lr looks like…
