Another Trip Round the Sun.
Celebrating another trip round the sun by…dressing the loom again. 🙂 As I have been reflective about my weaving, I have also been reflective about my life. Over the years I have made mistakes – and hopefully learned from them. I have tried my darndest to think about the end result of decisions that I…

Thoughtful Thought
I have never been one to rush into a decision. Well, hardly ever. So I spent a lot of time thinking about the post I wrote yesterday. Thinking about how much energy I may – or may not – have in the coming years. How most people my age have long ago retired from their…

Be Bold
Writing a book, especially a technical one about a craft that is multi-layered, is a bit of a dance. A waltz, perhaps. Two steps forward, one sideways? Like dancing, one never really writes a book All By Themselves. In my case, I have had multiple ‘partners’ as friends have beta read and given their observations. …

I have also been thinking about the conference planning, which I really need to get back to – SOON! – and plans to have an author signing event at the conference. …

Fatigue Brain Fog
Yes it’s March. No, winter isn’t over yet. (This photo is from a couple of years ago – the snow is actually much, much deeper/higher this year.) But the new year is well established and the calendar keeps rolling, day by day. Deadlines come – and go. And I am finally starting to feel better…

Back to the Future
As a weaver/writer/teacher I am constantly working on things that won’t actually happen until some time in the future. In this case, I’m working on a suite of samples for an article/project for the Nov/Dec 2018 issue of Handwoven. Yes, the lead time for magazine articles can easily be 9 months. Since I also have…

Impostor Syndrom
There are so many ways we wind up feeling like an impostor! For years I didn’t quite believe that I had written a ‘real’ book, in spite of its physical presence on my shelf. When it went out of print, I struggled again with the fact that I had actually written a book. There were…
