An Anachronism
Anachronism: person or thing out of harmony with the time I am the very definition of an anachronism. I knew very little about weaving when I chose to become a professional weaver. It had not been a hobby that grew. I wasn’t trying to sell enough to cover the cost of my materials. In fact,…

Home Stretch
300 copies. That’s how many I ordered. This morning they arrived and I have begun signing them in preparation to packaging them up and getting them to the post office. Hopefully the first batch will go tomorrow, although that may be a little…optimistic. But – they are here and I am in the home stretch.…

Highs, Lows and Long Slogs
I know a number of writers personally and follow some more on social media. Inevitably some of them will hit a low patch in their writing, so I was well aware (also because of having done this once before) that getting this book ‘born’ and into the world would resemble a roller coaster. Life also…

2018->2019
Today is the last calendar day of 2018. It’s been quite the ride. It is also time to get back to work. I will finally open the Christmas cards that have arrived and write out my own. There is a reason my cards say “Season’s Greetings” or “Happy Holidays”. But after that? I need to…

Feedback
Since getting home from San Jose, I have slowly been getting back to the loom, trying to build up muscle tone after not weaving much since early Oct. Even when I felt like weaving on the AVL, I didn’t ‘have much energy or focus, so while I did finally manage to finish the warp I’d…

The Numbers Are In
The introductory offer for The Intentional Weaver ended at midnight last night. The numbers are in. The order for the printed books has been sent. There is an anticipated date for the shipment to leave the printing facility. This project has been…interesting…especially when compared to self-publishing Magic in the Water. So much has changed since…

Weaving to Spec
One of the things I needed to learn when I became a weaver was to figure out how to weave to ‘spec’. What does that mean? It means I had to weave to a certain quality – given specifications. At first those specifications were determined by me – I wanted a very particular quality of…
