Breadcrumbs
Ms and Ws weaving draft As I scroll through my weaving files, I cannot fail to notice that so many of my designs have – at least lately – an abundance of twill variations. This one is ‘called’ Ms and Ws and is a simple 4 shaft twill which can look ‘fancy’. But it…

Delays
My copy of WEFT arrived and I neglected to book the guild room for another ‘weavers gathering’. However, it looks like this coming Sunday, August 24, 2025 is available and the room/key person is willing to come open the room for me, so…even though I delayed getting the word out, people may show up. …

New Tech
digital cover of Issue 2 I recently updated Windows with the help of a friend, and I’m still discovering new ways Windows doesn’t work like it used to do. :P~ However, here is the cover of the next copy of WEFT. Yes, I have a small contribution in it. 😀 I got the 2nd issue…

The Best Thing

Organized
Well, I am still not ‘healed’ from the brain injury. I used to be able to juggle several major projects – all at once – and keep track of the deadlines – and where I was in terms of progress on all of them. I have been working steadily on writing content for WEFT…

Production Line
I bit the proverbial bullet today and started working on the samples – again. What you see in the photo are just *some* of the samples I wove – there is a bin on the back of the loom with more in it – because there just wasn’t enough room on my work table…

Debut
Yesterday I got a peep at the new WEFT magazine. I have enjoyed writing several articles for WEFT, and am working on the next. (Just finished roughing out the draft for one of the examples.) One of the things I am struggling with right now is a distinct lack of energy. I’m not sleeping…

Community
When my samples were returned from WEFT after being photographed, they included a lapel button. For a moment I had regrets that I am no longer travelling so that I could go to a conference and wear my ‘contributor’ button. I’ve been contributing to magazines for a rather long time, so it’s not like…
