    And I now have a professional email. I’ve made some decisions about selling online and where to concentrate my efforts. I’ve decided to shut down the Shopify store. I put some effort into setting it up and learned some good things, but I’ve decided to build what I want from this site. In fits and…

    My current work in progress is a tapestry of Grogu (aka Baby Yoda). I’m really pleased with how it’s turning out. I am learning as I am going. Each piece is unique and brings its own challenges. I’m happy with how his first hand came out. I’ve never worked with a template before. I’ve also…

I intentionally chose fibers of various thicknesses just to see how they would go together knowing that others would likely find…

    I’m working with a repurposed French press. I still need to make the base a bit larger for a better fit. Then I plan to fill in some more around the sides of the pitcher with fibers of different origins.

    Yesterday I called in sick. I said I wasn’t feeling well. Which wasn’t not true. But I haven’t been feeling well for a couple of years at least. The real reason I called in had to do with “self care” and holding myself accountable.

    I think that I have had this tapestry on my loom longer than any other work. I’m pretty sure I started it in February. With everything going on in my life these days, I feel lucky to find any time to work on this. I love the sparkly sky and the textures. I love how…

    I started a new weaving project. It’s another tapestry. When I began, I thought I was going to working on a sun, but it quickly morphed into something else.
