It is finally time to post some of the weaving I did in preparation for the Driftless art fair in September. That so traumatized me that I have only just now put something new on my loom and I am not all that happy about it. Seems that I want to weave only something that [...]
This weeks 2nd Monday's gathering was hosted by Barb, with lots of yummies to eat and pretties to see.

This day was perfectly filled with [...]
