Many thanks to Nan for hosting this months (oh wait, it was last months) weavers gathering. Tells you how crazy busy I have been. We had Sharon join us for the first time with some of the many projects she has woven over the years. Great inspiration, I hope that she joins us often. Many [...]
 On a recent family vacation to San Francisco, I goggled yarn shops while sitting in the airport and copied down the address for Artfibers. It was actually a short distance from our hotel and with a banner like that how could I not follow my fiber nose. It did mean tricking my kids into going [...]

Giving myself some credit or perhaps [...]
good friends...good foodThis months 2nd Monday gathering was at my home, with a large turnout I was having a hard time keeping up with everyone's show and tell. This is a most productive group. I will leave my spring scarf disaster for another post. But everyone else's projects were awesome.
