Like so many things, for the last couple of months our 2nd Monday weavers gathering has been on hold, with limited contact via email to see how everyone is dealing with this time of uncertainty, fear and isolation. Our country is experiencing continually rising numbers of covid-19 infections in part due to a lack of [...]
clouds are my happy place right now poem by Pablo Neruda Keeping Quiet Now we will count to twelve and we will all keep still for once on the face of the earth, let’s not speak in any language; let’s stop for a second, and not move our arms so much. It would [...]
I find it hard to believe how much our world has changed in just over a week since our weavers group got together at Jan and Tony's new home. What I thought wouldn't affect our rural Wisconsin lives much at all has seen our local schools and businesses close and friends and neighbors self isolating [...]
Sonya hosted our 2nd Monday fiber group this month and gave us a delightful tour of some of the Finnish textiles that she grew up with. Such exquisite linens, so expertly created gave me something to strive for and made me proud that I, in a small way, continue in the art of making cloth [...]
Elin hosted our 2nd Monday weavers group on a wintry day in January. Her and Bob's farm is as beautiful in it's winter slumber as it is in the bloom of summer. Their farm with its beautiful vistas is the epitome of what our Driftless Area of western Wisconsin is. A place of hills and [...]

It turned out to be a lovely fall day to have the weavers gather at my house. I wish the killing frost had waited one more day but despite the lack of flowers we managed to have a great time. Parking is always an issue at my house and with a surprise visit by our [...]
This summer has come and gone in the blink of an eye; with a trip to New York City to visit a daughter and then a more relaxing week next to Lake Superior at Grand Marais , with lots of weaving for the Driftless Area Art Fair thrown in every spare second. It was a [...]
This month's weavers gathering was at Judith's new home. It's just around the corner from her previous home and seems to be the perfect fit for her. I wish I had been there to see her and Susan getting her Glimakra Julie loom out of the old place and carried down the street to its [...]
