For it being a such a crazy time, where the crazies are seemingly without end, it is surprising how fast the summer is actually disappearing. With another shooting in Wisconsin of an unarmed black man this weekend, we are once again confronted with the evidence of a racist society, and now the back lash of [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Well December was here and gone in the blink of an eye and I better get this post in before our January meeting rolls around next Monday. Our 2nd Monday weavers group met at the Viroqua Food Coop; such a nice space to relax from all the hoopla of the holidays and share what we [...]
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 months, oops I mean July's weavers gathering was a lovely drive down to Wauzeka to visit with Barb B. and of course her very photogenic llama Gandolf. We saw lots of high water and signs of flooding along the way and the Wisconsin River seemed incredibly high. But a car full of weavers driving [...]
Well winter is still here, as I write this we are looking to see more -15 degrees temperatures coming back this weekend even though it will officially be March. But then again we have had some great snowfalls and beautiful blue skies. Spring always comes...right? Our weavers group met once again at our local food [...]
In an effort to avoid winter travel woes, January's 2nd Monday weavers gathering was held in the community room of our incredible newly renovated Viroqua Food Coop. One of our weavers is Jan who also just happens to be the manager of the coop and she graciously offered to host the group and boy did [...]
This Decembers weavers gathering was at Sonya's and Cecil's house in town. It was such a beautiful drive into town, with the trees covered in sparkle frost that I had to stop for a photo. On the way home an eagle was sitting on the post of my bridge just as I was about to cross [...]
