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 [...]

It wouldn't be summer, without a lazy day, sitting on the porch at Barb and Harry's home; which is exactly what our weavers group did for our 2nd Monday gathering. Lots of projects to share, laughter and of course great food. Barb is as inspired of a cook as she is a weaver. I'm still [...]

Thanks Olga for sharing your home so generously with us. Your home is such [...]
