With Thanksgiving this weekend and our fiber gathering mid November, I have many things in my life to be thankful for. Â Our family gathering was very meaningful this year, partly because it has been the first since covid and mostly because my sister was there to enjoy it with us. She has been fighting the [...]
Our 2nd Monday weavers gathering had a perfect fall day in the perfect location at Elin and Bob's beautiful ridgetop farm. We  enjoyed what will probably be our final time to enjoy sitting outside; drinking coffee, along with lots of political discussion and there is always some fun show and tell.  I was happy to [...]
As in where did this summer go? Â Since our weavers gathering met at my house in June we have had a couple of gatherings in the park in town and a missed meeting for September cause apparently everyone was as crazy busy as I was. The Driftless Art Fair was here and gone in the [...]
Our 2nd Monday gathering was at my house this month. It seemed like a good time to host as I am between art fair craziness and it has been such a lovely spring for flowers, if I squint my eyes to not see any of the weeds. Also my house really needed cleaning. It was [...]
After a two year hiatus the Winding Roads Art Tour had a very successful return on June 4-5. I was fortunate to share the home of my friend, jeweler Nan Marshall to display my handwovens and jewelry. It was fun to share our work with so many people, some from as far away as the [...]
It was pretty great heading to Barbs house for our 2nd Monday weavers gathering last Monday.  First the drive down through our  rolling  hills of the driftless region and then down along the Wisconsin River was lovely, even without any seeing much evidence of spring time green colors yet.  It was just great to get [...]
Last Monday our weavers group gathered again at Elin's new studio.  We were a small but apparently very productive group.  As always seeing the amazing textiles that these talented women create has me itching to get busy on my loom. Jewelry making has been  a lovely distraction in preparation for VIVA Gallery's February Jewelry and [...]
As usual December was here and gone so fast I don't know why I was in such a tizzy. Â One respite from all of the holiday preparations was our weavers gathering that took place at a pop-up shop in Viroqua called Artisan Alley. It was a great place to find quality handmade items and I [...]
I find myself behind on posts for our weavers gathering, partly because until just recently we had the internet from hell and it was pretty torturous to try to post. Â There is also a slight lazy factor but oh well, I'm just going with blaming the internet. Â But now we have entered the modern age [...]
The Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival took place this year (yeah) and with The Driftless Art fair not happening (sad), a friend and I took off, to spend a day with all things wooly. I have done this fair as a vendor for many years and this was the first time I could just galavant [...]
